Baja Sur Excede Down?
All the Excede accounts in San Juanico are down and have not been online for 5 days. Is anyone else in Baja having problems with Excede?

yes it was slow here too...
I had 4 big Microsoft updates...could be throttling
I had to repair internet updates...the unfinished downloads we causing problems in my registry
susan called exede and they said the antenna aimed wrong...
liars...I don't trust them
I have 2 separate services and BOTH were slow
they may have moved the SAT a little...or the world isn't a ball and is oval or flat : )
go to control panel ...update and security...and repair options
damn ...I just checked and ANOTHER update downloading NOW!!!

Jeff
Do you know what beam you are assigned to? I have a guy on beam 88 a little north of Guerro Negro that is down also just wondering if it might be
related. If everyone in San Juanico is down then for sure Exede is having a problem. I'm going down to visit him the day after tomorrow and was going
to take a spare modem, Tria and ifl cable to try to get him going. Beam 88 services southern Arizona but it is a huge beam and obviously stretches all
the way down to your area and if Exede ever reduced the size of the beam people in the south would lose service. Hope that is not the case now.

mulege...speed test after Microsoft update...
I don't think its a modem or antenna problem
these updates are HUGE and if everyone is getting them the internet will stop
it took 1 hour to reboot my computer after the update was downloaded

I don't think slow is Jeffs problem he says all Exede accounts are off line in San Juanico. Slow is a whole different problem.

that's why I have 2 units...to check exede
the ALWAYS say we need to send a TECH to re-aim the antenna
the updates were stopping the internet here on both our units
if there are 4 lights and no internet...it's the provider

I don't have Excede, I have V-Sat, but I'm trying to get info for the people in San Juanico with Excede to hopefully get them back on line. Osiris
has sent us a message saying there's an outage and it should be up soon. Originally he said it would be last night or today, but everyone is still
without service.
Larry, we don't know what beam Excede users have here in San Juanico. Interesting theory. I hope the town isn't outside the beam. Can you please
keep us updated if you discover anything.
Well try to find out what beam SJ is on.

Look out for Windows 10 updates. They killed my laptop.

I'm not certain that MS updates could affect the connectivity, other than overloading the beam (if everybody is updating at the same time) and slowing
it down.
Besides, it doesn't have to update everybody at the same time. If yo set your Active Hours to daytime https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4027636/windows-sch... it will update in the night.

it's called "throttling" and it sucks
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth_throttling
only so much data can be sent at one time so the provider slows the service and limits data transmission

Let them call it what they want  ...
Set up your PC to update in the night.

that doesn't work because everyone gets the update...
so the data is downloading all the time and slows the internet

This can be done.
Settings -> Networks & Internet -> Change Connection Properties -> Metered Connection -> On.
It won't download any updates until you set Metered to Off again. You will have to turn it to Off from time to time if you don't want to deal with a
whole sh-t load of updates a few months later.

In any event, setting Active Hours won't hurt - it won't suddenly install/restart in daytime then.

that's JUST for you...the rest of the SAT clients data still goes thru the SAT
so all data slows
changing your download time wont change the speed or SAT service

So the rest of clients are lazy. Or they are dumb. Or - both ... Big news...
Still makes sense for you, because your night time GB (probably) don't count towards your daytime GB. Unless your Sat plan is so big that it doesn't
matter.
Enable updates download in the evening once a week, and in the morning disable it for a week again.
Besides saving GB, your PC runs smoother when it doesn't have to deal with Win downloads and your other tasks at the same time.
And you set Active Hours in daytime so that when it will download updates, it won't install it in daytime, restarting and interrupting whatever you're
doing. This works no matter when you've downloaded the updates. You only set this schedule once.
