44,000ms is worse than anything I have ever gotten but I don't have the patience to click and wait 3 minutes and click etc. I have to stop paying for wow until we have a better connection.Thanks for your response. Wish you better luck than I .lol ... View more

Yeah, neat tool it came out 502.38 when I entered the beam etc.  But when it was last working like thas was early last year, spring 2019. The photo's I posted I can't even get to load but if anyone can see them they show the latency I get 628ms immediatly going up continuously like within 5 seconds  2100, 3500, 6800,12000, 16000 I don't remember it getting above 16000 ms but the photo I uploaded today was 14368ms.  I don't think anyone else on Hughes.net is getting that kind of latency. Usually when it tops off at say 12000-16000ms it goes down to like 4000-8000ms. Those numbers don't allow for anything other than logging in and logging out. I am surprised I can even log in.  ...

Thanks for the quick feedback. Actually, I had typed an introduction to what I was posting to explain why I was posting it instead of just tossing the image out there and that part got cut off. I would have preferred being able to screen shot the post but could not find a way to get the entire text so I had copied and paste it  I  went back to blizzard tech support and recopied the original support ticket response just in case I omitted any technical info:    Yunasckah Hey there Layla, Technical Specialist Yunasckah here. I hope this message finds you doing well! After reviewing your ticket I see that you've been experiencing high latency when playing WoW for quite some time now. I certainly understand how irritating technical issues can be when you just want to enjoy your gaming time. Rest assured that we're going to do everything we can to get you taken care of! To begin, thank you kindly for taking the time to attach your WinMTR test data! After reviewing the data, we have identified an issue beginning just outside of your home network -- at the ISP's first "hop". The issues shown are latency spikes as well as packet loss. I've copied a portion of the WinMTR test below with more information: Hop 1: 192.168.42.1 - 1 | 465 | 463 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | Hop 2: host97726550.direcpc.com - 0 | 472 | 472 | 554 | 609 | *679* | 617 | Hop 3: host9772453.direcpc.com - *1* | 469 | 468 | 537 | 617 | *686* | 658 | The first column to the right of the IP / Host is the percentage of packets (or data) lost when being routed through that specific "hop". In this test we are seeing 1% data loss paired with latency spikes up to 686ms over the course of the first three hops. This can be summarized as general connection instability, and this is almost certain to be what is causing the problems in-game as any packet loss will cause fluctuating latency as well as periodic disconnects from the game or application that you are connecting to. With that in mind, this would be an issue to bring up to your ISP as they may need to troubleshoot that second "hop" and/or reroute your connection so that it avoids this problematic hop. Keep in mind that you can request to speak with a "level 2 or level 3 technician" when contacting the ISP, as the front-line representatives typically only have access to basic diagnostics and troubleshooting tools. In addition, I encourage forwarding the WinMTR data to whomever you speak with when contacting the ISP, because if they're able to interpret the data, this may enable them to diagnose and resolve the issue more quickly. While I do wish that I had an immediate solution, I sincerely hope that this information has provided further insight into the situation and helps get things fixed up so you can get back to playing as normal! Thank you again for your time and for giving me the opportunity to look into this for you, Layla. If there are ever any other questions or concerns that you have for us, please don't hesitate to let us know. In the meantime, I hope the rest of your day goes well, and nothing holds you back from having the absolutely epic experience you deserve! ... View more

The top part of my post was omitted somehow without me being aware of it. Needless to say I have been using Hughesnet since 2011 and have been playing wow (world of warcraft) with the expected latency on both gen 4 and gen 5 after upgrade. The latency was playable and between 400ms-1200ms depending on the time of day. But last year I had to suspend playing this game because I thought it was the game as they released a new update. However, after contacting blizzard tech support and giving them my winMTR results I was told by the tech that it was a hughesnet problem and my first post is part of his reply to my request for help.  ...

Hey , thanks for your feedback. I assume since he mentioned cb's that he may only be a CB operator I truly don't understand the jargon. I will try to learn though. I don't wish any ill will towards the guy just want to watch netflix in peace. lol ... View more

Oh yes! I did forget to mention that I had tried a couple of ferrite beads. I got  the idea surfing around and reading everything I can about RF. I used the wrong kind of ferrite core perhaps. I got the rings that are too big to fit the cord and the coaxial was too stiff to wrap around that cord. But I put it on the power cord and even the Ethernet unaware if it made any sense or not. I could not tell any difference at all. I got a smart meter cover for my power meter since I could not and still cannot use the 2.4ghz spectrum on my modem. The 5ghz has always worked until dark. I feel I need to start with my own hardware which is why I thought there might be some kind of filter that would solve the problem but would be too easy. Thanks again for the ideas and info. ...

Hi, I am surprised that I got any response so quickly. I can't prove that I am right and I don't 100% know that the interference is being done intentionally. I was using my the 5 ghz band of my wifi router and I had it "hidden" and when I would turn it on it would work great until right at dark every time. I was getting dns accleration errors and rtt errors along with association errors. So, I said I don't truly need wifi since everything I use has an ethernet port so I turned off wifi. My errors aren't as bad mostly rtt errors across every hour almost every day from like 5pm-11pm it really makes my internet sluggish and netflix continuously reloads until about 11pm-midnight. From midnight until 5am I have no problems. My neighbor comes home at 5ish(pm) and so that could be a cooincidence, however he has asked my husband multiple times if he was going to call the game warden on him even though we can't actually see onto his property at all. I really don't know how to take those questions. He asked me the only time I ever met him if I had cameras that linked back to my house. Well I have ADT wired and no wireless cameras. So the fact that these errors started when he moved in I suppose could also be a cooincidence. I am not interested in playing detective to spy on my neighbors but I don't know how to convince a stranger of that. I know nothing at all about cb's etc. My husband supsected radio intereference and instead of explaining our problem he told him he was interested in getting a cb setup either in our house or in his truck. That is when the guy offered up the information about using and I quote "I use a powerful amplifier they are illegal but the federal won't do nothing about it. I use Linear and bi-linear..." I don't know what any of that means but we assumed he was the culprit just because of his fear of the game warden. I certainly realize the reason people love and are interested in radio communications like Ham and cb's etc. I certainly have no desire to trash the operator's I would love to learn it myself. I think I would need to know how to use a spectrum analyzer or something like that to truly know what's going on. My husband didn't flat out ask the guy because he was afraid it would get worse... I will replace the line and have it sealed it's old and it has one line that goes into my modem from the dish but it has a line that goes to nothing that the guy just clipped the coaxial head off of and it could be picking up stray RF and amplifying the problem. I will start with trying to make certain my dish and everything is properly grounded etc. I really appreciate any feedback on this subject. Thanks! ... View more

Hey, not a ham operator but I do have a problem with someone skilled in radio... I use my hughes.net like most people pretty much have the laptop and blueray player going constantly streaming a movies etc. New guy moves in and is paranoid about someone spying on him. From the questions posed by this man he thinks when he picks up our wifi (hughes.net) that it's cameras looking at him. Long story short we don't have any cameras connected to our wifi. All we can figure he thinks someones trying to trap him poaching. But I stay busy in my own little world and don't worry about anything else until my wifi starts getting interrupted continuously. It's works great for a few minutes then my dog gets in the window and barks in the direction of this new neighbors house and my wifi gets jammed etc. He had mentioned that he uses an illegally overpowered amplifier and linear and bilinear ? I have no idea what that stuff means and I guess I will need to learn but my question to you or anyone who might want to help is : Is there a particular filter I can have put on my dish to prevent his interruptions? I mean he asked us once if we had wireless cameras linked back to our house and I told him truthfully NO. So I need to adjust my own enterainment system to keep him out. I am not going to try and prove myself to a rogue radio madman. This is my first experience with this sort of thing. Any help would we be greatly appreciated. I called hughes.net tech support and they said they have no filters and no nothing about it. ... View more
