I am new as well to the Bell HPSA network--Bell Turbo Hub and I as well am very impressed. Located outside Minden Ontario--very hilly and rocky--lots of evergreens to obstruct signal--but doing not bad. Installed an outdoor Yagi Antenna and will also be adding an amplifyer to maximize signal. Downloads and uploads are pretty much the same at 2mbs--I cant believe the upload speeds!!! I cant wait to see what the amp.does for my speeds.Also am able to use voice over ( magic jack) for first time--awsome. I as well have ended a 2 year stint with xplornet (Hughes) and cancelled a year early--so on top of having to put up with satellite and spending over 100.00 a month--I have a 312.00 early cancellation fee!! I will make that back in first 6 months--this new Bell deal is 1/4 the price as well. Only drawback is, it can get expensive for anyone doing alot of downloading of movies, music ect. After 10 gigabit in a month--it costs1.5cents per mb--I highly doubt I will go over the 10gigabit package.

Thanks for the cell tower map!! Yes the latency was the worst with sattellite

I am rural so the outdoor will be installed.. Have been with xplornet sattellite ( hughes) 2mb package 170.00 per month--upload supposed to be 300kps--never more than around 225 This is 1/4 cost and way faster--like having a DSL or Cable.

you had mentioned mtu settings--how do I adjust that?? Thanks-

The number 192.168.0.1 is my hughes net statistics page--which gives imfo about my satelllite connections --strenth ect. not the router--is this what you ment??

:not sure what those are--duplex settings, GUI, and QOS settings.What are these and how do Look at and fix??

downloaded latest firmware-as per message and no change. Unplugged router and modem for bit just to try and see any change. no difference--upload without router--290--with 190--using testmy upload test

Yep--thats the router Sorry --what is firmware?? Banjo

:roll I have a d-link DIR-655 Router which is only about 6 months old. I have discovered that my upload speed problem is related to this. I have replaced the cables to only mimimal effect,speeds bypassing the router for upload are fine--with the router they are less than half at times. I am on a 2mb down 300kps up package and the download speed with or without router are 2100 --upload without router 365-290kps with router 150-195 kps Any ideas??

made a couple of errors--I am on elite package-- new speed package is elite-premium

I needed high speed and only thing I could get was sattelite. Company I called suggested the new spaceway 3 (hn 9000 modem) launched within a couple of weeks at time I applied for service--a few hicups due to moving noc from Germantown to Winnipeg.Once that was done--smooth sailing, no problems--only my own equipment. On pro package and always have speeds of 2050kps and 350 kps up --winter and summer and bad weather. Was on a free trial of new Elite package--speeds were around 5500 to 7000 kps and 550 kps up--too expensive to purchase though---300.00 per month.
