Why Does My Netflix Download Say Waiting For Connectivity

Hi, I am having a problem with extremely slow Internet, your website says that emails will be replied to within 24 hours but I have not received a single reply to any email that I have sent the company, and no they are not in my spam folder.

A litte background on myself... I am a professional electronics technician I do componet level circuit board repairs including SMD/SMT, for a little while I was a Tier-3 technician for what is now Century Link, and I worked at three different "Help Desks" for major companies for a total of around 17 years, I also build PCs, fix laptops, and whatever else happens to come my way.

So... my PC which runs a version of Linux worked just fine in Portland on an 85 meg DSL line, as did my Android phone and my laptop which also runs Linux, over a year and a half I had zero problems there, and then I moved out in the middle of nowhere and you were my only option, when this was first hooked up your service was slow but it worked and I barely used it while I was getting moved in...

But now I am moved in and trying to do what worked fine in Portland on the DSL line and everything is extremely slow, Netflix just sits there and spins it's red swirly thing sometimes for several minutes then the video finally loads then a minute or so later it buffers again and sometimes up to ten minutes later it will finally load the video again, other times it gives me an error to check my Internet connection.

YouTube doesn't take as long to load videos but about every 5-10 seconds buffers and is completely unwatchable, it is so unwatchable that I resorted to playing from my MP3 collection, it has also told me to check my Internet connection.

Amazon Prime Video I have only tried to use once, after sitting there for a while it gave an error and asked if I wanted to wait longer for the video to load, I said yes and then after waiting a while it gave another error that my Internet connection was too slow to provide stable video streaming and then just like YouTube if buffered over and over, it is not watchable.

Once in a while my PC will actually give an error that my Internet connection has been lost, my PC is plugged directly into your modem with an industry grade Cat6 cable and is not going through any other devices, I have tried the onboard Ethernet jack and the PCI Ethernet card and they both do the same thing, I also tried the other ports on the modem.

Normal websites take several minutes to load and usually just stall and I have to hit Reload, even the hughesnet.com website just slooooowwwwwllllllllyyyyy loads the pictures and about 2-3 minutes later the "My Account" button will finally show up.

My laptop and Android phone are both going over WiFi and are connecting at 72 megs and are both experiencing the same problems that the PC is, everything has been rebooted and I have run the required speed tests which oddly look fine (see below), but weirdly enough the best that this has ever worked was during a blizard when the dish was covered in a thick sheet of ice things were loading as well as they ever did on the DSL line in Portland and then once it warmed up and the ice melted off the dish things went back to being slow again, my theory on that is that my dish is not aligned just right and the thich sheet of ice was accounting for that and realigning the radio beam correctly.

While trying to watch a 3.5 minute music video on my phone (via the YouTube app) the download status bar was barely keeping up with the video % bar, the download bar stalled several times and then eventually the video caught up with it and the buffering started.

Also... Netflix and YouTube have their video quality turned down as low as they will go and they are still buffering.

Anyway here are the speed tests, please do whatever you can to fix this.

This is amazingly annoying, because it is the very last step to get it working, the code on my laptop is already written and tested.

The device is in slave mode, the pincode is checked via serial commands and the internet doesn't seem to have a concrete answer.

During the first photo (Takes about 30sec), the indicator LED is burning continuously, indicating a connection. After this however (2nd photo), the LED somethimes starts blinking again, meaning it is waiting for connection. My pc never gives any indication of a succesfull connection, not in the BT settings nor in the device manager.
