Thank you for the advice. I will do a traceroute on the personal site and dropbox. Both locations are secure connections so it might be a latency issue.

I have a roommate that is a professional photographer and she has been trying to upload files to dropbox and her personal website. In both cases she is continuing to get connection timeouts. We have tried uploading at different times of the day. During bonus time and through out the normal day. Every time it will try to up load the pictures and time out. When we do one photo at a time it takes 7min to upload a 15mb file. I have been testing my connection and I am getting 2mbps or better for upload speed. My DSL has not been disconnected yet and when I try the same file at 1mbps on DSL it uploads in 1min. Also if we upload the ten files the connection does not time out and treads the files accordingly. Why does the dish not maintain a constant connection once established to the site that we are uploading to?

Is the congestion really that bad? All day I was getting down speeds between 35 to 49mbps and 2 to 4 mbps up. Then between that 6 to 10pm pacific time period I only get 1 to 4 mbps down and 2 to 4 mbps up. I am new to this service, so I am not sure what to expect. I move from a place where I had a fiber connection with 100 mpbs down and 100 mbps up and it never really fluctuated. So this is a big change for me. This is the sacrifice for living in the country. I am hoping Wave communication will have their new DSL lines out my way in the next couple years and I get a more dedicated speed. The hardest part about this is that I am paying more for a service that is less than what I was getting. The fiber line I was only paying $50 a month for.

I turned off VDS and on my router I set the Apple TV to be the priority device during this time so it is not competing with any other devices. This seemed to help. I will keep an eye on it.

Yesterday I notices some issues when I was streaming on my apple TV in the evening between 5pm and 10pm when I went to bed. Last night I did a speed test before I went to bed and I was getting 1.5mbps. This morning I did a test at 6am I was getting 49mbps. I then check my speed about every two hours and I got between 39 and 45mbps all day. I was only using my PC to do work and to stream music. At 6pm I fired up the Apple TV. From that point on I was getting 1.5mbps. Even after I stopped streaming I could never get above 2.5mbps. Why would I have such a drop in bandwidth when I go to use my video streaming services?
