sparky Posted February 1, 2009 Author CID Share Posted February 1, 2009 Why are the upload images not displaying??? weird. Let me get the text version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted February 1, 2009 CID Share Posted February 1, 2009 Actually there is a DSL slam I believe its called, 2 city blocks from my house. Its just a matter of them thinking its worth it to bring it on down. I even asked what would it cast to have it run on down? Nope when they are good and ready. And not until. Typical AT&T.

sparky Posted February 1, 2009 Author CID Share Posted February 1, 2009 Ok, I have to use the text version, the upload images are not showing for some reason or another. :::.. Upload Stats ..::: Upload Connection is:: 494 Kbps about 0.5 Mbps (tested with 1496 kB) Upload Speed is:: 60 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (Main) Test Time:: 2009/01/31 - 10:01pm Bottom Line:: 9X faster than 56K 1MB Upload in 17.07 sec Tested from a 1496 kB file and took 24.796 seconds to complete Upload Diagnosis:: May need help : running at only 36.38 % of your hosts average (verizon.net) U-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-UKAQD2804 User Agent:: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120122 Firefox/3.0.5 [!] My pack is a 3Mbps Down and 500Kbps Up. Upload is the same as the EV-DO but the download is like doing 1 Mb every 2.2 seconds or something like that. I am happy with it, but not my Xbox 360, I signed up for Xbox live and it red ringed of death on me YET AGAIN, man I am pissed off right now with Micro$oft.

sparky Posted February 1, 2009 Author CID Share Posted February 1, 2009 Verizon did what they called MidWays, they are basically range expander's and I did not believe them when they said I could get it, heard that one many times before. When we got home there was a message on the answer phone, I about fell over and ran to check the light on the modem, it was on! I am finally out of the dark ages, I just hope you will be too.

tommie gorman Posted February 1, 2009 CID Share Posted February 1, 2009 Cheaper too isn't it? I pay $60 for the EVDO. Same as the sat setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky Posted February 1, 2009 Author CID Share Posted February 1, 2009 I am paying $31 a month plus taxes, its getting cheaper as I go.. Sat was $63 and more EV-DO was $43 plus tax Verizon is $31 plus tax Maybe I can get cable now for $10? lol.... I would love FIOS, but I kind of figure I am about 15 years behind the big cities, so I am not going to hold my breath on that coming anytime soon.

zalternate Posted February 2, 2009 CID Share Posted February 2, 2009 Some up to date ones.. http://www.consumeraffairs.com/internet/hughes.html People just love that FAP policy. But after 3 or 4 hours of software updates and YouTube, they always wonder why the connection gets so slow... But I read a post on another place about how an installer needed all the account information from the new users setup. For access to the users account. http://www.wildblue.cc/wbforums/showthread.php?t=7590 Which he should 'Not' need. But there are rumors for a couple of years, that people are paying for the one unit while two are being used.. Mystery bandwidth usage, even when the users modem is powered down and unplugged for 3 or 4 days. And not always an issue with a delayed FAP meter.
