direcvictim Posted January 24, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 24, 2005 <snip> now if I could only get the upload speed up, I'd be happy. BD51 </snip> ME TOO! That 5kbps is at 3am, I'm wondering if like me, your speed drops to 1 or 2k during peek hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YooperLady Posted January 24, 2005 CID Share Posted January 24, 2005 Please excuse my random pointless question , but what does the signal strength go up to on sat. internet? Because i know my dish outside right now ( for tv of course) gets 128 O_o. s1: Don't hold me to this, but I believe the way it works for internet satelite, is they try to get you a number closest to 100 as they can. When my satelite was first installed mine was at 91, and right now I am at 84, which is fairly good for satelite. Some people only have in the 50's and 60's and can still get around the internet well. Hope that answers your question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdaddy51 Posted January 24, 2005 CID Share Posted January 24, 2005 peak for me at my location is around 78. It hardly ever changes ,excrpt durring really bad storms. I hardly ever totally lose the connection, until the strength drops into the 50s durring heavy rain storms. Snow doesn't seem to bother it, as durring the blizard this weekend I got that 2.2Mbps test. BD51 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our satalite used to be pointed directly at an oak tree, BIG bastard it was.. We thought about calling the county to come trim it for us since we used to get about 58 -> 73 signal strenth. then we had 4 huricanes in 1 month so..... No more tree and hello 130 signal strenth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
