Yea, but satellite would be available everywhere in http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r10370939 en Thu, 26 Nov 2009 02:32:56 EDT Thu, 26 Nov 2009 02:32:56 EDT Who did you pay off to get that kind of speed? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10487890 bob433 : 2004-06-01 12:54:17 EST: 264 / 15 Your download speed : 270817 bps, or 264 kbps. A
33 KB/sec transfer rate. Your upload speed : 15866 bps, or 15 kbps.

This is my standard. upon purchase and near renegotiation I got 3-4 times better but never above 128 Kb/sec d/l, within a month of my new 2 year slavery contract speed dropped dramatically, no more laughing at cable guys about my d/l speeds. 3 am and I get almost double on burst but d/ling a patch from their website while on the phone with useless support i got 7KB/sec, dude didn't know what to say... silence from their end and the "Please test every 4 hours and forward the results please." line they use to make you bugger off for a while.

I meant upload isn't any better than dial-up.


You are correct. Uploads do suck. ;)
I'll be happy if the only thing Spaceway does is improve the upload speed!

I meant upload isn't any better than dial-up. It takes just as long to send a 1 MB email with satellite as with dial-up. VPN's isn't supposed to work well, either. So using it for staying in touch with the office isn't that great. That being the case, it's hard for me to justify the high price for the service.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10371139 Sat, 29 May 2004 15:17:16 EDT Re: Yea, but satellite would be available everywhe http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10370949 Rfsjr2 :

They can't do anything about ping times, but they need to increase upload times over what's available now through DirecWay to make it a useful service. It's no better than dial-up now.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10370939 Sat, 29 May 2004 14:41:48 EDT
