i dont think i agree with you DaveMan... do you have some proof of that?

bigger size would most likely increase your signal strength and keep it higher even during storms... which i suppose could increase your speed some... or at least prevent it from decreasing as much...

I said that because my freind used to have sattilite internet and from experience he has switched dishes, and when he got a smaller dish his speeds increased.

this is my speed today:

:::.. Download Stats ..:::

Connection is:: 6172 Kbps about 6.2 Mbps (tested with 5983 kB)

Download Speed is:: 753 kB/s

Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (main)

Test Time:: Tue Apr 19 18:35:09 PDT 2005

Bottom Line:: 110X faster than 56K 1MB download in 1.36 sec

Diagnosis: Awesome! 20% + : 83.8 % faster than the average for host (comcast.net)

not too bad. 

what are your speeds, (up/down) please post.

The smaller your dish is the faster and more reliable connection u wil get, I know its hard to believe but its true.

oh I see, but I thought u had cable? Comcast only has cable internet. I'm confused. lol

I cant see this one either, I saw the first one though.

sorry I thought u meant there was an ISP called Talk America, lol. 

Ignore the post before this I messed up the modem model name, Correction:

And one more thing I saw that you are using a Motorola SB5100. Call Comcast and ask them to get you the SB5120, thats then new out right now, that should help. Your modem might be old, give it a try.

I have noticed that upload tests are much slower with Mozilla Firefox, but when I test with Internet Explorer this is what I get:

:::.. Upload Stats ..:::

Connection is:: 694 Kbps about 0.7 Mbps (tested with 579 kB)

Upload Speed is:: 85 kB/s

and it is true the download speed test are much faster with Firefox. Just thought I might add.

Ok, what kind of internet do u have and what are your download and upload speeds? please post, thank u.

I have the 6mbps/0.7mbps package for with Comcast and these are the speeds now:

Actually I have never heard of that ISP, whats their adveritsed up/down speed?

Have u tried replacing your modem at all? And how old is your modem?

There might just be one problem, it might be your modem try replacing the modem if you are using the company's modem. Thats what I am thinking.

Yes, thats a good upload speed.

Try Winmx or Morpheus, those 2 are good p2p sharing programs, I am using Morpheus right now, its reliable.

How does everyone see the pic? when I open it, shows me a cannot find 404 webpage.

That is way fast 3.4 mbps uload speed? NIce  . Dont they only offer 3mbps upstream?

ok. I'll try it out.

I dont really get those wizards.

I see 404 too. try pasting the pic in here.

actually I already found it and installed it, but how do I use it? thanks.

thats pretty cool, how can I get it?

Sorry, I dont know much about Satilite internet, that what I heard from my freind.
