upsurfer

Has anyone else noticed a more steady speed from Hughes? I'm consistently around 2000 all the time.

You go tommie...... I hope your retest is half as good. Making me want to melt down my dish for scrap.

How do the prices compare for the speeds you get???

I've forgotten my password for satspeed a couple of times. Everytime I asked to be reinstated, it happened that night. No problems with those guys here. I see the uploads are slow tonite. :::..

A little slow tonite. I have not cleaned in about a week or two. Trying to see what the speeds are like with a dirty computer. :::..

AWESOME Results... I believe these are faster than my fastest too!!! Way to go...

By something better, I mean DSL or something like that, not just another box. ::::::::::..

Hopefully it's sooner than later.................

My brother upgraded to the HN7000s with the Pro Plus package and was only bouncing around 550 - 700 on the speed tests. He even called Hughes to make sure everything has been switched to the Pro Plus package, but they assured him that he was running fine. After several months of unhappiness, I talked him into trying TCP Optimizer and than CableNut. I told him to give each a couple of days after he ran them. He didn't have much luck with TCP, although I know many have, but he had better luck with CableNut. Here is the file I sent him. Now he consistently runs around 1700 - 2100. I hear that tweaking does nothing for the 7000s, but when I remove the settings, I run like crap. When I reinstall them, I run much better. Maybe it's just dumb luck, but I'll take it.....

Well said...... Welcome to the forum
