Mtnfolk Posted February 3, 2007 CID Share Posted February 3, 2007 Hughes Net has finally got me so flustered with my speed during peak hours that I have switched from the DW4000 to HN7000S Pro Plan. You guys seem to be happy with it. What are your speed during peak hours? Of course upload has always been a joke. Any complains with the HN7000S.

granpa Posted February 3, 2007 CID Share Posted February 3, 2007 Private, I'm gathering these are your 7000S results. I am satisfied with my Hughes service and always have been since I fist used sat for internet in 1999 and especially now that I no longer have a phone line, literally. Almost everyday I run 2 or 3 spyware programs and I defrag at least twice a week which seems to help keep my test scores up. You can't control how many use the system but you can control how your PC runs. As for uploading what do you think it should be? Here are some of mine from myhughesnet but if the system is working I don't check, its just curiosity, besides, every time you test there many variables. February 3rd, 06:35AM - 924/190 kbps January 31st, 09:33AM - 895/181 kbps January 23rd, 08:46AM - 704/128 kbps January 23rd, 08:44AM - 746/77 kbps January 19th, 06:15AM - 925/194 kbps January 15th, 03:43PM - 471/81 kbps January 12th, 08:02AM - 834/172 kbps January 10th, 01:37PM - 875/125 kbps January 9th, 06:35PM - 411/14 kbps January 9th, 06:33PM - 319/14 kbps January 9th, 06:30PM - 480/27 kbps January 6th, 06:43PM - 559/42 kbps January 6th, 06:41PM - 701/76 kbps January 6th, 06:39PM - 109/158 kbps December 30th, 10:00PM - 717/117 kbps December 29th, 09:17AM - 734/184 kbps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you removed all previous software that was connected with the DW4000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostmaster Posted February 3, 2007 CID Share Posted February 3, 2007 Im pretty sure those were his DW4000 speeds. That is not uncommon, because they are trying to get rid of them. It's a sick way to do it, but thats Hughesnet for ya..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siryak Posted February 4, 2007 CID Share Posted February 4, 2007 Well if they have a protocol that is bogging down the system I could see why they would do that. The new HN700S is supposed to be more "efficient" is what I heard. How are the pings looking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtnfolk Posted February 4, 2007 Author CID Share Posted February 4, 2007 Yes that was my DW4000 speeds during peak times. I was getting 1 to 2 meg. before it changed to Hughes. I see where some of you are getting over 1 meg. download on the pro plan. That was one reason I switched. Also fed up with spending several hours on the phone with tech. support to get my freg. changed and then in two weeks have to do it all over again.. They finally worn me down. I have no other option, if I want internet access. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no other option, if I want internet access. Many are hanging on, why I don't really know. Many expensive items people own they don't even think about keeping, they just upgrade. An upgrade also gives you a warranty on the new part (only $50 for a modem) and for the ODU I'm still using mine from the original 4000 install about 6 years ago. I also did some cheap buying for new replacement parts, transmitter, LNB, and dish. I have spent more on one nights dinner for the family and after you eat we all know where it goes. And nobody buys new phones, cars, TV's and so on. I have a older tube type radio and the manufacturer won't give me any help. The most problems I see (the system works but it is not DSL) are a lacking install or poor PC maintenance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtnfolk Posted February 5, 2007 Author CID Share Posted February 5, 2007 This is the reason for switching from DW4000 to HN7000S Hope I get better speed from it than this.

Mtnfolk Posted February 10, 2007 Author CID Share Posted February 10, 2007 Made the switch to 7000 pro account, and this is all I get.

Still have same dish that came with my dw4000, no water in anlog. I had a reprsentive from Hughes transfer from my DW 4000 to HNS7000. So nothing wrong with switch over. India supports says check use proxiy server box and install book says uncheck? Which is correct? This sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fikester Posted February 10, 2007 CID Share Posted February 10, 2007 Not sure about the S model but my best performance is without using the proxy? ....easy enough to try it both ways. I would be very unhappy with those speeds at any rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siryak Posted February 10, 2007 CID Share Posted February 10, 2007 Isn't this peak time for Hughesnet though? I bet that will bounce back up to where it should be around midnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted February 10, 2007 CID Share Posted February 10, 2007 Isn't this peak time for Hughesnet though? I bet that will bounce back up to where it should be around midnight. I thought they were supposed to hold close to the speed during the day is what I heard from so many as to why they were so much better to have instead of the 4000 or 6000! I might as well stay with the 6000, and no extra cost. At least that is what I have heard so much of on here from others. That is horrible private, I get those speeds already.

Mtnfolk Posted February 10, 2007 Author CID Share Posted February 10, 2007 Yes I am still on satmex5 freq 970. I don't see how my spped could improve being on same bird and freq I understant most DW7000 are on SatMax6. Also I cannot use Firfox anymore get the message, The proxy server is refusing connections all the time. Anyone know a way around this. How can I change my signature?

Mine has not ever been bad. From what I hear from the Hughesnet users is if it ain't broke don't fix it. Because whenever you switch you are always risking either an improvement and then there is that "other" result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeddlar Posted April 18, 2007 CID Share Posted April 18, 2007 I just read this in another string so I figured I might add it here. Go into interntet options, connections, lan settings and get rid of the proxy settings there and click automaticly detect proxy.

Hughes paid for the service call. I have been talking with Excutive Customer Care trying to get slow speed resolved. They are great to work. I just had a big problem finding out who to contact.
