New to Gen 5 see no difference from Gen 4
Did some testing starting a 5:30Am here and speeds look good but the charts where terrible. This last one was at 8am do see what it looked like when I went from bonus to regular time. IF I had this dat flow on a regular basis even if the speed dropped during peak I would be very happy.
Unfortuanely this is the exception NOT the rule. The rates during a single run of the test are usually all over the map, typically over 80% variance. As a process engineer I would say the system is NOT under control. Not sure whre the data is controlled but would expect it to be at the main office not local. So I suspect the tech will not be able to do much except maybe point me to a better Sat.
Can one of the techs on here explain how the data is supposed to be controlled? I really don't care to see bursts over 100MB when it next drops to 5MB even if it gives me a 30MB average. This seems like it would be jacking everybodys data rates around.
Tech was out today and I am very pleased witht he test results. My concern now is the signal strength used to be 111 but now is only 85. I hope I don't lose the internet everythime it rains. Gen 4 was well abobe 100 as well and I never lost internet even with the big tunderheads. Dish TV on the other hand was in and out everytime it rained. I will keep you posted but marking this issue closed for now. If anyone has comments regarding the reliablity during storms when starting out at 85 I would like to hear.
Thanks all.
Thanks for the update Terry, glad to hear your speeds are back up! Feel free to post back in the community if you have other concerns.
