GEN-5 Speed faster than advertised
I ran a speed test using a utility different than HughesNet's and got the same excellent results. Notice the test results from a year ago of GEN-4 which I considered pretty good at the time. I just u...
I'm wondering what to expect for RSS on G5. I used to get 170-ish with G3 on a clear day and I get 130-140 with G4 since I'm only 35 miles west of beam center. If I see 95 with G5, I'll know to have him try again.
I use my computer for business only. I've been very happy with the FX-6300 since I got it 2½ years ago so I don't know anything about a controversy. I did have to RMA the Asus motherboard right away because of a bad USB 3 port. I got it from Newegg and they always do advance RMA for me so I was down for the time it took me to change the parts. I think I have a couple more years before I have to start researching a new CPU. The less I know, the happier I am
Yes, the Samsung SSD is great. I have the 850 PRO 512GB and I love it. Sammy stuff is good stuff. We have a ton of it here. The most amazing thing about the SSD is how quickly it boots a W7 computer. I'll never go back to a normal drive for a boot drive.
*coughs* I am almost center of beam and sitting at 102 at this moment, but most all day have been at 95... Weather conditions all day today, crystal clear sunny skies. As far as the dish passes OVT and works, not much anyone can do to force the installer to peak any higher. But, if you are close to being center of beam on J1, you are probably closer to edge of beam on J2, and vice verse.

We're solid overcast with massive cumulonimbus coming in off the gulf tonight so my signal is low.
I'm right where I put the yellow dot in Western, NY. Not in the center of the beam, but still not a bad placement. My RSS is sitting at 99 right now, but it's overcast. I also don't know where my Gateway is to know what the weather is like. Wherever ROS is. Roswell, NM?
I may be wrong but I think you all up north get lower signal by default just because you're farther away.
Yes, I think there's a Roswell gateway on Gwalk's map. Looks like beautiful weather in Roswell tonight.

On his map there's one in Albuquerque, but not Roswell. There're most likely Gateways for Gen5 that aren't on that map, though.
There are a few Jupiter II only gateways that aren't on that map... I happen to be on one of them, and Gabe happens to be on another one of them it seems.
