According to sales and Excede website I should be getting 14Mbs+ but I'm getting *far less*. The price for only 10Mbps and the actual speed make for a bad service.

If it's more accurate, then I'm get even LESS than than my quoted speed:
Download :: 2.5 Mbps 314 kB/s
Your Speed :: 2.5 Mbps
80% slower than your Host average 12.5 Mbps
83% slower than your City average 14.8 Mbps
86% slower than the US average 18 Mbps
68% slower than the Index 7.9 Mbps
X
You might have a problem...
Yeah, I have a problem alright - I'm using exede. Yes I've looked at the "modem" address already. The Rx SNR is 9.2 dB, and the cable resistance is 3 ohms. I wasn't expecting anything fantastic for the ping time, as the signal has to travel much further via satellite, however I WAS expecting a better speed rating. I'm paying for 12Mbps, getting 2 - 3.5, I should be paying for that level of service instead..

Moejj, with those results for speed tests using both websites, you do have a problem. Your modem stats do look very good, so there is a problem with the hardware, and you should send an email to the moderators at exedelistens@viasat.com explaining what you have posted here. They will be able to direct your situation to the technical department. They can look at much more information about your modem and tria from their end with diagnostic software. You certainly should be getting much more speed than you are, and the problem may also be the reason your data being consumed at a high rate. The Exede moderators are very helpful, unlike the CSD people you call on the phone.
I know what package of service I am paying for, thank you for the reminder.
Are you implying that 2.5 - 3 Mpbs d/l with 512Kbps u/l is standard or to be expected? Really? Allow me to not so humbly point out what the rate of expectation is.
Here's taken from Exede:
What is normal speed?>Exede–12 Mbps, Evolution and Business
· Excluding the evening hours, you should see 12 Mbps per second download on at least one speed test.
· During the evening hours, you should see 8-10 Mbps down/2 Mbps up or better on at least one speed test
· Speed tests results showing less than 10 Mbps down/2 Mbps up outside of the evening hours is considered out of normal range. Less than 8 Mbps per second during evening hours is also considered out of the normal range.
· Less than 1 Mbps down indicates you may have exceeded your data allowance, if there are no other problems found with your service.

Moejj, thanks for posting this...I had been looking for specific info indicating what range of speeds are considered normal at different times and hadn't seen this before.
I'll break it down for you. This is a discussion board. I am a paying customer. I am not getting what I am paying a premium price for. I will sound off. If there are sooo many issues with this technology which are soo commonplace as you make it seem to appear, the customer needs to be made aware of this prior to being locked into a 2 year contract under a false pretense of adequate performance. If I agreed to pay 65 a month to be forced to use public wireless, which, if you misunderstand - I did NOT- I would have nothing to be upset about. If you don't like my complaint, you are welcome to cover my 65 dollar monthly bill, otherwise move along, and do not reply to my posts with worthless banter which does not assist anyone faced with paying for a broken product/service.

Sure sound off, but that doesn't have to include being rude to people. You can get your point across better by calling attention to the PROBLEM, not to the rude way in which you choose to communicate. Honestly, Moejj, sarcasm and putdowns don't help anything and just call attention to you in a negative way.
Yes, you definitely have a problem that needs to be fixed. We got that. I might be annoyed, but that is as far as it would go with me and then I'd focus all my energy on getting it fixed.

I wasn't being rude. Misnterpretation does not equate reality.

Of course I am correct. Which is why I am posting on this board.
There is no insult from my end, strictly stating fact. I have had other ISPs, never had ANY issues accessing a simple webpage and / or login.
I do now.
With other ISPs I have always received 80 to 120% of rated speed.
I now enjoy below 25% of advertised rated speed.
To imply this is not an exede issue is ridiculous foolishness on your part. If you do not have any technical data or knowledge to demonstrate or troubleshoot where in the chain the issue lies, which is within the exede service , you need to keep you personal opinion to yourself.
If you feel insulted by any of this, as stated previously, do not respond to my posts concerning my lack of product. You are not part of the equation. I did not include you, you took it upon yourself to join in on this thread. There are plenty of other discussion boards on the internet you can troll without fear or worry of *mistakenly* believing that you are being insulted. I'm paying for this, my demand for receiving what I am paying for matters, as well as posting proof of the problem WITH the service is highly relevant to the issue.
Who or what are you to to say to any paying customer their service problem does not matter or deserve to be posted in the company discussion board problem area, or more ridiculously insinuate it's not a service problem - really? You need to rethink your hobbies. As of yet, your "contributions" have amounted to nothing more than a waste of time, with zero substance or contribution to the resolution of the matter at hand.
Empty opinions, snarky remarks (which I've seen you post to other paying customers) and empty banter offer nothing, beyond adding to the total number of your posts so you can see your profile on the website.
Attempt to contribute something constructive , or stop wasting everyone's time with empty comments. Find some other forum to troll, specifically somewhere people are not upset over wasting their hard earned money. Maybe your posts may have some level of value, and you won't falsely feel insulted.
Cheers.

Moejj, it appears that you are posting here only to put down the Exede service and to rant and rave. This you are very entitled to do, just as the many others who post on the Exede Community.
I can understand that you feel that you are not getting the service that you expected when you signed up for two years. If you are only getting 4 Mbs download speeds, then you do deserve to have Exede look into this and find where the slowdown is occurring. I can tell you that the service is not flawed as a whole, but that individual customers, due to improper installations or equipment problems, do have problems as you are having. I have been on Exede for over 28 months now, and only on rare occassions have I seen speeds in the 8 Mbs range, probably due to excessive use by those others on my beam. My normal speed range from 14 to 23 Mbs, which would indicate that the system does deliver "Up to 12 Mbs", and many times more.
What I think you should be doing is to contact one of the Exede technical people, many are monitoring this board, and explain to them what your issues are. These are the people who have access to the right people to look into your system from their end, they will be able to get your installation working as is intended, and certainly would make you happier. Send an email message to one of the moderator/technical people like Exede Alex or Kimberly at exedelistens@viasat.com

Demonstrate where I am ranting and raving as you put it, as well as "putting" down exede? I posted my speeds, I stated I am paying for something I am not receiving. This equates to ranting and raving and putting down exede. Ridiculous.
Steve Frederick-VS1/Beam314, Champion
Why is it that you will not contact Exede to have them look into your slow speeds? That would bring better results than just posting on this board.
Why is you you assumed I haven't? I responded to Star Matter's post from over a week ago, which in turn was from a post prior to that. My original post stands as is, issue not yet resolved.
I am overjoyed that you get above and beyond the 12Mbps rated speed, what does that have to do with my issue?
Nothing.
You've been using it for X amount of months - what does that have to do with this issue I am experiencing - nothing.
What have you accomplished other than twisting a technical issue into a personal rant of some sort? I'll succinctly state - nothing.
Unlike yourself, I simply just do not have the time to detail step by step what I do on exede, and quite honestly, between full time job, full time school in addition to volunteer work, I just don't have to time to be sitting on these boards giving a play by play to keep you informed. I have real world issues to tend to. Keeping you in the loop, I am sorry to say is not my concern I just don't have the time. The technical support issue is in process, and today's initial post by me was `a response to StarMatter, who as yourself, decided to make this some sort of ridiculous personal matter.
I am confident have good intentions, however, jumping in and rudely stating that all I'm doing is "putting down exede" is juvenile at best. You aren't the Holy Exede Defender, and if you were, you're way off mark, as I haven't "put down" exede. I'm overjoyed you take such pride in dominating this board with what I will assume is occasional helpful advice to fellow members.
I'll kindly recommend to you as I did StarMatter - if you have a suggestion or solution - your input is welcome. If you have personal snark, opinion, or empty comment there are plenty of forums on the internet to troll, it's not welcomed here.
In closing allow me to update you on my internet connectivity issue, I currently enjoy a 2.5 Mbps connection speed. School website takes five minutes to log into, mutiple browser tabs open for conducting research is an effort in futility. All this and I pay $65 a month combined with a 10GB data cap. I still have yet to get a response what the unlabeled 5 dollar amount on my bill is, the listed items come to sixty dollars, however that is another matter of dissatisfaction. This is why I'm not happy. This is why I posted. Not to have a textual volley back and forth with a couple of individuals who deem it necessary to include themselves on every single post on here as if it's their job or responsibility.
Have a pleasant day.

Forum members will be able to advise you better if you post your modem stats. You can go to 192.168.100.1 and paste a screen shot or just post the numbers. My first guess is an installation problem. Hopefully, you can get it resolved before your 90-day installation warranty runs out. Simply posting on here may not get the attention of tech support. You need to send a message to exedelistens@viasat.com or one of the moderators to insure your issue gets attention.
Thanks for the advice.

Your modem stats look to be acceptable values. Only having my numbers to compare, you are losing about 20-times as much signal in your coax as I am. Wonder if you have a long coax? 100-feet or so? Hopefully, the folks at Exede can figure this out for you.
Need to check to see if solid copper coax was used also.
Moejj, I looked in our inbox and haven't come across any emails regarding any issues like this that were sent in the past few days. Could you please resend your email to exedelistens@viasat.com and we will keep a look out and respond right away. Thank you.
(Edited)
I've sent an email to that address last Saturday, copy is in my sent folder. I'll send again, probably make it this time since I'm not on the exede network.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Moejj, it is your right to complain. Don't listen to the wannabe moderators that are fishing for stars and likes.
LorrieL, Champion
rudeness, arrogance and sarcasm are not the same thing as complaining. It is about values, not about approval seeking.
Agreed Cedius, it appears they find it some sort of social standing or bragging rights to respond to every post they can. That's FINE, everyone needs a purpose in life, BUT, when they insert snarky comments and or attempt to turn it into an issue as IF THEY are part of the chain, they've immediately removed themselves from any possible value to the equation.
LorrieL, Champion
Moejj, seems as if you are using this discussion to take out some anger at people you don't even know. I am surprised you would complain about someone's supposedly "snarky": comments since the only comments I see here that seem to meet that designation are yours. Did you come here looking for help or for a fight?
Hope your problem gets solved.
Hope your problem gets solved.
"It seems"
Again, you as well as 2 others take it upon yourself to explain to me what I'm doing. You, as they are - WRONG. Reread my posts. Remove your personal feelings from my issue. There's a vast difference with being unhappy with sub-par service, and being angry. If you are incapable of reading my post without interjecting your personal opinion which had absolutely nothing to do with the solution, then kindly move along. Your thoughts are not required. You provide no solution, and it appears you are guilty of what you're attempting to pin on me. I'm not on this board to read your misinterpretations of my posts, neither is anyone else.
Have a pleasant day.

Moejj, I still haven't received an email from you. Would you mind sending it again to exedelistens@viasat.com with "forum post" in the subject line. Thank you.
(Edited)
I shall resend again.
I think something is going awry with your email to us. I haven't received it yet.. /:
X4, lastly with forum post in subject line. Check your spam folder.
We do not have a spam folder with the system we work cases through..
I've sent it AGAIN for the 5th time. Seems as if this email option is pointless / fruitless.
Moejj, it looks as though your Cable Attenuation is WAY to high....how far away from your modem is your tria and dish? After 100 to 150 or so feet your speeds will start to degrade due to how the signal travels along the cable. If you are under 100 feet, I would begin to wonder if there is not a break in the Center conductor of your cable some where....This could cause the HIGH attenuation numbers your modem is displaying....causing your speeds to be low...Just a thought.
Thanks for that input weaver! Any ideas or suggestions are always appreciated. Thanks again.
