Tech Support Called About My Speed
I received 2 calls yesterday, one from service, one from tech support. The first call was a reiteration of the FAP policy. The second call from tech support was the same. The Rep said all was fine and I was in FAP, so nothing is wrong. I explained the very low speed problem; so low that testmytest.com cannot perform tests.Yesterday afternoon at 2 :00 Pm my speed in the one test that did work was 120 Kps. In my past evenings I had speeds as low, almost in the 215Kps range. I have had great speeds for years since the last problem I had, usually about 1 Mps , which works well for us, during FAP, which for us is almost the entire month. Since this is a new problem, I thought there was a problem, something definitely has changed, but I am told no, you're in FAP. Some mornings even during the bonus period I had under 1Mps, I would restart the modem, and see 12Mps or better. This seems to be something wrong. So now I am left with dial-up speed and less, and have to live with it, or change plans. I don't need high speed, just a usable 1 Mps . I am told this is not possible. What happened to my great Hughes service?3.1KViews1like6CommentsSlow speeds
I just got off the phone with tech support and had a very unsatisfactory call. The rep was telling me she was showing download speeds to my modem of 40+Mbps, while the testmy.net speeds for me were less than 2 Mbps. My test results can be seen athttps://testmy.net/quickstats/trpost The best results were from the upload speed test the rep had me perform. The 5/5 tests around 2pm were done via wifi, with only my computer attached to the network (as requested by the rep). All other tests were done with wifi turned off and my computer connected via ethernet cable. If the link from the modem to the satellite is performing at spec, what could be causing the slow speeds from the modem to the computer? I started a test using a different, much older computer, but abandoned it when it was obvious that the speed was just as slow. I also ran the test using my phone, andgot 723 kbps results at https://testmy.net/db/6f43bN8cU, I do not think the problem is in any of my devices. I don't know what else I can do. The service ran great the first few weeks. I was gone 10 days, and then everything slowed down. I noticed that for the first week or so after my install my allowance was being reset on a regular basis. I only used the service for a few days after that before being gone, don't know if that could have something to do with it.Solved6.6KViews1like8Comments
