You do not have to own anything. I pay a simple 10 bucks a month to lease the equipment. Not only is that a reasonable fee for the technology involved, but it also guarantees a warranty on everything you are leasing. If you own it, you gotta replace it if it breaks.

anyways..

Here is another test, only 6MB size but most of my downloads are small, so this is relative to the actual performance I am used to.

Sat Nov 06 2010 @ 12:09:28 pm Download = 6 MB Speed= 6.41 Mbps (783 kB/s) Comp ID: 896143566650 Host: direcpc.com Test ID: EXIC30AT8

they sure changed in the last couple of years then. So by leasing can you leave at the drop of the hat also? If so not sure why everyone one would not go that way. Not being strapped to a contract would be nice. As to those speeds, yes those are nice.

Last time I had Hughes, it sucked. THEN once we switch away, it doesn't. BS if you ask me.

Satelite will always suck unless you just have to have it. IMO No matter the speed there will never be a way to stop signal lag of a 45.000 mile signal journey.

You also have to own all your own euipment, which is outdated by them often. So yeah it will always 'suck'.

Had to get me a copy of that, thanks bro.

Just for my own curiousity of course.

How s Verizon DSL available, but AT&T's is not? I have always been on dial up, EVDO, or sat. So I just don't know.

Lets see, latency ... satelite. Yep I remember what latency was. That sucks. Hope you get it worked out soon.

You have to wait till they have an opening, then as a waiting endlessly member get picked. Thats about it. I thought about it just before I got EVDO .....

hope Fikester and Bird Fan do not come in here. I personally found the TCP Optimizer best for performance. But those two will insist impossible for satelite uses self hosting systems? Anyway they say its impossible to tweak anything past the DW4000 modem. In their opinions of course.

What do you pay for those speeds? How large is the FAP bucket?

Perfect ................. and AMEN.

I hope that was not admitance that I am in anyway considered an old gray haired old geezer ......... even if I am one.

Even more reason to test

I will be when I get my 4G to replace this 3G setup. Supposed to be smokin in comparison.

It got quiet in here, what happened to everyone, lol?

Many of us jumped on the EVDO bandwagon.

end of the day...i look in the mirror...i see...my mother...oh and she was an american of irish ancestry hehehe

Same here, but my irish ancestory came from my great grandad.

If you don't like it here than LEAVE and go back to where you came from. PLEASE.......

DITTO

Absolutely LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT ! ! ! Still the best deal on this planet. Approved by trillions of immigrants.

No one is "american" we are all people

At the end of the day I look in the mirror ...................................... and I still see an american. So what country are you from then?

Just has not been much to cheer about the last two years. Sorry. I hope it picks up soon also. The USA needs a shot in the arm.

For me the thread is never forgotten.

I'll say she's sizzling.

Ah yes, the good old days when CA3LE used to ok the newbies by hand. Thats progress for you.

Wait didn't someone say CA3LE's a bot also?

Just an opinion, but if I was paying what they get for Norton, I'd be using Kapersky instead and getting my moneys worth. Norton stinks for me. Glad it works for you. And welcome aboard the forum.

Super antispyware works quite well on stuff like that.

And many more to come. :

But there is. 3 or 4 people have voted. Vote is like post.

Danged me I forgot.

But the "08" is the last post.

I just smile, grin at the cashier and keep walking. Actualy a smart thief wouild keep walking too. Why look like a theif?

Next time I should smile proper then.

What speeds are you supposed to be getting?

thanks for your answer, i only have one question, why does the online scan detect virus that kaspersky doesn't?, i'm doing the panda active scan 2.0 and has detected 18 virus

Sounds like you definately need to scan in safe mode with networking.

Once in there try scanning there, you should pull more of the baddies out. When your done don't forget to defrag and diskclean after.
