Re: Ex-WB/Exede12 user's first impressions with Hughesnet Gen4 said by TexasRebel:is anyone else seeing wild speed variations? I've seen 6Mbps on the upload and 8Mbps on the download.
I've only been using Gen 4 for two days. My speeds have been fairly consistent so far. I'm getting around 10 Mbps down and .8 Mbps up (with more variability in the upload speed).
What are you using to measure your speeds? With testmy.net and speedtest.net, I've never gotten an upload speed much faster than .8 Mbps. Using HughesNet's Java based speed test, I usually get the 1 Mbps upload advertised on my "Power Plus" plan. |

| if you have an iPhone or an iPad, get the free Speedtest.net App from the App center. Run it and see what you get. Since neither device supports Adobe Flash, that cuts out any problems you might see from Speedtest.net using a PC.
I consistently saw 18-20Mbps down with the app when I had Exede12 and 3-4.5Mbps up.
I think it has something to do with how Hughesnet has their web acceleration servers setup, unless they don't have the available bandwidth in place at the gateways... |
