About Danny89

I want to note that with the idea of congestion, that from my experience, people are advised to try timing their downloads from the Bonus Zone, so I think thats why sometimes 2-8AM is a lot slower than it should be Keep us updated! Since youre having similar problems to what I have had, its very interesting! For me it only does this every few months, last time was in August Merry Christmas, and I hope you can get your game downloaded soon! I got the new Jurassic World game going myself! ... View more

Back to full data and its running properly! Since it started picking up during the throttle I'll assume that whatever needed to be done behind the scenes was done 😛 ... View more

In fact, while doing my testing, a lot of the time the 1MB tests would die halfway through. Thats why theres ones for half a megabyte showing up, I'd set those up after a failure Im running at more proper speeds now so I can do the test properly, but that gives the issue of...its running properly now, but I assume it sets a standard for what I consider "normal". Just did one and it came out to 350kB/s ... View more

Update for the day, its been slow but more tolerable, speeds between 20 and 50kB/s all night, but now for whatver reason its going at 350(even though im on full throttle now). So hopefully the beam overload has been placated some 2 Days 15 hours out from getting data refreshed! Just to make note again, that I fully understand and accept the FAP condition, but going down to 3k/bs is about as good as turning off my internet when I run out of data, which I only have 50GB of for about 140$ a month! So I want to document it to help the engineers, and folks that arent savvy enough to get here during one of these severe slowdowns, or dont have the patience I do(I was on dial up for 17 years, spending an hour clicking reload to get a single page to load up was normal. I did not see 1MBs until I was a grown man, you adopted the slow) As an educational moment, im curious, why are internet speeds now more measured by bits per second as opposed to bytes? It certainly makes things look more impressive, but as someone who was in the dial up days, everything ive ever downloaded shows me data in bytes, and of course all storage is still measured in bytes. Feels like some Metric vs Imperial stuff 😛 ... View more

That beam must be overloaded too! Be sure to run the speed tests from testmy.net and post the results, so that the tech folks can see the problem Im running at 20kB/s right now, actually able to game a little online. Im sure whoever ends up playing with me wont enjoy it though 😛 ... View more

Its following the same pattern as before, where it would run well after 7:40AM and until at least 1PM, then at some point it goes to dial up speeds. My first test of the night was at 6kB/s, then subsequent at 21k, using the testmy page so the results are there! Last test for 1MB showed as 8kB, but I think that was more because I was loading this at the same time Anyway I had an absolute heck of a time trying to get logged in here! Dont know what that was from, but if I dont respond, im probably in the dial up zone. Im at 3 Days 22 Hours until my data comes back for the month so I figure that'll solve the problem, but I want Hughes to be aware of the absolute severity of the situation here, since I dont think thats any of the intent or allowable tolerances of the throttle/FAP condition. ...

Hmmm, whats the symptoms of it being knocked out? Since you have been able to attempt troubleshooting without issue, and theyve been able to contact your hardware, that its somehow able to communicate. Do you have a computer hooked up to the modem directly, or use wifi? And do you have multiple devices you can use to try getting on the internet with? ... View more

What beam are you in? To find out, go to your system control center, and click system information. Im in 84, and we are under some severe overload here. Ive been getting speeds as low as 3kB/s. Anyway, the Web Acceleration thing has nothing to do with our slow speeds, according to Liz, Hughes is testing turning off web accelation since its become outdated as a technology. But based on what ive been told and my experience, our problem is some brutal overload and the FAP speed getting messed up real bad for it. Basically we need to wait for our data to roll over, or get tokens until they get everything balanced out again to run properly. I was even having the dial up speeds while I had the late night bonus zone running with 20% of my data left! Edit: The speeds have been so bad for me that I couldnt do anything online, not even get on Steam! But anyway to further help, go and make an account on testmy.net, then share the My Results page here to help. Properly they like for us to download 25MB as the manual download, but last time I had this issue the support folks were accepting anything. Ive been doing 1MB tests during these evil slow times. ... View more

Its in the topic post 😛 If I dont get a reply from support I'll make a new thread, but im sure they'll check it https://testmy.net/quickstats/DanKaiser Its running a little better right now but thats the pattern. Liz did note they cant promise speeds, but going down to 3 and 5 kB/s is just too much, that needs to be noted since thats...the same as literal dial up, causing very limited internet function Edit: Running great and proper, but thats the pattern, at about 7:40, after an entire night of dial up speeds, it'll go to good speed(that I have the data for), then level out to the regular FAP condition speeds I usually get(within 75-400kB/s), then at some point it changes to the horrible sub-50kb/s speeds that are unusable, and stays that way for hours, usually until 7:40AM. Obviously must correlated to someone(s) with a lot of data running wild in my area, but 5k/bs is just....horrific. Should still show a lot of those in the test results ... View more

Ive been having extreme issue getting on in the past two hours, my speed tests ive managed to launch read as 3kB/s and 5kB/s, which is dial up speed when youre surrounded by phonelines from the 1960s because this nation has absolute disregard for infastructure outside of cities(or infastructure for getting through areas without cities as quick as possible). Im unable to get on Facebook, get connected to my instant messaging service, and it took me an hour to get this loaded(it would load incorrectly and I would have to reload it) May I suggest finding some way of making a bottom out level for FAP condition? Like 50kB/s or something at the very worst? Glad to hear the web acceleration thing is just testing! I remember when the internet went all HTTPS when I was on dial up, that was some real **bleep** on earth Edit: Its almost an hour into the bonus zone, and I have had barely any improvement. I want to note that I currently have 20% of my bonus zone data, the system control center says that I am at state code 0.0.0 FULLY OPERATIONAL, 9.8 GB of Data left. But my last speed test just showed my speed for downloading, I believe, 512kb of data, as 5kB/s or 44 kbps(44000bps, which is what I'd connect to America Online at...). This is just brutal. Make corporate read this so they launch the EchoStar XXIV, even if they have to shame themselves and have Elon Musk launch it for them, good lord. I need to go outside and see if theres a 25,000 mile phoneline hanging out of the sky and see if its connected to my dish! THIS IS EXCEPTIONALLY BAD. I fully understand all the issues involved with the overload of the system, and that theres the fair access policy, but this is practically not having internet access at all, and if im getting this kind of speed, other people who are in FAP condition are likely getting this same kind of speed on my Beam ...

Yeah, im Beam 84. Im not sure what to think since as of right now, nothing I do that seems to be effected by web acceleration being down, is do anything wrong. But ive also been in a horrible throttle Definately something interesting, I wonder if there was a recent modem update? ... View more

Beam 84. On a strange note, it looks like the very end numbers of the IPGW number on the main system status page changed, but that might just be me never paying them any mind Edit: IN regards to my speed, its holding up great right now, but I expect the dial up speed to hit whenever other folks around me get online 😛 But wanna keep up with that, the brutality of this FAP condition alongside the "not supported" web acceleration could be correlated ...

Hopefully the Web Accelerator wont become Hughes' version of a McDonald's ice cream machine 😛 ... View more

Gen 5, according to my system information its using the Echostar-19-NAD. Ive never seen it do this before, it just has a no symbol next to it, along with not supported Edit: Im at 9.9GB of Bonus Zone Data left, and my speeds have increased based on my last test, but since I had a similar problem before, gotta bring it up, AND this new web acceleration one is utterly abnormal Edit 2: As of right now, even with Web Acceleration "not supported", it doesnt seem to be bothering anything on my end, and my speeds are running at what they generally are during FAP Condition, for now. When I had this issue in August it would do that for a little while(and did yesterday morning too) then it would dive into the barely above Dial Up speeds Also, according to the diagnostics under advanced, everything next to Web Acceleration(N), DNS Acceleration(N) and DNS Acceleration(I) is check marks saying its running properly. Maybe a glitch in the system information? ... View more

Check your programs to see if something is updating in the background! And while you have just the laptop attached, check the wifi settings to see if there are any devices connected by such, as in some device you dont know about. For example, the other month someone in my household started downloading a movie on the Dish Hopper box, and that gnawed up my data Since youre not losing any bonus data, it must be something thats active while youre at home and online. Welcome to the internet of things....things that like to eat internet 😛 ... View more

Oh god, I accepted a solution, and its solved, but I dont want to waste for another topic... I just noticed that my BONUS ZONE time has ended early, that my bonus time doesnt start again for 18 hours 7 minutes, at the time I saw it was 7:53AM Eastern Time Has there been a time change or was there a glitch? Not that its a big issue or anything, I just got weirded out by it after checking my data after doing a speed test ... View more

Not sure when it started running correctly, but its been running well since yesterday, and my data turns over at midnight so that should work fine! At this point with how its been going and what testing has been done, is it safe to assume that its not an issue with my equipment, or an issue with the entire Hughes system(communications with the satellite or something wrong at the ground station), and just that theres a heavy overload going on at certain times? Its absolutely brutal, but if there is an overload, thats all there is to it ... View more

Its been running well since Monday, but its just now(or within the last hour) started the slowness again, my download speed on the testing site went from 322kBs to 29kBs! I entered the FAP condition yesterday though, and before then it was running fast as the test shows, so I definately think this is something on the outside of my set up. But never know of course! Glad I'll have my full data back in the next day or two, but it was doing this crazy slow mess even when I still had data during the bonus zone time(and of course, during the bonus time!). Would this indicate an overload of people in the area? The only internet running devices right now are the Dish Hopper that shouldnt be doing anything, and that aforementioned printer, so I dont think I have a data leech hiding anywhere, and since it worked fine while I had the data token, it must not be anything to do with my modem or dish itself. Hopefully it'll resolve itself soon though! Edit: Just to note, on the last test that showed 29kB/s, I only did a 1MB download since the slowness hit, noticed that a forum was loading like it just woke up in 1994, gonna do some 3MB ones. Also nothing of note happened before it went back to the crazy slow. I was watching youtube videos in low quality this morning, but I wasnt at the computer or any internet device when the slowdown began. Also my state code is 24.1.1 Download Throttled ... View more

Glad to hear they are working on it! 😄 One thing I have a question about, or to make a statement on, wouldnt any exploiters need to be physically close to our modem in order to hack it, at least for residential users? That should be a great comfort for us if so 😛 Im pretty sure I'd have to make a huge wifi dish to broadcast my signal to my nearest neighbors! Obviously though, all security issues must be fixed since even if we are protected by the nature of geosynchronous satellite....some hacker could probably figure out how to exploit the exploit to exploit further exploits and start using our data to stream Amazon Prime at 9k USHD Mega and melt our modems down ... View more

When I was on DishNet for a short time before getting Hughes, I had a repair issue where my modem stopped communicating with the satellite, so I called them and they guided me through setting up the modem myself, wasnt very hard at all, just them reading to me the coordinates to give to the modem so it would communicate properly So try calling them about the issue and see if its something similar! ... View more

Thanks! I'll begin testing soon! Just got online That device is a printer on the far end of my house, shouldnt be of much trouble Edit: As of right now, with a short burst of tests at 25MB, its running perfectly fine. I'll keep it up over the night and morning to see if its ok! Edit 2: Its holding very good speeds while I have data. Need to keep a watch on it for a couple of days, but either the throttle was being very cruel to me compared to usual, or the Modem needed to be contacted. Hopefully it'll stay up and when I run out of the token data, run like it should when throttled normally. That ultra slow speed was very close to not having internet at all! ... View more

Yeah, everything is updated enough I believe, and since its a widespread issue I don't think the older computer's oldness is as much an issue... I just had it trying to do a 25MB test, and it ended up freezing up somewhere in the middle and not finishing at all. Ive checked all avenues for something hogging the data, but I don't think theres anything, and even if there was, this is...beyond the pale unless theyve implemented an Ultra-Throttle Hope to hear something from tech soon! ...

Im out of all data right now. The problem began on Wednesday or Thursday, and I didnt post about it until Saturday since I was hoping it would resolve itself I fully ran out of data, Bonus Data, on Saturday, after the speed issues ended I'll be out of data for 5 days. Ive thought of that, but ive checked everything that could be potentially eating that data, and theres nothing. I run a pretty simple ship with the internet of things! And beyond the speeds being slow, maxing at 40kBs(excuse my inconsistancy in typing that out), for whatever reason websites refuse to connect properly or load properly. Its some real dial up flashbacks. As noted in my original post, my modem isnt doing anything strange, no strange lights or blinking patterns, and my dish and dish eye look perfectly fine...from the ground at least. Due to that and the transience of the speed issue, I feel like theres something wrong at Hughes, or I got me a freeloader eating my internet somewhere.... ... View more

Oh, I know. Ive just never had a throttle so hard that it has literally made me incapable of using the internet. AND most importantly, I had data when the problem first began, I didn't run out of Data until later on Saturday https://testmy.net/quickstats/DanKaiser Obviously that mega speed test would be the one for when I still had data, and the problem had resolved itself for Saturday ...

Starting at 6AM on Saturday started acting right, but last night at 4AM(Monday morning) a storm came through, knocked out my internet for awhile of course, and when it came back its doing this extreme slow speeds Based on the three 12-25MB download tests ive done, speeds are at 40KBs which I believe is abnormal, and I can barely run any website while its acting up like this. Computer is directly plugged into the modem, WiFi is deactivated. Ive used multiple browsers on this computer, and ive tried another computer and a Nintendo Switch, all with the same results But obviously its a transient problem. Is there any information on the Beam still being heavily overloaded, or some other kind of issues? I'll edit with my speed tests in a few, its taking awhile but I wanted to have some time between them. I forgot about the special download speed, and over Saturday and Sunday I had done the standard tests. Further more, im on total throttle now, no data for regular times or the bonus zone, but I was in that state all of Sunday and it ran well, speeds on a download showing up as over 200KBs https://testmy.net/quickstats/DanKaiser Got the quickstats, I'll do a couple more download tests! ...
