Something new here..... downloads currently running like a bad dialup
connection - around 25 kb/sec.

Signal strength 90, not fapped, it was fine this morning.

Don't think I can stand to listen to the distorted "music" on the
phone for 30 minutes while I wait. Anybody got any ideas? Anybody
else having trouble?

What happened to the preferential treatment business customers used
to get?

Uhhhh..... what's the MAX possible upload speed?

March 5th, 10:03PM - 35/468 kbps
March 5th, 09:47PM - 32/341 kbps
March 5th, 09:41PM - 45/583 kbps
March 5th, 09:38PM - 22/2827 kbps
March 5th, 09:27PM - 23/616 kbps

Those are down/up numbers, not up/down. Yep - Hughes' speed test
showed 2827 kbits/sec upload.... That's nice. Download is still
in the dumper.

Problem elevated to TIER 4 support. They'll get back to me some
time in the next THREE days.

Well, things just went back to normal about five minutes ago.
Haven't a clue why, though - no word from any of the "Tier 4"
folks.

Hughes speed test now showing around 1100 kbps down and 150 up.

One of life's many mysteries, I suppose.

Those are definitely strange numbers.

Do you have the TX and RX cables swapped? BIG BIG :-)

Tell them if they don't get back to you in 3 days
you're requesting a static IP address so that you
can host a porn site! With those upload figures you
can make this baby pay its way! :-)

UPDATE!

"Tier 4" lady called me at work today. I told her things had
straightened out last night, she seemed surprised. "Are you
sure it's ok now?" she asked. Duhhhhh...... She said something
about it fixing itself. Sure.

I continue to be impressed.

Oh well, I have had better service than you have apparently had. But I do
have to admit there are times when the downloads are slow, but mostly they
seem ok.
