Re: New Gen 5 owner in Northern California (slow as molasses)
Just wanted to jump on the "slow as molasses" band wagon. I'm here in Kansas City, MO and have experienced excruciatingly slow speeds for at least the past two afternoons/evenings. I just performed speed tests through Hughes and several other providers. Here's the latest result on Hughes: 1.18 down, 0.09 up. It's completely unacceptable. I purchased the pricey service over a Sprint or AT&T hot spot, based on the 'revolutionary' increase in capability with the launch of Gen5. If only i would consistently get the advertised 25mbs down, and 3mbs up, i'd be a happy camper. Working from home, i have had to use my Sprint hot spot (on my iPhone) the past two night just to email a 4mb file. ARGH! I'll be anxious to see if the beam 55 adjustment tomorrow helps the speed here in the heartland......8.6KViews0likes52Comments
