I've been watching the posts closely since I posted on 2-25 about my
slow speeds and wanted to give everybody an update.

I've been a Direcway/Hughes customer for over 5 years and until 2
months ago have been happy with my 4000 system.

I have been on the phone with teir 4 tech support 4 times since
2-25. My speeds had been less than 30 kbs down since 1-25. The last
tech person I talked to said they were intentionally slowing the 4000
users from 6:00pm to 12:00am every night and weekends. He said this
system was becoming obsolete and they wanted to phase it out.

I said that was fine but I thought I should get a free upgrade to
the 7000S. It took 2 weeks and a bump up to Excutive Customer Service
but I finally got my free upgrade.

Upgrade to the 7000S was 2 days ago. Speeds are averaging 600-1000
down and 150-200 up. So far so good.

In my opinion it took too much time and too many phone calls (about
4 hous total of wait on hols time) but they did eventually do as I
requested and So far I'm happy.

Boy the installers can really tell you a thing or two about Hughes
service. Acouding to him I didn't really need the upgrade that is just
what Hughes wants you to do. He said he could have made my 4000 system
download at faster speed than the 7000S.

All I wanted was the speeds that I felt the company should offer
(i.e. atleast 1/2 the max) and now after 2 months I'm getting them

If you ever see him again, tell him he should do a few of those for
people that would be willing to give full testimonials, then go on
BroadbandReports.com and offer to do it for people at, say, $500 per.

In other words, color me highly skeptical.

Unless he discovered something local to your system, either with the
dish, or with your computer, that he fixed and which would also have
fixed your 4000 problems.

I got news for you, most everyone gets throttled between 6pm an
midnight. That is prime time, and is the period of heaviest usage.

Frank,
For over a month my download speeds were never over 30 kbs. I think
that's a little more than the typical slow down.

I had Direcway/Hughes for a few years and was not happy at all.
If it rained hard or snowed my connection was extremely slow, or unavailable.
I needed high speed for my job and this was my only option, the system did not work with my work vpn - it was a nightmare really...I had to go to a coffee shop to download and upload files to the vpn...we were finally able to get dsl here. I would never use this again

As well as, when the particular emotion is one among the confidence as well as certainty to your ability, the effect will much better. If then you're able to over nervous, over just can't wait, angry, perfectly as too cautious, your generate is way worse, and with these times, trying significant just will allow you to get a lot more stressed, moment anxious, plus more frustrated.
