Interesting. I guess it goes to show YMMV. I have no issues downloading POC content, as long as I download items individually and do it before 8 am.

Not a true/fair comparison...I have seen your download speeds!  Much much much much much much much better than ours.  We reside in the black hole on the west coast.

    It's not a comparison but a statement -- YMMV due to a great number of variables, including geography.

    Sorry, part of your statement was a comparison from my viewpoint: Me saying I am unable to download reliably vs. you - "I have no issues downloading POC content...". 

     

    I think it has been demonstrated through testing and data that my HNS experience and system performance is not nearly as good as yours - not by a long shot.  Nothing personal here...just facts.  If we got your performance at our location,  then I wouldn't be posting here on a support forum. 

     

    Yes, I agree that it is most likely due to our overcrowded beam, our lack of access to Jupiter 2,  being merely Gen4, and having decided to live in the HNS black hole (and whole knows what else that has not be determined).  Believe me we definitely understand that.

    I wrote "Interesting. I guess it goes to show YMMV. I have no issues downloading POC content, as long as I download items individually and do it before 8 am."  No comparison with your statement.  Everyone's experience with POC is different, varied.

    Yes. Mileage. Varies.

    Wow.  Okay.  Hmmm.   

     

    Hey, one could pretty much replace "POC" in that statement above with just about anything and you would hit it out of the support forum park pretty much every time.  

     

    "Yes. Mileage. Varies. "

     

    Your point in posting this helpful hint on my thread documenting our woes is...somehow...lost on me.  Thanks for trying though.
