  1. I'm..........t...h..i..n..k..k....i...n..g.......speak some more.
  2. I would have to disagree with a NOC issue. Checking other forums there are no complains that would be constant with an issue because it would effect a number of people and not just one. I still have a site using G11 steady and faithful from the day initiated. Slow downs are dependent on the amount of traffic since the transponders are more limited than land lines.
  3. I live where I can almost hear the thundering water fall, I sometimes can see the mist from it. Many times this location is protected from the winter force, a spot if I could climb a tall enough tree I can see 2 large lakes to the north and to the south. The water from the thundering water fall flows north here from the south lake to the north lake. Here in the spring the water comes out of the ground in different locations one spot I found many years ago (in a small pond my aunts and uncles skated on when they were kids) the water will surface and flow east and west. I live where we have 4 full seasons, and all the weather to go with it. Like an oasis in a populated area and somewhat still back in time. this is where I live. Sometimes in 15 minutes we can be in another country to the north where summer can be much shorter. This spot has been my home all my life, a good place ot come back to.
  4. [move] [/move] Wish you both the best and I hope I get like both you when I get your age.
  5. I'll donate my best wishes, hope it helps
  6. Want to borrow one of my chain saws?, may equal more speed.
  7. First of all you cannot pick a frequency of your own, each transponder has it's own frequency and polarization and is given to your from NOC (First Registration Process). The modem will automatically go back to your assigned frequency until NOC changes it. You may think you have changed it in the setup but once you reboot it goes right back to the assigned transponder so it is very important that it is adjusted to the highest possible numbers which I believe most installers don't have the time to do. You mention a lot of adjusting on the sat dishes but don't confuse this with a TV dish, these transmit and are a great deal more sensitive. I got one of the first 2-way systems and it is still functioning steadily even after being moved to different locations and it is also on G11 - 1370. Having problems as yours I would first check all ends of the coax for any corrosion and make sure the feedhorn is clear and no moisture behind the cover that can distort signal. I would go through and thoroughly eliminate problems on my end before calling and most of the time problem solved before making a call that can add more frustration.
  8. I found the following information: "When the card is out of EV-DO range the Compass 597 drops to the much slower 1X system, with speeds around 100 Kbps." " from the tests, the better the EV-DO signal, the faster the performance. It's also pretty clear that some EV-DO Rev A coverage areas are MUCH faster than others." Are you using an external antenna with this modem? If not it probably would be a good idea to investigate them.
  9. I think better can be done. What you need to remember is that most wireless connections may not preform best just setting them up. I had trouble at first and had to move my router card combo to a spot so it wasn't bouncing between 2 towers plus I use an outdoor antenna. There could be a number of reasons yours is slow and I found the signal meant the most. :::..
