tommie gorman Posted October 26, 2006 CID Share Posted October 26, 2006 what are you on? 1/128? 1/256? It is satelite, we don't have real speeds like the rest of you. Heck I have 500/50 myself. I don't think I hardly see that low on theD/L. And I seldom see the U/L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granpa Posted October 26, 2006 CID Share Posted October 26, 2006 Tommie, Right now I'm on my chair and not very fast yet, or may not get fast today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted October 26, 2006 CID Share Posted October 26, 2006 One thing about satelite I really don't understand. The others are controlled by distance and such. But it seems all satelite should be about the same. Except for advertised speeds of course. Just my thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granpa Posted October 26, 2006 CID Share Posted October 26, 2006 From what I have been reading there are some control over the land lines. My daughter lived in Ca for 7 years and had dsl. A few time I was on the phone with her and had her test at the same time I did and her speeds were slower. Remember that we have a large jump to cover even before we get to any land lines.

tommie gorman Posted October 26, 2006 CID Share Posted October 26, 2006 So true, that is why in overseas speed tests we do fairly well. It is not much farther there from space. I call that jump jet lag. Yeah, a 2 second delay I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

granpa Posted October 27, 2006 CID Share Posted October 27, 2006 tommie, My signal has been 75 to 79 lately but with all the bad weather my last xpol was 55. I may tweak the dish when I get a nice day, looks like possibly tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted October 27, 2006 CID Share Posted October 27, 2006 Damned these smileys are cute. Slower try using the 2992 file test straight up. I get better speeds with it instead of the smart test. In fact on my U/L test I get faster just using the 579 test straight up. Grandpa, I seldom check. It appears to be @ 52 signal strength.

I have noticed since my upgrade from the 4000 that I have been down around 45 signal strength and still browsing like nothing was wrong, just a bit slower.

tommie gorman Posted October 27, 2006 CID Share Posted October 27, 2006 Hey slower, I AM on the consumer "El Cheapo". ghostmaster says my speeds have something to do with the transponder or something like that.

granpa Posted October 29, 2006 CID Share Posted October 29, 2006 Just went out to see if the Sunday paper came yet and the wind almost blew me into the ditch, no paper and nothing down the road as if it would still be there. I came in and checked the clock and should be time, I turned on the PC and my time is an hour behind on the screen. So I thought I better check and see if that 30+ MPH wind is blowing my signal away. :::..
