I won't say what I did because last time I told people how to get better numbers and faster service I got booted from the system. If I divide the results of testmy.net by 100 it matches my results from Speedtest every time. I will say you can change your Quality of Service, if you know what I mean. For whatever reason HughesNet doesn't want us to know about this solution or the engineers would have sent me to it when we talked.
