My signal strenth pretty much stays at 89% I do see at 91% time to time. Here is my speed test:

After veiwing some of the signal strenths here I feel pretty lucky. One trick I have learned is to keep the sat waxed with a good car wax!
However I do have a question. To recieve a stronger signal will the satellite need to be moved? Is the any other options to recieve a stronger signal?
Thanks Mike (Louisiana)

I am using the older two way modems. DW-4000 I think. One trick I have learned was to wax the dish with a car wax.
However, I am intrested in how to up my signal strenth.

I have the older Modems. I think the D-4000 2-way. I have been looking for a cheaper service. I am to afraid to swap because of the speed I have now. The research I have done shows Direcway to be the best option for Sat internet. This is just my opinion.
However I would love to recieve advice on how to get better signal strenth.... Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Mike (Louisiana)
