Re: Rain/Moisture affecting my SMBB connection
Rain and Moisture has not affected my conenction. I am a heavy user, and have used the service during a snowstorm where we got 3 inches in 2 hours...the big flake wet snow kind where you can't see your next door neighbors porch light.
I have used it during intense T-Storms where it was raining cats and dog so hard you could not see 1000 feet out. It was thundering and lightning heaviliy. It did finally go off when the electricity went out, but that was not affecting the signal...it just didn;t have any electricity to powe rit anymore.
Irt is currently extremely humid here. The visibility is 3 miles and sometimes less in thick haze. Normally I can see the Tower clearly at 2.6 miles away, but I can only faintly detect it's flashing lights right now.
In all of the above examples speedtests did not show any decrease, and during the T_Storm I was flying online where speed must be maintained at the level I had set in the simulation or it will kick you from the server.
I have not experienced any issues at all with my service except for one time my software went funky and I had to unistall and reinstall it. Another time I lost a connection for a short period, but a disconnect and reconnect quickly cured that. One thing to note is that my Tower is very HOT, and I'm fairly close to it. I get very high speeds.
Probably ther best test I have done with the service is flying my Combat Flight sims online. Nothing will test a connection harder than the sim I fly. If the connection gets weird at all it will drop you from the server. To date, I have not had any issues with being dropped at all. Speedtests are a good indicator, but real world is the best indicator. |
