Since changing from ViaSat 12mbs to HughesNet 25mbs my downloads have gone from average of 6mbs to about 1mbs even though the testmy.net or HughesNet test show good. Well this early 4AM testing did show only a .06mbs upload speed. Most of my downloads are for Nvidia updates (average about 660kbs download), Windows updates (which I start early during the free zone so hopefully I can finish before I leave for work). And my last android phone software update of 213.16 mb that requires connecting to WiFi took over an hour each for mine and my wife's phones. Which that was better than the previous 512mb phone update that was done in about 7 hours last time. Plus my geo location reporting is in Kansas, even though I am in Michigan and this causes conflicts with certain websites that need to verify I am in this state for the MI Lottery website. I haven't had this poor of service since the old Frontier 3mbs dsl line, which actually did perform better most of the time when the phone line didn't have a break in it. Each time I call in the general speed tests show just fine and nothing can be done about it so I am at a loss and may have to kick Hughes Net out and bring ViaSat back. Which they did have a similar problem and replaced the WiFi router even though I recall it may have been something on there end with the engineering level support and possibly was related to the geo location issue initially. If anyone has any insight or program that might analysis what is going on better with my system other than these general downloading test site, it would be appreciated as I really would like to work with Hughes to fix the problem instead of going back to ViaSat.
