Basil Posted November 12, 2007 CID Share Posted November 12, 2007 so i have wildblue and was wondering if there was a thing i could do to tweek my computer to make this slow bleep move a little faster? There are at least three "flavors" of WildBlue. Which one do you have? Run a speed test and post results here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted November 12, 2007 CID Share Posted November 12, 2007 There you go. About the only thing that helps most is a clean computer. http://www.testmy.net/t-4257 But like he said, post a speed test. And use the 2992 test for best accuracy.

sorrydishes Posted November 17, 2007 CID Share Posted November 17, 2007 WILD BLUE has not been dependable for me where I live. Most of the time my speeds run below 200 Kbps each evening for more than 7 hours. Today its a little better but up and down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
