    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.

Well, whoever told you Montana was wrong. If you are truly on Beam 10, that gateway is in Cheyenne, Wyoming. And, by "bad weather" they mean monsoon-levels of rain, so also not what you think.

 

Please stop with the hyperbole.

Ugh, I should have noticed that (the gateway location).  I guess when there's so much nonsense it just starts running together and separate things are no longer seen (at least by me :p).
