[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3011226, member: 3099"] That's because it's satellite and it'll never change. They only have so much capacity and it's not like they can just throw up another tower. Keep your eyes peeled for new towers around you, cell service is vastly better than a satellite service. O/P I use Cox for internet. It's pretty smoking fast and pretty reliable too with one caveat. Get your own modem and router. I did and then I let them talk me into their super duper latest dual band kickass gateway. It's blown chunks from day one. Sometimes I have to reboot it 4 or 5 times a day and other times it'll go a week with no issues. Sometimes its streaming a HD stream on a Firestick just fine and my computer is dropped off it's channel, then I change to the other and it'll drop in a few minutes. Or not. Get your own Motorola cable modem and the biggest, baddest, multi-band router you can find. Hook all your heavy data streaming stuff up to the 5.0g side and phones, tablets, etc. to the 2.4g side.
