    My repoint to ES17 is done.  Promising for sure.

     

    As speeds can always go up and down on a whim, I will ride this for a week ro two before I say it is fixed for sure but apepars we should be good to go.

     

    Before the installer came over I had a about 1Mbps down.... and after, they are 24 and 17Mbps so far.

     

    What appears to have suffered in the switch back to ES17 is uploads so far.  I was getting better 2Mbps before the installer came over and now getting between 800K and 1Mbps.  I can live with that.  ;-)  

     

    So... so far so good.  Thanks Hughes for getting things back on track.

Hi folks,

 

Update from engineering regarding beam 55. They are planning on making network adjustments to your beam this Saturday. Please monitor your system performance after that and let us know how it goes. This adjustment is just one step of several other action items on the horizon to address your speed concerns.

 

Your patience and understanding are much appreciated.
