If data allowance was reached, that dropped severely- I was seeing between .5 and 2.5 mbps. However, bonus speeds would remain around 25 until I reached 50gb, then it didn't matter what time I used the system, it severely throttled. I've had Hughesnet for a couple of years, I know the speed patterns for my area. I'm not asking for blazing 100+ mbps like I'm connected to broadband, I am asking why their posted COVID19 policy doesn't appear to be in effect once data limit is reached. If you have bonus data available, you should still be getting normal speeds during the bonus period, even if you're throttled during the day. If you're not, you should talk to technical support. Even with the internet being overburdened, you shouldn't be getting such slow speeds if you are not throttled.
