tonyp56 Posted December 12, 2005 CID Share Posted December 12, 2005 OK, here it is, got installed on the 8th, with a 7000. I signed up for the 700Kbps download and 128Kbps upload, however I am running faster dl speed during off-peak times. 89 West and 1150 is my satellite location (whatever that is supposed to mean ) My normal DL speed is in the 500Kbps, though it has gotten down to the 128Kbps area a couple of times for short periods of time. Signal strength of 75-80 and 66-69 for my cross pole number (or whatever it is called) :::..

My upload has gotten as low as 49Kbps, but usually stays 60 or above. Anyways, lot faster than dial up, very happy with Direcway, though I have no other choices except WildBlue, but I can't afford the install cost. (I've got the 99/99 plan) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyp56 Posted December 12, 2005 CID Share Posted December 12, 2005 Anyone know why I am running faster than my plan is supposed to be. That was a suprise, I figured they'd cut me off right at 700Kbps, but I am 800 or above most of the off peak times (11 PM till about 8 AM CST). During the normal day, I stay at around 500-600Kbps, though sometimes I've been as low as 128Kbps, but only for around 2 hours or so, the rest of the time I'm at least at 400Kbps. And no, I'm not complaining, hope it stays faster, I just want to know if this will change or not. I am hoping it will not, except faster of course BTW, I live in central Oklahoma, I've got a great line of sight, but the installer said that was the best I would get with the small dish. He was shocked, he said the highest before mine was in the mid to upper 60's, anyways, does 75-80 (it jumps around) sound good, with no trees, buildings, etc. in the way? And on my cross pole number of 65-69 does that sound good for that transponder/satellite (89W 1150) and location or could I get a better number on that?

fikester Posted December 12, 2005 CID Share Posted December 12, 2005 There is no question Wildblue is faster.......hopefully the speeds will hang in there after they jam transponders to the hilt. good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
