I think I will call someone if this happens next month. This is my speed at 6:30 AM, during the bonus zone. https://testmy.net/db/VPBRlRMtA This is my speed at 8:30 AM, during normal hours. https://testmy.net/db/30prueliX I have no data on either test, FAP during normal and bonus. I know I did these 1 day apart but I'm usually at work before 8 when my bonus zone ends so it is hard to do these tests on the same day. But the speed during the bonus zone used to be the FAP seed ALL DAY. And it only has been this slow this month, never happened before. It can't be the weather where my gateway is or it would be slow regardless of what time it was. It's not the weather where I live because it is clear for the last few days. If it was my satellite out of alignment it would be slow also regardless of what time it as, not fast between 2-8 AM then immediately drop at 8 AM when the bonus time ends. It can't be congestion otherwise I would have had this slow speed every month during FAP for the last few years, again this only happened this month. ... View more

The strange thing is I've never had this problem. I always use up my data a week or so before the end of the month and my FAP speeds were always in the 200-300 kilobytes a second range, in both the normal hours and the bonus time. It was normal last month. I thought the strong storms and high winds I had a few weeks ago knocked my satellite out of alignment, but then why are my speeds normal during the bonus zone and as soon as the bonus zone ends it drops? It didn't do that anytime before this month in the last few years. I don't think it is congestion unless everyone that has hughesnet gets on their computer at exactly 8 AM LOL! I've tried doing the speed tests but the 25 MB one took 9 minuets to get through it! I've tried both WIFI and wired connection and both the same slowness. ... View more

So this morning I was up at 7:30 AM and looked at my video game that was downloading on Steam, and it was going between 200-350 kilobytes/s. this is still during the Bonus zone. When 8:00 AM hit on the exact second, the bonus zone time ended and the speed dropped to 40 kilobytes a second. If I'm getting normal FAP speed during bonus zone, why is it dropping during normal time? ... View more

I don't have time to do all of these tests. 1 should be good enough. I can get more, but they will not be 5 minutes apart as I have other things to do. ... View more

Here is my speed for today. My normal during FAP is 200 kilobytes, this is 47 kilobytes. Might as well unplug my internet for the rest of the month LOL. https://testmy.net/db/Kt1hwVta8 ... View more

The slow speed came back, and rebooting both the modem and the WiFi did nothing this time. $150 for less than dial up speed LOL! This slow speed only happened when Web Acceleration was turned off, so I still blame that. I've had no problems like this before! It was a bit faster during the "bonus time" (about 200 Kilobytes/s which is NORMAL during FAP at ALL times, NOT just the bonus Zone time) but then eventually it went back to between 10-40 kilobytes/s. This is unacceptable. HugesNET either needs to turn Web Acceleration back on or refund all my data allowance for free so I can get through the month. Again, 200 kilobytes/s is normal during FAP, not 10 kilobytes/s. ... View more

An update, I went to the WiFi settings on my HugesNet Control Panel and I rebooted the Wifi. Now I'm getting good download speeds on Steam ( about 250 kilobytes/s). Before I did this I was still getting speeds around 50-100 kilobytes/s. Maybe that did something? ... View more

My beam ID is 64. ... View more

I just got to work so I'll have to find out what beam I'm on and do a speed test later today.  I kind of feel bad for saying this, but I'm glad it's not just me lol! I was only 20 GB away from getting a game downloaded, and with normal FAP speed it should only take a few days downloading 8 hours a night, but now it probably won't get done this month :( in comparison last month when I was in FAP speed I had 11 days until my usuage reset and I was able to get over 180 GB in games downloaded in that time, it was awesome. Maybe the severe storms had something to do with it. I didn't have anything more than some heavy wind but maybe it screwed with wherever Hughes net is located. But anyway enough rambling, thank you for the help, I'll post my beam number and speed test later today! ... View more
