HN is overloading the beam, too many systems on 1 beam. My speedtest tell the story of how it just gets slower each month since the Gen5 Echostar XIX aka Jupiter 2 was put into service. I was truly tickled to be one of the first to get Gen5 and the speeds were awesome compared to the less than 1 Mbps I was getting. I have as of late been really upset with Hughes/ Echostar and I was really irritated New Years day, the day of the outage. I was dead in the water with no communications since I also have HN Voice, I was hot and it was 2° outside. Since that day my speeds have fallen back to where they were before GEN5 during peak hours and actually from around 4PM CST & past midnight. If someone had thrown water on me there would have been steam generated. I told them life is too short and I'm too d*mn old to be dealing with this and if you cannot get it right there will be no honoring any commitment and I would see them in court. They definitely are having some issues right now and are having to send techs out to change the polarization of the dish for lots of customers. My Gen5 will be a year old March 29, 2018 and my cost increases $30. Needless to say there's not much left of a $200 bill after that. I want what I pay for and if I cannot get it because they cannot provide it, It's not my fault, it's theirs. By the way, this is not my 1st rodeo with HN & I wish it were my last but I'm not going to hold my breath, too much jitter / middle variance yo-yo. Want a decent sped test result for download stay away from Dallas, I use NY. ~ SpaceHead, In The Cloud
