Your modem is in a FAP state.
To ensure fair internet access for all HughesNet subscribers, Hughes maintains a Fair Access Policy (FAP.)   This policy establishes an equitable balance in internet access for HughesNet subscribers.   Hughes assigns a download threshold to each service plan that limits the amount of data that may be downloaded during a typical day.   The small percentage of subscribers who exceed this limit will experience a temporary reduction of speed.

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

I have reached a conclusion regarding every member of this forum.
I no longer respect any of you. I hope the following offends you as much as this thread has offended me:
You are all awful people. I mean this *expletive deleted*ing seriously.

Wild blue is worse. After 6 years of using about 25% of my plan I used an online backup service and went over by 50mbps on upload. They blocked me for 30 days. They know you're locked into them or you wouldn't use them in the first place.

You got 50mbps upload on Wild Blue?  Impressive speed.

My understanding of all these rural hybrid satellite/dial-up systems is that upload goes through POTS, and download comes through satellite.  Your "upload" content is usually small stuff like an HTTP GET or POST request, while your download content is the large stuff on the page.  Downloads are high latency operations due to the satellite bounces involved, but for web browsing not a big deal (though sucky for games or for session-sensitive browsing or live streaming of audio/video).

But upload is usually under 50kbps for these, and download somewhere around 5mbps, from what I recollect about them.

Have they changed architecture to allow upload traffic through satellite rather than POTS?

So ... fapping jokes aside, how are you posting on here if you can't get online?  Or was this in reference to a previous problem?

Is the "reduction in speed" so severe you can't use a low-bandwidth like email?

They throttle it back so much it makes dialup look speedy. The only positive thing about hughesnet is it is only a 24 hr block not 30 days like wildblue

Fair enough, but it might be worth the crawl when the subjects are love and money.

Some people asked why I don't get satellite internet instead of DSL through the local phone co-op ...

Well, for working from home, sometimes I have to UP-load large files  :facepalm:
