@GabeU was only referring to the two speed measurements he highlighted: 2.56 Mbps up and 21.69 Mbps down. Those two were normal.  So ignore the poor download speeds? Again I must be missing something ... View more

That question is NOT pertinent to my problem...not sure why it was asked. My problem is NOT wifi. I hope that has been made clear. My problem is 1.streaming on a cable connection during daytime hours. 2. Downloading large files during daytime hours. Low low low download speeds during daytime hours......... https://testmy.net/quickstats/Randalldb How does that not answer her question? What am I missing? Please spell it out. ... View more

I usually find it difficult to download anything during the day, my mytest.net results have been very poor on a laptop connected to modem via cable anytime after 8 am till about 9pm. Then I get good speeds. During the day I'm getting under 1 mbps ... View more

243,191,159 kbps  not so slow? for ethernet ? those are dl speeds on a cable connection. isnt that a problem?  @GabeU wrote: @randalldb wrote: i had wifi turned off during this test, look at the results just below the ones you highlighted, not sure why you see wifi I don't see WiFi.  Your reply caused me to assume, apparently mistakenly, that you were referring to the most recent test.  And with you having noted that it was while directly connected I assumed, again mistakenly, the at least some of the prior tests were not and that they were instead run via WiFi.  Going by those mistaken assumptions, and with your most recent test (as of that time) being good, but the prior ones not being quite slow, I figured that the problem may be with your WiFi.     My mistake.   ...

Individual screenshots won't be accepted; they need a history of speed tests.    You do need to do the 25 MB download test.  I had a day with slow speeds such as yours, and the 25 MB tests didn't take hours -- took between 5 and 10 minutes each.     EDIT: here's the URL to your stats page:  https://testmy.net/quickstats/randalldb EDIT 2: Your speeds have been pretty bad for a several months.  Have you done any troubleshooting (besides speed tests) with the HN reps on this site?  Ive had this issue since I got Hughesnet, most times its acceptable,5 to 14 mbps,many times its well below 3mbps. never better than that, ive tried a little but with the pandemic increasing the traffic at the time i thought id wait till it got a bit less congested to remove that as a factor ...

Well , during peak hours my internet speed had been around 500 kbps, an agent sent me a new router, plugged it in, waited an hour, then finished the install, initially the performance was the same, but now its risen to acceptable levels. Still not what I would call good but in this time I'll say it'll do. If it drops back to what seems like the old dial up 14.4 I'll send you a note, thanks for your response I will unplug my dtv Reciever unless I want to download a show ... View more
