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 😛

The folks who get on here would have to also follow the same protocol if they want the engineers to address the speed issue. @Danny89 wrote: 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 Well, that leads to a horrible issue...if I download 25 MEGABYTES while going at 3k/Bs, thats going to take multiple hours, and more than likely will time out or fail. 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

Danny89 · ‎12-19-2021

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 😛

Danny89 · ‎12-18-2021

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.

Danny89 · ‎12-17-2021

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

Danny89 · ‎12-17-2021

The Bonus Zone seems to sometimes follow being on FAP and gives you slow speeds, but faster than if you were on the full throttle between 8 and 2 I wish I had me some 8mbps right now, im going at 44kbps(5kB/s) which is what I used to get on dial up. As for other alternatives and costs, that company owned by the space man is offering it at 99$ a month, but you have to buy the dish for about 500$ and install it yourself. Its a bigger up front cost, but with traditional satellite, you get locked into plans for years to pay for the installation. So it equals the same about im sure. So the biggest financial issue is getting someone to set it up for you if youre unable too While I also love Hughes, I have greater internet needs than can be provided, and right this minute im paying 140$ a month something that runs pretty fast, or becomes Space Dial Up. Im not able to get on bloody Facebook, I can barely load Wikipedia, and dont even think about running youtube videos in 180p on DIAL UP. They really messed up not having the EchoStar XXIV built and launched in 2020-2021 like what was originally planned. Corporate let Space Man build and space-fling over 2000 little fast internet satellites, and ive seen videos of people building satellites, they wear bio-suits most of the time. The Pandemic was not an excuse for that! Awful move, I want to buy some Hughes stock so I can yell at the board about this. I feel like they just surrendered to Mars Colony Man

Danny89 · ‎12-17-2021

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

Danny89 · ‎12-16-2021

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?

Danny89 · ‎12-16-2021

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

Danny89 · ‎12-16-2021

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

Danny89 · ‎12-16-2021

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?

Danny89 · ‎12-16-2021

Hey, im on throttle except for my Bonus Zone(currently 11GB). Im getting speeds as low as 13kB/s according to TestMy. I havent done a battery of tests yet though. But ive noticed that on the System Status page it says that Web Acceleration is not supported, and nothing happens if I click Reset MBX or disable Web Acceleration under the Advanced options. Im barely able to get Facebook to load, and it took about 15 minutes for me to get to the message page here. Im going to assume that this is similar to last time(a few months ago) that this is to do with me being on throttle, and that there is still severe overload on my beam, and of course, there has been devastating natural disasters recently that may play some part in this. But I wanted to bring it up for the engineers to note, and that there is this new Web Acceleration issue Here is my link, im going to begin a battery of tests now. I just realized that I did the tests without being signed in, so that the earlier ones arent saved. But I was averaging speeds of 25kB/s with a couple being a slow as 13kB/s, downloading a manual download of 1MB https://testmy.net/quickstats/DanKaiser

Danny89 · ‎08-25-2021

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

Danny89 · ‎08-21-2021

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

Danny89 · ‎08-19-2021

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

Danny89 · ‎08-18-2021

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

Danny89 · ‎08-16-2021

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!

Danny89 · ‎08-16-2021

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!

Danny89 · ‎08-16-2021

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....

Danny89 · ‎08-16-2021

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

Danny89 · ‎08-16-2021

Can't be the weather, thats already gone and there was no storms when this started last week. Right now my state code is 24.1.1 Download Throttled. Satellite recieve strength is 105

Danny89 · ‎08-16-2021

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!

Danny89 · ‎08-14-2021

As of now, my speeds are normal, that started at 6AM My state code was either FAP Condition or Fully Operational, the whole time. Its been 0.0.0 Fully Operational since 2AM, even when I was unable to load a webpage, and if I attempted to download my game from Steam, it would hold at less than 20KBs(At 6AM when it came back to normal speeds, it went up to 900kbs and even peaked at 2.5MBs!) I'll post the speeds from TestMy if the problem starts again. Hopefully it won't, but it did this yesterday where in the morning it suddenly fixed itself..and then by night it was extremely slow to the point of not being usable, which is what makes me think theres some other issue. Oh, and I checked further devices, and they all reported the extremely slow speeds during the...slow time Im having flashbacks to when i was on dial up Edit: Getting some baseline from TestMy if needed!

Danny89 · ‎08-14-2021

Since the morning of August 11th, ive been having severe speed issues. I barely get more than 20kbs when downloading, im having a lot of trouble loading anything on Facebook, cant use Youtube, so forth for so on. The last speed test ive done using the speed test on this site says my download speed was 0.35, and upload was 2.36. Im out of data in the day time, but ive still got about 3GB of night time data, as in, as I post this. I was barely able to get to this website Ive rebooted my modem several times from the control panel, and ive unplugged it, let it sit for 10 minutes, and replugged. No improvement. My signal strength is 105 as I post this, there are no weather issues in my area, and my modem is looking perfectly fine, as in, no strange lights or anything Furthermore, on the morning of the 13th after about 10AM, it picked up speed and ran at normal speeds. Having the same issues on another computer thats directly plugged into the modem. I havent tried using other online devices to check it though! So is there maintence or issues at Hughes? Thanks for your time! Hope this can be fixed, this is barely better than dial up right now Edit: https://testmy.net/quickstats/DanKaiser Heres my speed stats, im doing further testing! At this point, as suggested, ive stopped doing the testing since im in FAP condition, and with the 25MB size, its not even downloading. Speeds are at 40kB/s, and theres a lot of issues connecting. Still no obvious issues with my modem, and the speeds are the same using wifi or a wired ethernet connection, and ive tested on multiple devices and multiple browsers. The issue started sometime last week, and was fairly transitory, but became worse. On Saturday morning, when I made this topic, it fixed itself until 4AM Monday morning, after a storm rolled through. My current state code as of this edit is 24.1.1, but I had data during the beginning of the slowness issues so that should not be the issue. Hope we get some investigation going soon!

Danny89 · ‎08-25-2019

I can get the tuning lever site to load, but the turqoise site gives me a "site cannot be reached" error with the described error being "err_connection_reset" so it may not be on HughesNet's end Try using a different browser. I use Chrome, and possibly the turqioise site is completely down or having some difficulties! If those dont work, try resetting cookies

Danny89 · ‎08-18-2019

Thats good that its just some glitch, was annoying since I typed out a long message and post on some of my gaming adventures But yeah, I believed RockStar Games had HughesNet or at least the IP range I was using, blocked. In the future, I think if any HughesNet people have problems activating or playing a game online and it works on VPN...its something more on their end I bet. Oddly, GTA: Online was rather playable for me, only problem was big player related shootouts, but one on one combat, driving, and the different mini-games or whatever you call them, were all functioning. ESPECIALLY the flying ones, im not sure why anything involving flying works so good on satellite Another fun game to play on satellite is World War Z. It plays wonderfully in Co-op(No drag on my end, and other players didnt notice any problem), AND in versus mode...on PlayStation 4 at least, it seems to favour those with high latency so I ended up defeating other players AFTER they had killed me. Which is just hilarious. But it was still even enough that it wasnt unplayable or a clear nasty exploit The Battlefield and Battlefront games are nearly completely unplayable though. Only Starfighter battles in Battlefront 2(2017) is playable. The game Don't Starve Together is also unplayable due to latency. Sadly I got some right chunky latency playing Rise of Nations, and Age of Mythology. But the Age of Empires games all work great

Danny89 · ‎08-18-2019

Anyone else play a lot of games on Hughes? I do really good with RTS games, World of Warcraft, and oddly enough, Left 4 Dead 2 works great, as does my beloved Fallout 76. The only games I had trouble with were the EA shooter games, and Grand Theft Auto V. With GTAV, I was never able to connect except through a VPN. Interestingly, after I did everything they tried, including calling HughesNet, I suggested rather bluntly that they must have banned HughesNet IP addresses. I ended up being able to play almost immiediently after, and recieved an email from someone there outside of tech support that apologized for the troubles Finally, this is a weird one, but when I make longer messages on here, I get them "**bleep**", since I was telling a longer version of that story. Why is that? Edit: Im also unable to choose any other label. Hope this isnt a problem to post or anything

Danny89 · ‎08-18-2019

Eh, count your blessings, I was on DIAL UP until I got HughesNet. Lately ive been in rough shape for speeds, dont know whats wrong But before that, it was amazing. I was able to download stuff even on throttle near 1mbps, and watch fairly high quality video Even with these horrifically slow speeds, its better than dial up. If youre on Hughes youre probably a rural person, and its the best we'll get except for if Elon Musk really gets that SpaceX stuff going Anyway my advice, just watch stuff at lower quality. 480p is standard television quality, and I can stream that on Youtube right now without problem. In fact, I sign into my buddy's Amazon Prime to watch movies, and I can watch on their good quality with a little bit of buffering(like 10 second every 5 minutes) and my download speed is currently 26k on Steam for a game download. Ive also never seen a website failed to connect message. Im thinking you should probably reboot your modem, and call techsupport again. Could be your dish or modem is messed up bad and needs to both be replaced or reaimed
