It appears to be a congestion problem, as this morning great speed. There was no weather last nite, so remove that variable. Sadly I will ask for a site check for coverage today for WISP from my local provider. I thought with so many subscribers gone from the fires we had last Summer congestion would be reduced, but the use of high streaming use in evenings is still a problem.

Hi, I'll have to dig out my 35 ft ethernet cable for the required test. Since the wifi appears acceptable except in the later part of the day, and your suggestion the problem is congestion, not a technical problem, as the testmytest data shows, it seems a foregone conclusion that congestion is the culprit. There was no other users at my end when the speeds took a dive. Thanks

https://testmy.net/quickstats/ecoalex As you can see, my speeds are erratic, I seem to lose my connection some times. This on my 2 computers. I am looking at WISP, Conifer Comm. is offering 4-6 mps no allowances, throttling at a comparable, or lower price as Hughes. I have been with Hughes many years, however the last year's speeds have been erratic as the tests show, It is to the point of annoying youtube buffering after 7 Pm. I would like to stay with Hughes, but if there is no solution to my problem , I am inclined to try WISP from my local provider. I have my youtube DPI set at 250, so not trying for HD. When I have 1.5 mps, I have no problems, faster is a bonus , but it seems 1.5 in the evenings is rare. Any reply is appreciated. Thanks

The ad blocker also stopped me from being able to mark as answered. I don't know what my connection loss problem was, it appears to have stopped, perhaps the last linux update 2 days ago?

I tried 2 browsers, I cannot make it stop. I mark accept as solution, and denied error- Authentication failed for the action you are trying to do. This failure could be due to your browser not supporting JavaScript, JavaScript not being enabled, or trying to use the action URL directly in the browser address bar instead of clicking the link on the page.

Mint LMDE is the lightweight distro great for older puters. I installed it on a lightweight older machine a few years back, it worked well with vitrual box even. I've toyed with getting a small laptop, and installing LMDE , but my curiosity has waned. I'm a Mate user, that's as simple for a full distro as far as I can tell, tried many, but settled on Mate. Keep it simple, my credo. There are lots of Mint games now, I'm not a gamer at all, but it is there. Mint is fully functional compared to Ubuntu , ready out of the box, easy peazy lemon squeey :) good for me.

I use Mint 20 . Been on Linux for 10+ years, Mint has over 70,000 apps, the OS too all free. With wine, you can use windows apps, and dual boot os , I just use Mint, Just no comparison for what I need , just the basics. The recovery act brought 2 fiber optic cable near me, then a private company-Conifer set up towers for wifi service, but my location blocks negates my ability to use it. Living in a canyon, I do have ATT cell service, but that would be expensive, plus the allowances, and throttling is also are an issue for my neighbor. They know about Hughes, and agree it would be better, but won't use them for broadband. Hughes works for me, I'm very satisfied. I remember 12mps dial-up, so I'm living large now :)

I live in a canyon in a rural area. The other options are not available to me, or much more expensive. Hughes is the best deal, I tell others using their phone, or wifi services. I am happy with Hughes. From what I understand, Musk's system will cost much more. His is the only other Sat system available. I don't like the man, Gates, or Zukerberg either. The mods here have been great, I like Hughes. I am trying to find answers for my connection problem (in another thread) It appears to be better, with more Linux updates. I believe that was what caused my problem. Trying to search for a problem is a process of elimination as we know. I appreciate the efforts of the all mods here, Liz especially she's a treasure :)

So I can expect increasingly slower speeds. I keep seeing the Hughesnet ads, they tout speeds subscribers will get. Buying tokens also will not help then.There needs to be a proviso as in the drug ads :) (may cause cancer, death )

If capacity was never a problem, my Beam-19 was full on the latest satellite, the solution was to put me back on the old satellite, the tech came and re-aimed the dish back to it's original aim. Capacity was told to be the problem, where I got the thought. I had slow speeds, close to dial-up, after the re-aim, I had good speeds. They have slowed down since then. The testmytest data shows this. If that wasn't the problem what was? Why the re-aim. If congestion -capacity is not a problem, then other mods here have steered me wrong.

It appears the problem then is capacity. Either Hughes will have to increase capacity ; another bird, or Musk will solve the capacity problem . Any other possible solutions?

It is 5:30 Am , the bonus time , I am under FAP after 8, I am under the impression, the bonus time allows me unthrottled speeds. My testmytest speeds are under 8mps. What am I missing here? I have all browser tabs closed , only testmytest open for tests . https://testmy.net/quickstats/ecoalex Thanks

Firefox did not allow me to chose a posting label, Chrome did. Could be Firefox ad ons ? The speed tests between the 2 browsers are nearly the same. The top 3 Chrome, the 2 lower Firefox. I am not able to see if the connection problem stays with Chrome time will tell. https://testmy.net/quickstats/ecoalex 12/13/21 11:31:40 am 564 kbps 71 kB/s Hughes 1.4 MB 27082781503639 US QJ7_DIoqg 12/13/21 11:31:07 am 553 kbps 69 kB/s Hughes 1.4 MB 27082781503639 US qAFmq7CAv 12/13/21 11:30:25 am 564 kbps 71 kB/s Hughes 1.2 MB 169226331939 US M45apHb1T 12/13/21 11:29:35 am 554 kbps 69 kB/s Hughes 1.2 MB 169226331939 US QpYjpvtiO 12/13/21 11:28:22 am 766 kbps 96 kB/s Hughes 1.2 MB 169226331939 US sCWfP~Lcq

No, I was denied posting a problem- the red banner- choose a label , using Firefox I couldn't, Chrome yes, how I posted. I don't know if Firefox is the problem with my connection problem, I will try it for today, as much as I don't want to, no tracking with Firefox, Chrome, does. I try to avoid Google in all things if possible, Goggle is big brother, along with Mr Bill Gates.,. I noticed my testmytest speeds were much greater with Chrome compared to Firefox. We'll see. Thanks

I didn't try that. I will. I also noticed to post here (be able to choose a label) I had to use Chrome browser, Firefox does not work to chose a label to be able to post. In using Chrome to use testmytest, my speeds were under 6mps. These tests were from Dallas , not SF.

In trying testmytest for speeds just now, I kept being disconnected. I did get some tests done, now I can't The error- Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to dallas.testmy.net. The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem. Learn more… At the same time, other sites loaded quickly. I also was having connection problems, having to restart the connection clicking Hug2g5758 to get a connection again. 3x using testmytest I got the error message. The speeds were all over the place, some at 1mps, many below 1mps, and a outlier- 12.3mps . I had a connection with some sites before, it took a week to resolve that. It appears the problem has returned. Whatever worked last time might be reviewed and looked into? We are having weather today, but it doesn't affect many sites loading, just testmytest so far as far as I can tell. Thanks

Thanks Liz , I will keep this post and page on changing the wifi settings. I did find the page ,but was stopped by the administration login , now I have the password. I still maintain, no problem until recently. Both Dells worked well for many months until now. Using Linux Mint 20 also , I know Mint functions well with older computers, one reason I use Linux. Thanks for your help and suggestions as always, you're the bestest! :)

Thanks Liz :) I only started having the connectivity problem in the 2 weeks. I have been using these computers for months before with no problems. Something has changed. I had problems a few months before as did some others in my beam. The problem was on your side. I'm inclined to think this is the case again, as it only recently began.. I have used old Dells with no problems. I did upgrade to newer versions,they worked well until only 2 weeks ago. I hope this can be resolved. Thanks
