fjordmann Posted June 6, 2010 CID Share Posted June 6, 2010 Newbie to testmy.net but four year veteran with Wild Blue. Turtle speeds, bad customer service, etc. reside in southeastern Michigan and using Apple OS X and Airport Extreme to serve a range of laptops and desktops in the home. Like many, have no real alternative so finally upgraded by package last year - moderate speed bump for a while, but now it's barely any better than it was before the upgrade. any suggestions or resources you know of that would help bump speed in my situation will be really appreciated. This is my current test result on a Sunday afternoon...this is the best it gets; if it was 10PM it could be half this. :::..

I mean why pay for crap speeds any more than one has to. IMO of course. And welcome to the foum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savana Posted August 28, 2010 CID Share Posted August 28, 2010 I think it is always better to get some packages that are beneficial in terms of services and everything. There are many broadband service providers and all have different way of providing services in packages, we have to look what we can better get.
