Thanks, Not looking for illegal. I just didn't see netflix or Hulu mention anyting about downloading and watching later. I will check the site again for details. Any other sites that allow downloads will be great.

Tech was out today and I am very pleased witht he test results. My concern now is the signal strength used to be 111 but now is only 85. I hope I don't lose the internet everythime it rains. Gen 4 was well abobe 100 as well and I never lost internet even with the big tunderheads. Dish TV on the other hand was in and out everytime it rained. I will keep you posted but marking this issue closed for now. If anyone has comments regarding the reliablity during storms when starting out at 85 I would like to hear. Thanks all.

Did some testing starting a 5:30Am here and speeds look good but the charts where terrible. This last one was at 8am do see what it looked like when I went from bonus to regular time. IF I had this dat flow on a regular basis even if the speed dropped during peak I would be very happy. Unfortuanely this is the exception NOT the rule. The rates during a single run of the test are usually all over the map, typically over 80% variance. As a process engineer I would say the system is NOT under control. Not sure whre the data is controlled but would expect it to be at the main office not local. So I suspect the tech will not be able to do much except maybe point me to a better Sat. Can one of the techs on here explain how the data is supposed to be controlled? I really don't care to see bursts over 100MB when it next drops to 5MB even if it gives me a 30MB average. This seems like it would be jacking everybodys data rates around.

Thanks for the info on add blockers. Yahoo is killing me with the video popups that load automatically. Supposedly there is some place in IE. I can turn that off but no luck finding it yet.

This really looks like what I would expect to see once I exceded my data allowence. This graph pattern has been consistent the past several tests with Hughes being able to say yup your above 1MB but still making sure to be vary painfull for someone to stream by fources it tio well below 1MB at fairly consitent intervals. Problem is I still have over 8GB left on my usage meter,

I was hopping for a little better but never figured it would work for streaming. I just wish Hughes would allow use the run at the 1MB and if we did freeze our GB usage until we chose to run full speed. Like a self imposed throttling. I really have not need to stream everyday but this coming month for example I would like to watch the World cup games Brazil is in. With no streaming I usually run out with the 10GM a few days before the end of the month. I do do some Youtube Music videos. Low quality but still eat away at the day cap.

Has anyone had an luck using Gen5 for streaming will in the Fair Use speed slow down? I was told I should see 5M minimum. I thinks this is another case to the phone "salesmen" I hate to say it by flat out Lying or not very well informed about the product he is selling. I saw on the Hughes site it said I should be between 1.5 -3MB which it was showing data from HULU and the rest leading one to believe at the "standard" def I would still be able to stream. I see on here some are saying less then 1MB is in policy. In my case I accept the fact Hughes has me bent over the table and I take what I get. It does beat the **bleep** out of dialup which I did for 8 years here. I just upgraded to the Gen 5 which as long as I dont' go backwards compared to the Gen 4 I figure I am doing good as the same 10GB plan is costing $10 less a month. I just really wish the phone reps and Hughes web site would be Honest.

I remembered about the wifi thing after I posted. I ran another test wit direct cable from modem to computer. Improved but the max didn't make it to 18MB and the Average while better is still less then half the 25MB target. I do understand the AVG is still carrying the 5MB. Watching the runs connected to the cable I was still below 15MB on all but 1 run.

Speeds are not even close to what I was told they would be. See https://testmy.net/quickstats/ab8al I was told this would be the expected speed after FPA throttling. I am supposed to be at full speed now.
