Internet speed test

While downloading music and using my crappy B band network adapter. I'll try later with nothin running and using an ethernet cable

A little better than Irag ... but not much.

Well ... as a comparison, it's no cable, but it is better.

Home on two way satellite. If it was consistently those numbers I'd be happy. Wireless is coming in the next month or so thankfully.

 
Here's work:

I miss Hughes!

We got switched to Xplore from Hughes about 6 weeks ago and the connection has sucked ever since. UP and down like a yo-yo, lots of drop outs, etc., etc. Signal is down to about half what it was too.

:(

Can you run a line to my house please?
Well, it's not as good as the numbers would suggest. We have about 600 employees and then we rent out a portion to the Space Agency and National Defence so they suck up some bandwidth too.

I'm not complaining... :) Just sayin' the effect is not as good as the numbers would suggest.

I just had it installed, so I really have not formed an opinion yet. It's good to hear you had good experience with them. So far I am satisfied. I really wish I had wired broadband available out here where I live, but I guess that is the price I'll have to pay for my privacy.

FWIW, for surfing NAXJA Hughes is great! ;)

Where it sucked was anything requiring encrypted type data transfers. For every packet sent an acknowledge is sent. Speed of light is "slow"; takes time to go to the satellite and back again.

Online banking mostly sucked but was tolerable.

I do a lot of ssh into servers at work... It sucked. Type a character and wait...

VPN would suck too but I never tried it.
