Remy, I didn’t get a call - I just noted a satellite down line load of software last week and when the high speed plan and tokens ran out the throttle was back to the levels it always had been - slow, but usable for Edgenuity school, and not the 30kbps we had been plagued with. Test my dot net shows about 300kbps - the other Speedtest sites show about 3mbps - I’m pretty sure your site is more accurate with regards to TCP speeds whereas the others are UDP based, which eliminates the round trip packet ack choke. At any rate - we can use the service again - which with the covid online situation with the school is the most important thing. Having to drive an hour to poach the WiFi at the library wasn’t a cutting it 🤣 Thanks again for your attention to this. Bill ... View more

Remy, We ran out of high speed plan and tokens today and the throttle is in effect - and it appears the software download that came in the other night has worked. We’re getting the usual 1-3mbps instead of the dial up speeds that started this thread. Whatever you guys did, thanks. 😉 ... View more

Remy /  here's the 24 hours sub e yesterday's tests. And I've noticed Something odd that might explain the low speeds while the high-speed plan is still in effect - I look at my modem's homepage and I've noticed the whole time that we've been doing these tests I have a diagnostic code of five, web acceleration disabled. There's no amber or red lights and everything else says it's working at high-speed but the diagnostic code says otherwise. https://testmy.net/quickstats/DCPOWER?hostQ=hughes_network_syste   ...

Thanks, Remy. I’m still on the high speed plan - just to confirm these aren’t throttled speeds. Yet. We will be out of high speed by tomorrow. Also, the sat modem appeared to receive an extended inquiry or software update last night around 10pm MST ... just FYI. ... View more

85.69 kbps now. 1.3mbps upload. Plan still active for High Speed! ... View more

I’m now continuing tests via lan port do the results on that link will continue to update Most recent download is 185.69 kbps. Upload was 73 kbps. Kb! Not Mb. I can’t attach screen shots but the file should reflect this. Thanks for your help. This has to be addressed - obviously. ... View more

Gentlemen, I’ve continued the tests per procedure. In plan speeds are still 2 mbps down to 326kbps this morning. Here’s the link. I’m sending one that seems to work when I am logged out since you had trouble with the link that conformed to the directions (from the email sent by test my dot net. https://testmy.net/quickstats/DCPOWER?_fromLogout=1 Here’s the latest email.

Here’s the first run on high speed data plan active - https://testmy.net/quickstats/DCPOWER As you can see my high speeds look like throttled speeds. I’m running another now and will post it in 24 hours When the high speed plan runs out I’ll post that / IF I can even run them at the throttle speed. I’m actually ok with 2mbps - it’s too expensive - and the high speed marketing and data caps are silly at this point except that the throttle basically is no service so we have to buy expensive tokens. Why not just sell unlimited data at 2mbps and quit pretending users will get faster actual throughput? Beam 42 clients don’t. ... View more

If anything the situation has migrated into the high speed plan. Other than at the various “speed test” sites - which are slower than a few months ago - I’m measuring no more than 1.7mbps downloads of known sized files from various locations online. This is high speed plan active. I’m about out of that again due to my daughter’s COVID required online school and my use - so when it chokes I guess I’ll have to go to town and let her poach WiFi - if it’s down to 30kbps again. ...

I understand if it’s a congestion issue - with the increase of home office work it’s got to be a pain for satellite operators. I was doing this internationally in 1995 and do understand the bandwidth and complexity of Ka operations. It’s BAD, though. It did start on the 20th at noon. Even in plan speeds are lower during the day now - 3-5 mb from sites other than speedtest sites are routine (it’s easy to time the download speed of files known files. Perhaps a new school or business user was added on beam 42 that day. Anything you can do to balance the traffic would be appreciated! I know Charlie Ergin from my days in satellite and the value he places on “optimal cash flow” but over subscription in the face of Elon’s Starlink roll out won’t help him there!🤣 Thanks again for your help! ...

We had a 50GB plan for a year and when school went online, started running out of high speed data regularly but found er could live with the data throttle of 1-3 mbps until it refreshed. A couple of months ago I added voip since the Qos on cell phone wifi calling was obviously set very low priority and nobody could understand a word. At that time I changed to a 10GB plan with thr voip (budget tight). That worked until 1/20/21 when throttle speed dropped to <50kbps. Really useless. So, I reset to a 50GB plan again - which is what you’re seeing now. I can really afford the 50GB and the voip but with school, the 30-50 KB throttle speed made use impossible, so I had no choice. We won’t make it 30 days at 50GB cap and I throttle back is really worse than dial up I’m not sure how to continue. Half of my daughters curriculum is video lecture and assigned video to watch and report on (Edgenuity). At 1-3mbps it worked. We’ve got to get it back to those advertised speeds. It was as I said quite workable - but something changed. I wasn’t congestion since when I bought tokens performance was not showing congestion. It’s a throttle setting. What I’m asking is / somebody get us back to our throttle at 1-3mbps. Please. Without this speed - which is slow but st least T1-E1 speed - we can use the internet. This dial up with 1.5-4 sec latency, 500msec jitter at 30Kbps - it’s equivalent to no service. My daughter can’t even stay logged in. ... View more

Simple to install, and the dropout is solved. I’ll get the old one into ups today. Thanks! ... View more

Liz, thank you! I emailed you my address, though you should have it on file. Thanks again! ... View more
