Things will most likely slow down for many of us regardless the time with the kiddies home. They love downloading, streaming, you name it.

If I am not mistaken, you are on a beam that had Ultra, so it's probably less congested than mine... Mine's one of the baddies because of how few have access to landline solutions.

Mine's in the crawl phase right now, as well.  I don't think I could watch a GIF.  LOL.

While I currently have Ultra it is no longer offered in my Zip so I can only assume that some saturation has occurred.

Makes you wonder if perhaps Beams are not further subdivided in to "cells" or some thing to define an even smaller geographical location as Ultra was offered not by beam but by address/zip code?

I've seen that thing dozens of times, but it still makes me laugh.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy New Year! I'm personally not so positive about 2017. Guess we'll see.

Business as usual for Beam 55 at 8-ish PM. I can't believe they're still selling this beam.

At least the new top of the line plan is ridiculously expensive. I can't imagine anybody paying $130 for 20 GB Anytime.



Edit: Definitely business as usual. Go to off-peak hours and it's blazing fast. Way above plan speed while peak is "draw a chalk line around it to see when it moves". All the kids being home have no effect.

Me, either.

Thinking of usage ... there has to be a bunch on new game consoles and other toys all trying to connect and update.

I just now got around to entering the wireless password for my Wife's iPad. It has not been connected since I changes routers a few months back.

Time to see how big of a dent it makes.
