2 edits | [HN9000] Comparison Test - HughesNet 1.5/256 | Versus | Exede 12 I will be performing and posting HughesNet Speed test over the next several days. The plan I have currently from Hughes is the 1.5mbps/128kbps HN9000 system. The test will be performed using testmy.net as most say is more reliable.
Based on all of the newest available satellite options now being exposed, it seems Exede is offering the best value. Will they deliver? based on Wildblue's past history, I'm not going to bet on it.
The plan if I decide to purchase will be the 15GB Exede 12 Package. I will revisit this post and begin posting speed test at random times during the day and at night to compare the old hughes system to the new Exede 12.
Keeping fingers crossed..... |

Using smaller test sizes may skew the results...use at least 12 Mbyte for download test, and 2.9 Mbyte for upload.
For a download test, I use the 1 Mbyte test size first, then Testmy rejects that size, and flips it up to around 12 Mbyte.
Of course, the larger the test size, the better the evaluation. Here is one on Exede 5 around 11 PM CDT.
36.6 MB test size

4 edits | I'm letting the Testmy.net choose the settings...Are you saying over-ride the default settings to let's say 12MB or 36MB?
Searching for it .....All I have found is where you can do this on automatic speed test in intervals but I don't care for burning up my bandwidth doing automatic speed test all during the day.
But I do understand what you are saying.
The more I view some of the Exede speed test, I really don't see much difference in my old HughesNet data plan other than the upload. Besides all this marketing crap about 12MB down 15MB down is they are calculating the bits differently now! So in other words I would say you basically have a 1.5MB download package or so in old marketing terms.....There just calculating the bits differently now....... Marketing BS.
I think most of the speed test which have been posted online currently are before they begun enforcing the bandwidth speed cap. So it would be very interesting to see some Exede 12 speed test after the bandwidth speed cap. Until than I will continue to question if there are any truly significant speed improvements with these new plans offered by Exede and Hughes. |

| For downloads only....Choose 1 Mbyte test size...Testmy should reject it, and then it will choose a larger test size, usually 12 Mybtes.
I've done larger tests manually...and some with Testmy flipping it up there. |
|
| K, I will try and force 12MB on the download test and 1MB or so on the upload test from here on forward. |

Anyone having an Exede 12 Satellite connection, post your numbers please......Lets see what you got!
Keep in mind I'm on HughesNets old Satellite plan.... 1.5mbps/128kbps |

Two speed runs on Exede 5, which show how speed results can change within a minute or so.
Also, bear in mind that with Exede, your top speed will run around 18 mbps. Best test method is via sustained download of some larger file.
Around 8:22 AM CDT: Exede 5

| The Hughes proxy can be by-passed, I have had to do it to actually get near my normal speeds. |

Re: [HN9000] Comparison Test - HughesNet 1.5/256 | Versus | Exed For probably about a year, Hughes has been experimenting with different compression algorithms, and different Hughes gateways are likely using different algorithms. While testmy.net is generally one of the best speed test sites, if testmy.net is not correctly reading/detecting the compression algorithms being used on your gateway, the results are meaningless even though, for others assigned to different gateways using a different algorithm, the results might well be quite accurate. |

Re: [HN9000] Comparison Test - HughesNet 1.5/256 | Versus | Exed Hi!
I don't get it.
I just did a test 2 min. ago and these are my results:
Your Speed :: 1.7 Mbps
21% faster than Your average1.4 Mbps
73% slower than your Host average 6.5 Mbps
I did have a 2.6 earlier today, which is very rare indeed.
How/why had the host average speeds gone up so high?
I do recall that recently they were much much lower - higher than my speeds and lower than what is now posted.
That being said, you are speed tests are 400% of 500% higher than that (host average speed)!!
How is that even possible?
I feel like I am struggling in the dark ages, by comparison!!!
I have the HS 7000 modem
Please explain. I am anxious to know.
I, like you, and trying to decide if you Exede 12 would be a positive move.
Best regards,
Ben |

Dawson Springs, KY | said by Benj :How/why had the host average speeds gone up so high?
It's because all TestMy reads your IP address and figures out who the provider (host) is. All results through individual hosts are added to the host historical record, from which the host average is derived. So all these bogus double digit test results conducted by the OP - and other Hughes customers who foolishly believe them - are getting factored into the HughesNet average speed data. As a result, the HughesNet host average on that site is hopelessly skewed.
Best advice I can give (repeat actually) is that HughesNet subscribers test exclusively at »consumer.performancetests.hughesnet.com/
