"P.S. I use relatively small files to mirror my real life usage." Interesting...so a 100 kbps upload speed using a smaller file represents a realistic measure because it factors in the lag more appropriately??? I guess I like to see the larger file upload speed because it indicates to me that I am capable of reaching speeds that I am paying for. Am I right in what I am thinking.

Yes, but I was hoping for reasonable latency for satellite somewhere in the range of 600 -800 ms. Gaining an extra half second from where I am now would be real nice! I really feel the pain when dealing with IMAP and HTTPS. But wow do my downloads fly compared to dial-up. All in all...I would say I am extremely satisfied. I am paying $79/month for the pro package but I get $10 knocked off for coupling my bill with Direct TV. I was paying $20/mos for two dial-up connections along with $35/mos for callwave, a landline, and the call forward on busy feature. Therefore, I am actually paying $14 extra per month to have excellent DL(30x faster)/UL(I think landline is faster than 56k), and the ability to connect throughout my home via a wireless router.

Hmmmm the minimum has decreased but average is consistent with last reading.

Bad news...latency still sucks compared to the 700ms I expected when I purchased WB.

And if I upload a larger file I get much better speeds. Is a larger file upload more or less accurate??
