So what is the difference between the two? Look at it that way.

You need to watch out with videos, not good for sat since it can put you in the FAP Zone. Maybe this has already happened to you? Many don't realize this and run their new found speed to the max. You really need to know your limits and the system so it doesn't happen, FAP

What kind of weather did you have yesterday? My speeds were down considerably with our ice storm but I never lost the connection. This is what I had January 15th, 03:43PM - Dn 471/Up 81 kbps done through Hughesnet speedtest and I did clean some ice off early when my signal got near 50. I hope you made some sense of what had told you. Keep us informed and bring your questions.

As on to another I have never either, but I use home remedies that I can remember and fortunately i have a son-in-law that knows many. Speed Test Working as well as I expect, OK

Yes, we did do that years ago, made some nice custom re curves using different grains for effect. Unfortunately a only few of us are left and it's no longer done. I did some choosing wood and rough fitting and watched the gluing together with fiberglass to make the limbs. We did some design and had one man who was excellent on finishing the ideas. Sure miss those days, walks in the woods during shoots and just plain scouting out areas. :sad:

I think that's a good idea, we'll all hedge you on.

100,000 pounds of money, now that's a lot of money even in loose change, but I would like it in loose bills no matter what size they were.

I'm not sure what kind of cable I have, I'll check when it gets daylight but I think it is Quad something. I do have a satellite connection I know, I can see the dish. I think that if your speeds are good use that as an indicator for later if it drops. Indicators and tests can show up differently from different sources so I always try to use the same one for evaluating my problem than evaluating the tests. SNR from what I know would refer to a radio signal, maybe that's why the change.

We had another dusting in the beginning of the week and some frost but it has rained the past 2 days straight, got to stop. If your referring to hedge like around the house or edge of the yard, never had much except about 20' out front my wife planted. I use plenty of red oak, white oak, cherry, ash and whatever else has lost it's leaves, I mean in the summer time. Have a thermometer on the pipe above the stove and it generally runs 200 - 250 degrees, but has been to 500 a few times, no wire brush for the stainless pipe. So I'll keep a window open since it's 85 in here now and I'll sit by my

Your right there, I remembering getting an Axe, buck saw, and a pocket knife for smaller items. Had to make my own toys.

I've noticed that, when I get in I make sure I warm my fingers by the wood stove throughly before going on-line.

My typing varies it too, sometimes I use more than one finger, thats when I can find the keyboard.

Tommie, I have never been on a satellite in my life and I never intend to ride on unless it's a Plymouth.

Just to add the longer anyone plays, the oder they get.

Ah..................

A regular what??? Shug7272, I see that I'm tagged a senior member, is that like AARP, over the 50.

Try reading through this http://www.dslreports.com/faq/satellite , some of it may help you understand. If you didn't need to load software consider it a self hosted system. Now here is something else to read through, http://www.dslreports.com/forum/wildblue , somewhere you'll understand no to expect the top performance, but settle for the best you can make it. The system does work, you need to understand it.

simi-dimpskin Try reducing your browser's cache to 1mb size. Sometimes that works. You may need to increase the cache size but keeping it low seems to help. I lean my PC's for daily and "defrag" often. Worth the try, works for me.

How's it going simi-dimpskin, Haven't heard from you but hopefully your lost in the net with some new speed and forgot where we were. If you do find out what package you have could you post what speeds it is supposed to be and if you find other packages could you post those also?

Wow, I had to go back and see what I had said, couldn't remember, but thanks, for helping out. By the way I just found some chains, I read that somewhere so it reminded me. edit: fixed quote

What'd I do??

Sounds like there is going to be a big fight. Who here is the...ah... great hype...ah ....I mean hope. I could be wrong about this spammer thing, as I remember spam was used at meals. Is it a eating contest, who can eat the most spam???

Your welcome.
