Satellite capacity, video streaming and other meanderings
OK, did some simple math here, please correct me if I made any errors. 1. Echostar 19 has been advertised as having "up to" 220 Gbps throughput: http://spacenews.com/atlas-5-launches-echostar-19/...
I'd actually be pretty good with 10Mbps, as well. Other than large file downloads taking a bit longer, nothing I do would be impacted in any way with a speed of 10Mbps. With most web pages, whether I get 47Mbps or 5Mbps, I don't see much difference.
I remember when I first ordered Gen4 I was thinking that I'd be very happy to get 60% of my up to (10Mbps or 15Mbps (can't remember for sure)) speed, and when my first test gave me 20Mbps I was floored. Nah, something's wrong, it can't be that high. I then got the same result, over and over. I was VERY happy. LOL. Then it kicked up to 30Mbps about six months later. Even better! Too bad it didn't make those darn Windows updates any faster. They were SOOOOO slow. Gen5 took care of that problem.
Personally would never upgrade just because of stupid Windows slow updates. I'd use the offline updater first. http://www.wsusoffline.net/docs/ http://download.wsusoffline.net/
Windows 10 is a giant piece of brown excrement IMO.
As you know, you're not the only one that feels that way. For what I use it for Windows 10 is fine, though I do have W8.1 on my notebook becuase it's just too "weak" to run well with Windows 10.
And I just recently discovered an easy way to stop the auto updates in Windows 10 (though you have to have Pro or better) and make it like the Windows updates in my notebook (notify, but don't download until I say so), so that's not an issue anymore. Now if they'd just stop that "telemetry." Ugh.
