Not sure how an HT1100 will be capable of Gen5 service since it doesn't meet the requirements of having Wifi, and has never had decent upload...  Takes a small miracle for an HT1100 to hit 25Mbps as well, usually only see that during the off hours. Take note of the advertisements and everything Gen5 related, they FREQUENTLY mention the HT2000w Wifi as being a core component of Gen5 service. I also don't think the HT1100 has the processing power needed for the QoS the HT2000w uses to throttle video traffic when the video data saver is enabled. ... View more

bkeeper1, Not sure what Hughesnet can do, the Ultra plan no longer exists, and Jupiter One is "at capacity", which mostly means that it has been oversold.  The only thing you can do is wait things out and hope enough people on your beam/gateway assignment decide to jump to Jupiter II, or wait to see if Hughes offers Ultra like plans on Jupiter II.   In our consumer business, we ended Q4 with 1,036,000 subs compared to 1,018,000 subs at the end of Q3 and 1,035,000 subs at the end of Q4 last year. As you know, Echo 17 continues to be at capacity in many beams that's constraining growth in the North American subscriber base.

Once load on ES17 is reduced and some thrown onto ES19, Gen5 users should expect the same performance on either bird, AFAIK, all Gen5 plans REQUIRE the HT2000w regardless of bird.  Upto mods to state if that is a fact though, I suspect that "Jupiter II Technology" directly references the HT2000w, seeing as it is usable on both birds. ...

Latency is pretty good IMO lower than Jupiter One when it launched... It will go up as time goes on and load is increased on the gateways and bird. Jupiter Two Latency Jupiter One Latency ... View more

Just curious... For the ones having 12.7.1 come up, are you uploading anything at all when this happens?  Posting a picture to facebook or sharing things with friends on messenger, or anything that would result in data being uploaded in a decent quantity? ... View more

The dish and radio are reused from Gen4 to Gen5... If you are placed on Jupiter II they will repoint the Gen4 dish to Jupiter II instead of Jupiter 1 ... View more

Hughesnet has pretty much stopped all Gen4 activity it appears... From new installs to plan changes. ... View more

1: Gen4 on J1... Sucks compared to #3, but, if you had Ultra, you can't get any better... 2: Gen5 on J1... Still going to have slow speed issues till the load on J1 is reduced and more people switch to the HT2000w on J1. 3: Gen5 on J2... AMAZING~!!! Granted, that's because this is a brand new bird and it's going to take awhile to be fully loaded...  The *only* cons with going to Gen5 on Jupiter Two is the lease fee is $5 more per month, and the router is an all new design which means it probably has a few growing pains.  This is the first time Hughes has really pushed for a router/modem combo unit.  Plus, the OLD Gen4 Ultra beats anything Gen5 can offer, data allowance wise. The pros with going to Gen5 on Jupiter Two, better speeds - for now.  I suspect the mid-west where Jupiter One isn't available will be fully loaded much sooner than the areas where J1 and J2 can tag-team.  You do get much higher speeds, and MUCH higher uploads for once!  Hughes has been working hard on the router firmware in the HT2000W as well.  We can change DNS settings, DHCP settings, modify the wifi settings or even disable wifi completely.  They have even made it possible to change the LAN side IP addressing.  It is an almost, full fledged router.  They also include basic parental controls and website filtering options with in the modem, as well as time tables to block websites at certain times.  So don't want kids or anyone hitting youtube at 6PM till 8PM for homework time?  You can bet ya!  Kids also wont be able to easily change that as you can password protect the router side of the unit. As far as plans go though... I can't really help you there... All the new Gen5 plans have the same Upto speeds, the ONLY differences are data allowances.  If budget is a concern I would probably stick with the plan that is closest in price.  If budget wasn't too much of a concern, and you really could use a lot more data, maybe consider a higher tier plan?  Just because you order Gen5 on J2 and get into a new 2-year contract, doesn't mean you are locked to the plan you sign up with.  You can always change that should the need arise. EDIT//// Looking at things, if you are on the Prime plan with 10/50GB the plan appears to be $59.99, but there are no $59.99 plans on Gen5...  You might be able to go for the 20GB plan but that's $69.99/month it appears, plus the more expensive lease fee, the bright side is, it appears to be $49.99/month for the first 12 months, but I don't think anyone can get that promo price on an upgrade.  You may have to call to see about what is available as far as your options go... But to me it looks like, "Spend a little more to double your daytime allowance or save $5 and keep the same data allowance". EDIT/// ALL of that aside, I plan on doing a review of the unit sometime in next week and compare it to a Gen4 system in the review... For now you can see some on-going automated speedtests between my Gen4 and Gen5 systems, I used Identifiers on the tests to help show which is which, both units are being tested side by side, started the tests at the same time, but as is you can see how far out of sync they are because of how slow the Gen4 unit is.  Even this early in the day it's slow as can be for some reason. http://testmy.net/quickstats/C0RR0SIVE ...

Are you sure you was hung up on, on purpose, or is it possible the call was dropped? ... View more

You aren't on Gen5 currently, the Gen5 modem is backwards compatible with the older satellite and service plans. It sounds like you are on Jupiter One (Gen4) with a Gen4 service plan since Gen5 service plans offer upto 25Mbps and not 10Mbps. The reason they are interested in "sell sell sell" is because Jupiter One is overloaded and they are trying to get customers off that bird onto the new Jupiter Two bird. ... View more

The only way to have gotten complimentary tokens is to have been on a legacy Gen3 service plan, they do not exist otherwise. ... View more

I can't really answer the activation fees... I know the lease fee is higher since it's a wifi enabled modem ($5 more per month).  Home owners can easily install the HT2000W and get it registered if they currently have Jupiter One service with an HT1100/1000 and wish to stay on Jupiter One.  It's no more difficult than when the upgrade from the HT1000 to HT1100 occured. ...

Those tokens haven't really existed for a long, long time.  Gen3 (HN9000 Legacy plans) had the complimentary tokens, but the Gen4 launch mostly did away with that unless special circumstances arose to get a Gen3 user to switch to Gen4. Sorry to say, the complimentary tokens just don't exist anymore, the original intent was to reset the daily allowance once per month for free, but Hughes has since gone to a monthly refill and set token data to different amounts of data depending on purchase price. ...

I've seen people bursting upto 50Mbps quiet often, but that's on a bird that is brand new and has zero capacity issues so far.  I will be getting my install in about another 9 or so hours, can't wait 😄 ... View more

It is ready, but they are giving priority to those that are on Spaceway3(gen3) over Jupiter 1(Gen4) users.  Once they have a majority of the Spaceway3 users on Jupiter II, they will start letting Jupiter 1 users update to Jupiter II or Gen5 style plans I assume. It honestly makes sense why they are doing it this way, seeing as Jupiter 2 is more or less a Spaceway3 replacement due to age and the very limited capacity of the older bird. ... View more

The only time purchase sucks is when the warranty is up...  Dead equipment = costly, plus, if you need a truck roll that's even more cost. ... View more

Hughes will do what they have always done in regards to this I suspect, it will not extend, nor shorten your 2-year contract if you decide to later on go from lets say, the 10GB plan to the 30GB plan.  The only time the contract gets changed is when you have a new install/equipment put in. ...

Jezra... Look around a bit, doesn't take a mod to answer that...   †If you exceed your monthly plan data, you will experience reduced data speeds until that start of your next billing period. Reduced speeds may be as low as or lower than 1 Mbps and may cause Web sites to load more slowly or affect the performance of certain activities, such as video streaming or large downloads/uploads. Visit legal.HughesNet.com for network management details. That is on several order pages for Gen5... Gen5 Fair Access Policy states the speed can reach as low as 1Mbps or under, there is no hard-line minimum, but seems they will try to get 1Mbps as standard. http://legal.hughesnet.com/FairAccessPolicyGen5.cfm ...
