CA3LE Posted March 8, 2011 CID Share Posted March 8, 2011 I get such weird speeds at my house. On Verizon Wireless, Droid X... I can only get this speed in one specific place in my living room. 1MB burst larger test size and upload My backyard I think it has to do with the mountain I'm on. Does anyone know about a mountains effects on radio signals. ... And at my old place, in September I'm on WiFi when I'm at home so I don't mind that much... but I am curious if the terrain could be at fault.

xs1 Posted March 9, 2011 CID Share Posted March 9, 2011 I would deffinatly consider it a terrain issue. I've never experenced flux'd speeds via wifi on any isp ive been thru yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeddlar Posted January 31, 2012 CID Share Posted January 31, 2012 LOL, I realise this is an older thread but I figured since I got Verizon and have this pecliar thing going on I would post. I have the LG Vortex which is a great phone but I live caught between 3 w signal outskirts with the closest being a smaller tower 4.5 miles from the house and on the other side of a large hillside comparable in size to the one I live on. Outside pointed at this tower I go from no bars at 1x to 2 bars at 3G depending on where on the farm I am standing, In the house the best I can get by staning in front of a window and pointing my phone at that tower is 2 bars 3G, in the rest of the house I get1 bar 3G or less....But if I set my phone on the output tray of my printer right here beside me, I get 3 bars with no fluctuations in service what so ever. Go figure, LOL. I just signes up for the verizon MIFI from Millenicom and am hoping the modem does the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeddlar Posted February 5, 2012 CID Share Posted February 5, 2012 Well the Hughesnet is a gonner and my hotspot modem from Millenicom is getting a full signal here and service is pretty decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
