Just experienced a "Software Cutover Reboot" and now the modem knows what year it is anyway. Maybe that will be the end of this crap.

Things do seem to be working now.

Tonight I got fapped again! WTF! It said download free time and then I noticed my internet was lagging so I checked and I'm fapped!

The Download time was starting at around 1:30 am here Eastern time the past week and ending around 9 am for some reason. Now I'm fapped at 2:30 am.

I despise you Hugesnet! You deserve all the negative feedback you get!

anon posted : The current free time appears to be random across all of us.

After resetting my HN9000 last weekend when the clock was stuck, I noticed the time and date reported by it were Jan 4, 2000 at just shy of 2AM. AT least now the clock was advancing. But it was reporting 2AM GMT. 5 hours or so later, when it would have been (according to my HN9000) 2AM Eastern, the download zone kicked in just as it should have. It has been this way ever since - approx 7am-2pm.

If my modem's time had been stuck in the free time and I knew this was going on, I'd have left it that way!

So basically your saying it starts kinda on normal time (2am) but only lasts an hour then its non free time again and another hour passes and its free time again (repeat)? Thats strange

It's been working right for the last couple of days, but tonight I noticed my allowance was decreasing while downloading when it says "Download Zone is currently active - downloads are unlimited during this time". Good thing I caught it in time before I got fapped. I'm getting tired of this.

NoraaC6 posted : So ... Things have changed some since the outage. My usage meter was staying at 100% with download speeds always under 20K.

Since yesterday My usage meter is "working" to the extent that it indicates a rapidly diminishing allowance even though download speeds are still always under 20K. Refills are now back on the 24hr schedule.

I have been FAPed twice since yesterday once during the 2am to 7am time period so while I have seen posts to indicate that had been fixed for some, evidently not here.

FAPed or not the download speeds are the same.

There is still no usage data for me on the Hughesnet site since the 23rd.

I went through a period of essentially unusable download speed every day between 8am & midnight a few years ago with the 7000 but since I upgraded to the HN9000 speeds have been fairly consistent.

This is 7 days in a row of practically useless Internet.

Has anyone heard anything to indicate that Hughes knows what is wrong or when it might be fixed ?

I suppose I should call India but I find that experience incredibly aggravating and never satisfactory.

$80 a month - What a deal :huh:

Have you tried disabling Turbopage? I find whenever Hughes is throttling me, that by disabling Turbopage, I get a HUGE increase in download speed.
[/BQUOTE :

Thanks for the tip - I will try it again when things get back to "normal".

Right now it didn't make any difference on my current download I stopped and restarted it and still do diff.

Tried starting a new download (All from TWIT network) but no better. No big surprise things are obviously screwed up on Hughes's end.

One interesting thing - When I re-enabled Turbo Page - (General web surfing seems to be near impossible without it) - now the green light in system control center is yellow - probably more appropriate for the current speeds I'm getting. (Download allowance NOT exceeded according to SCC.

(HN9000) My download allowance has been stuck on 100% since the outage no matter how much I download. However speeds are so slow that I can't download more than a hundred meg an hour. Time to refill is never more than a few hours.

I just checked my usage page and there is no data since 21:00 on 01/23. The modem thinks it's Jan 4, 2000.

Was like that for about 2 days for me, then started draining. And last night I got fapped during what should have been the free zone because the time is a few hours off.

Imma be a zombie by the time they fix it lol

Also none of my tokens have been used so far.

It seems pretty clear that these anomalies and others reported in this thread are side effects of what ever caused the outage.

It would be interesting to know whats going on but I won't hold my breath waiting for Hughesnet to tell us about it :)

Can't you get your crap together? If they have taken away the free time then I'm done with Hugesnet, I don't care if I have to break my contract. I mean the entire reason why I got the Hughesnet was the free time period.

How can they compete with Exede with this? I'll be switching as soon as I find out the time zone is gone, that they can count on.

anon posted : I had noticed that the date on my HN9000 jumped back to December 20 at somewhere around 9pm, the uptime said 50 minutes and did not budge.

This morning at 2AM my download zone did not kick in. I guessed it had something to do with the time being incorrect. So I rebooted it, and now it says it's about 2:30AM on Jan 4, 2000! But still no download zone.

The usage history page ends on 1/23.

Refills seem to be going normally as far as I can tell. Unfortunately I have to work for 6 more hours tonight and my scheduled refill is 7 hours away, so I can't really test out seeing what happens when I run out of allowance.

glenalth posted : All of this looks like a workaround for whatever killed the service.

Was getting "Download Zone" 2 hours after it was supposed to be over yet I was down to 20MB on the allowance. But only 3 minutes till a reset, so waited that out and the next reset was listed to be 2 hours and 40 minutes later.

Went to check data use, and last usage is still on the 23rd from just before the outage.

It appears that it is renewing every 4 hours and some odd minutes. But everytime it does that, it removes a token. When it is repaired, will I be getting my tokens back because I certainly am not using 3 Gb of download a night.

Sad... Some of them have so many tokens and once its used up, another token gets automatically used up (repeat) and thats a good question, will they get back there tokens??

They have'nt made any progress with the Gen4 allowance, should have bonus bytes by now but we're not. I'm still able to download however much I want.

Kinda wondering right now if hughes is actually doing anything? Last night and night before I started seeing a whole bunch of new customers over on the community page complaining and having multiple issues. Sooner or later its gonna fall onto us Gen4 users

Realy feel bad for the people that are getting fapped.

As for them getting rid of the fap-free zone it'd be suicide possibly, but they are doing some sorta gen4 plan with the spaceway sat afaik.

anon posted : Same thing is happening to all HN9000 users, I think. It's probably related to the maintenance the other day. I have a feeling that they are indeed from now on going to count download amounts made during the unlimited period towards our daily limits. Also, i could swear the "bandwidth exceeded" popup has different wording now. :(

I hope I'm wrong.

I hope hughes hasn't done away with the fap-free time for us 9000 users.
