Re: Slow speeds during peak hours
I think we have got off topic here. From what I understand from reading here the internet service during peak hours is slower because everyone is using it. I accept this. Back to my original question if hughes.net gets more customers wont that cause more congestion and slower speeds?6.6KViews0likes2CommentsRe: Slow speeds during peak hours
"The speed of the tests look like they should be enough to stream, but looking at the individualtest variance graphs show what appears to be congestion." "As Gabe mentioned, to get a better understanding of where your speeds are averaging during non-peak hours, different test at different times of the day can help us determine if it's due to congestion or another underlying cause." Are these answers not telling me I have slow speeds because of congestion during peak hours!? Please explain to me how this works then!6.7KViews0likes3CommentsSlow speeds during peak hours
So I have been seeing a lot of commercials for hughes net lately. 2 thoughts on these. 1, its a shame they are lying. 2, apparently my internet is ridicuously slow because I use it during peak hours. If they keep signing up new customers isn't my internet going to keep getting even slower?6.8KViews0likes10CommentsRe: Can't stream due to constant buffering
Well I guess thats the way it really is then. I feel like I was lied to when purchasing this service. I dont want to watch netflix on a laptop, thats why I have a big screen tv. I think the sales people should probably explain that this service isnt meant for streaming and your speeds will be poor during peak hours because everyone is using it. Unfortunately I am in a position where I dont have a choice for providers but if I did and were shopping around I would have liked to had this info before purchasing. I also would like to point out I apparently used all my data for the month and now am in FAP mode? I was told as a single user in my household I should have plenty of data on this plan. The funny thing is in FAP mode my internet actually works about the same at night!25KViews6likes0CommentsCan't stream due to constant buffering
I am a new customer and since day 1 I have not been able to stream videos. When I purchased the service my customer rep said her and her whole family steam videos constantly with no issue. I use Hulu and Netflix on a firestick or a Roku. If I can get a video to run without buffering the picture is so blurry I can't really see what's going on anyway? I have the same issue if trying to watch youtube on my pc which is connected directly to my modem. I have the video data saver turned off and am nowhere near running out of my set data limits. The streaming actually works a little better in the mornings and early afternoons but becomes quite poor in the evening (when Im home from work and would actually like to use my internet). Are there and settings or tricks I can try? I just want to watch a video clearly and without buffering!?Solved25KViews1like3Comments
