@dfbeck wrote: So what is the purpose of being able to categorize email as spam? Though I don't use HughesNet's email for anything other than Community notifications, and only then because you can't use any other for such, categorizing items as Spam is basically to keep them separate from your normal email. That way, you don't have to sift through your inbox to weed out all of the junk, as it's already been done for you. Well, for the most part, anyway. And 100 - 125? WOW! I thought my 30 - 50 per day was a lot. Double that would be even more frustrating. And, unfortunately, many of my spam emails are identical, but from different addresses, and even domains. I've given up blocking them as blocking a domain doesn't even do much anymore. Basically, the advice I give to people is to use one email specifically for important things, like for sites where you pay bills or shop, and another for just about everything else. That way, the most important emails you get will be to an address that probably won't get a lot of junk. It's no doubt that you'll get some, but they won't be the type that you're probably getting a ton of now (the spam/scam garbage). Granted, this doesn't tend to last, as it seems like the spammers/scammers always get your email address, but it at least it works for a while. As for timing out, that shouldn't be happening. When I click the button after entering my credentials, my HughesNet email page takes a good bit to open as well, but it always eventually does. Hopefully the reps will have some idea as to what could be causing the problem, as with your service working well, the mail should too. One last thing is maybe trying something like Thunderbird, which is a 3rd party email client. You'd get your HughesNet email through that instead of having to always sign into the site, though you can still do the latter if you wish, of course. A lot of people use Thunderbird, and it seems to work very well. I did for a time, but I just didn't reinstall it after performing a clean install of Windows 10 last year, and with rarely using my HughesNet mail, I didn't see the need for it. Thunderbird would allow you to avoid the time out issue. That's not fixing the issue of course, but it's a workaround so you don't have to deal with it.

@dfbeck My average ping rate is usually somewhere in the 600s. Yours example is definitely high. Is it like that all the time? To be honest, I'm a little surprised that a Level 4 rep didn't know what the average ping rate is. With regular Level 1 reps I'd be shocked if more than one or two knows what ping even means, but with Level 4 I would think they'd know not only what it is, but what HughesNet customers see in general. Regarding nfw, or "no forwarding", it's supposed to keep the size at what you set for the minimum, as in it shouldn't upsize to something larger, but I just tried it, setting it to a size lower than what I know I need, and sure enough, it upsized to something larger. I don't understand why. If you aren't already, make sure to use the 15MB size for download and the 3MB size for upload. The upload shouldn't be a problem with size forwarding. The 15MB size for download is a size that doesn't forward, so it shouldn't do so, but still check the nfw box, just in case. The reps and engineers will also be okay with you using the 15MB size instead of the normal 12MB size requested, as they know when you have good speed the 12MB test size will forward to something larger, which can waste data, especially when it forwards to some ridiculous size. I always used 15MB for the download tests when I had Gen4, as my speeds approached 30Mbps. Using the 12MB size with speeds like that would have been futile. Still check that nfw box, though, when you use the 15MB size. In reality, you shouldn't need to, but I would do it anyway. I just tried the combined test with 15MB for download, 3MB for upload, and the nfw box checked, and it worked perfectly, with no upsizing. I only let it run for one test, though, then closed it, as I'm going to be shutting my computer down soon. Hopefully it will work for you and stop forwarding to a larger size while using those same parameters. My ping test to google.com.... Edit: The rep may have reset a few things in your modem, helping your speeds to improve. I hope it stays that way. 🙂

@dfbeck I'm glad I was able to help. I do hope that the response time of your HughesNet related pages improves a bit for you, though. 🙂

I'm afraid you may be correct, it's just something I have to live with. I'm leary about leaving pages open that use any cpu or memory resources, especially when using Photoshop or Youtube but it appears I don't have a choice. I don't know who posted this solution first but I'm giving it to you. I'll see if I can give one to GabeU also. Thanks for the advice.

FINALLY!! Yes, Corrosive's solution worked for me; I haven't had the meter for MONTHS now and contacting HughesNet several time was useless. They couldn't figue it out, but I did was Corrosive said to do and I finally have the meter back, many thanks.

@dfbeck Yes, your Token data is the next in line when you run out of Anytime Data during the 8AM to 2AM time period. But, if your Token data runs out you enter FAP, as Bonus Data is only used during the 2AM to 8AM time period. So, from 8AM to 2AM, it's Anytime, then Token, then FAP. And from 2AM to 8AM, it's Bonus, then Anytime (hence the name Anytime Data (now called Service Plan Data)), then Token, then FAP.

Did anyone happen to notice that there is no 10/28 on the Usage History? At least mine doesn't have that date. And with the curser over the dot on the graph for the 27th shows I've already used 750.7 mb. I never logged on from midnight to 2:00 am and the current time in 8:29am on 10/28. So after being logged on for 29 minutes it shows I've used 750.7 which is unusual for the amount of data used since during that 29 minutes I viewed two web pages with no graphics. Is there a moderator who can find out what happens with data when a full day is missing? Will it not refresh (reload) until 11/2? Will data used all show up on the 27th or the 29th? I promise I won't argue with you. Just looking for answers. I responded to a post that the problem I was addressing what fixed, Corrosive answered the question I asked but now I realize that may be misdirecting others to think the data tracking issue was resolved. So if you've arrived here anticipating some method of tracking your data real time, it hasn't been figured out totally yet.

It's not a big deal on the log, more curiousity than anything. I don't know if the log is responding to what I was seeing. The long wait times on uploads has disappeared for the most part. Glad to see they got your issue corrected. Hope it stays.

I used to be 1GB per day when I had Gen 4. Have not had Gen 5 long enough working 100% to check but hoping that is about the same for me. That way I can get through 15 to 20 days at full speed and then the remaining 15 to 10 at FAP but usable FAP I hope compared to my Gen 4 days. I look forward to seeing how my Gen 5 pans out for GBs per day. TJ

Thank you for the info. It saved me from a complete waste of time. I have an HT1100 with software 3.4.3.36. I've got to bite the bullet and move everything to my 64 bit machine. I appreciate it.
