Well, I did it, but I don't know if it was good or bad.
How do you know? Nothing tells you.

From the site they recommended, download speed was 1225;
upload 476.
From another one I picked, download speed was 3113,
upload 486.
I don't know how fast I am to be downloading according to my
ISP. Where do I find that information?

The isp promotes their access speed, but as you can see, upload and download are two different speeds. If you were in Tulsa, and you had Cox as a ISP, and you are paying for the 9 mghz service, and you are doing downloads at 4000k and uploads at under 1200, then you are paying for a service you are not getting.
I noticed some of the people here talking about dial up. And some of the dial up services brag about their compression accelerators that allow a 56k modem to upload or down load at speeds reaching those of dsl. This is a way to check it. Even if the modem is 56k, oftentimes mediocre or old copper lines are "dirty" enough that it will slow the transfer rate to under 30k.
And remember, particularly if you are on dsl, your speeds will vary according to usage of the area. When dsl first came out my speed was best in the middle of the night or during the middle of the day. early evening it was as slow as dial up. But the isp's advertise their top speed capacity, not reality.

NMHighDesert,
You sure hit the nail on the head with plateau and their cell phone service. I can tell you more places where their cell phones do not work than they do.

I have the same problem, Dial up was sometimes faster than wild blue, I use my Sprint Card a lot it works when Wild Blue Doen"t. I live in a low area with no dsl, just dial up. I had several tech. out here to fix the problem, no luck. I had my computer flushed, Saved everything first. I can now say that in the last two weeks I have increased my service, 100%, from what it was. It was worth the 100.00 bucky to get rid of this agrivation, especially trying to learn how to use this here pinball machine. Try cleaning up your computer, but what ever you do let somebody that know's what they are doing, or you will loose EVERYTHING. Hope this helps. Mike Murphy website www.murphy-livestock.com
