However none of that explains why since Christmas 2021 my speeds have been rivaled by smoke signals. Then miraculously when I ask HughesNet Tech people for help my speeds exceed what I m contracted for. I am not complaining, I am saying Thank You for whatever it is they did. And Thank You to people like you who took the time to answer and educate a little. I just hope this miracle holds up. I hate wasting all my allotted data like I have this month on repeated reloads of my web Browser, Computer and Modem. Only to end up using my grandsons cell phone just to read my emails. Be Safe Re: Speeds worst ever I don't understand how after months of super slow speeds, tonight's was .05 Mbps. Then after posting this I cam back 1 in the morning. It was an off the chart 47.87 Mbps. How is this possible ? Someone flip a magic switch ? If so, Thank You ! I have not had a speed like that in my 16 years with HughesNet. I realize it will not stay that high, but it has me puzzled. Even an hour later it is still 37.73 Mbps. Re: Speeds worst ever No, I have about half of my 20, but I spend all my time reloading only to have web pages time out. That is where most of my data goes. I tried something earlier after reading another post. A gentlemen said he had moderate success after rebooting his modem every day. I tried that and thou not perfect it only took me about 15 minutes of fighting to load this page and write the response. Could I have a bad Modem ? Or something that screws it up every day ? BTW Thank You for your response, at least someone cares Speeds worst ever Please help, since being forced to upgrade to Gen 5 just before Christmas my speeds have been the worst in 16 years. In the last month they have been so bad it takes hours to load. It took an hour of trying to just do this. I have run MyTest numerous times and 9 out of 10 times it times out. It really does not matter what time of day. No other devices, I followed the instructions to the letter https://testmy.net/quickstats/Gary%20Coker SolvedRe: Rotten UpgradeNot removing and clearly leaving it and all the parts scattered in my drive way, knowing I am in a wheelchair is another storyRotten UpgradeI was upgraded to Gen5 this morning, even though I didn't want it. Installer shows up, no mask, I ask please put one. "I don't have one one " "That's ok I have some disposables here". Talk about an attitude from then on. Does the hardware outside, comes in with the new modem, not a word. Goes back to the truck for 20 minutes. Then Drives off without a word and leaves the old dish and hardware all over my driveway. I am not a computer guru, so it took me about an hour to figure out what was what to connect. Is this typical of Installers for Hughes ? Does Hughes even care ? Would you you like your 30 pound paper weight back ? Please hurry Starlink !Re: Forced to Upgrade We live in the mountains, there is no one else genius Forced to Upgrade SO after 14 years with our contract we are told that on 1 Dec 2021 if we do not upgrade to Gen5 we will lose our service. Great business plan guys, more money for less dta and less service, and locked into a new 24 month contract.....Not gonna happen ! .....Starlink hurry up !
