I dont think the number of days will effect it.....my speed was slow first evening after install, since then Hughes has added bandwidth but at times think the high number of people switching to the Ka band is affecting the speeds, and some beams may not experience the slow downs. Mine has been slowing to around 800k normally in the peak evening hours for a short time compared to the 1600k+ rest of the day. Uploads are solid 225-275k Currently would have to say much better the the Ku speeds.
