I think your pure speed is in the 130kb/s range.

I see you're on the business plan! Congrats. Welcome to the forum too.

Mine is disabled too. Is your relative having any problems with their 6000 modem?

What modem do you have? 4000?

I was being sarcastic.

Should've gotten HughesNet instead.

That's the same speed as mine! and I have tweaks! odd..

Everyone with Wildblue has been having serious lag issues since the firmware update in November. So, I don't think he's getting the 700ms pings and complaining.

Mine gets an hour...........

Yeah, that's what you should be getting on HughesNet.

That's not bad........... for satellite.

Don't get your hopes up..

I have SatSpeed 2.3. Don't worry about installing tweaks, they don't do anything for self-hosted modems.

Well, yeah. A lot of people are sick of dial-up and buy HughesNet's little scheme. Some people are happy with it, some aren't. I wouldn't mind dial-up if we had two lines here so I didn't have to get off every time we needed to use the phone. The faster ping would be nice too.

Merry Christmas Testmy! About 20 minutes to go here.

Anyone tried this? Is it safe?

Yeah, first of all, don't shut off your modem at night unless you need to save the power. Second of all, you should probably try force ranging, sometimes that will clear up transmission errors.

Haha, you won't be happy with HughesNet for long.

Not bad this morning. Satellite signal is at 52, as well. :::..

Oh well. Merry Christmas

It's still fun posting it.

I'm on the Pro plan so it's like $70 compared to $60 for the Home (unless things have changed).

Me too. I was worried.
