The REO Lounge - Part III

[MamaTried]

Good morning, REOvil!


Here in the sticks...

your internet is over satellite, right? that explains a lot.

ookla lets you pick the server to connect to. they don't always find the closest one. but if you're on satellite i dunno.

i downloaded the ookla app to my iphone, temporarily disabled wifi to force the iphone to use the cell network:
Test Date: Dec 28, 2013 12:53 PM
Download: 2.14 Mbps
Upload: 0.18 Mbps
Ping: 132 ms
Connection Type: Cellular
Server: Auburn, CA


if i get spunky later, i'll hook up the Straight Talk hotspot thingie and test that.

45mb a sec is smoking dude

I have only gotten that once. The normal for me now is 15 on download and 5 on upload. On my roadrunner it's around 3 down and .5 up.

Hey everybody i am back with windstream and moved back to my home.

clicks heels there is no place like HOME

I can't handle living anywhere else. I will live my life in my house and never willingly leave it again!


here is my slower than bright house speed test btw windstream has its own speedtest?

here is ookla speedtest

For those wanting a truly ACCURATE internet speed test.....try Shaper Probe.....it yields a MUCH more reliable diagnosis than the Flash/Java based programs....
We have Comcast as our ISP (it's the only game in town....Verizon FIOS is blocked out of the area....) and since I need access to high-resolution weather maps and real-time data streams....I have Comcast's Extreme 105 speed tier (105Mbps down/20Mbps up).
Using Shaper Probe I consistently get ~115-120down and ~21-23 up....
Kinda pricey ($100/mo.) but if you download hi-res maps/data....it's necessary....
My sympathies to any who are FORCED by local tariff/topography to rely on internet via satellite....
Happy (vaping) Trails!

 

[PapawBrett]

I did the ookla speed test and still have no idea what any of it means....

Trunker says I should have no problems sale night, that I can understand

 

[Sterno]

is that satellite peg ?

 

[FEEDER]

We're simple folk over here, my internet speed depends on how fast my DW cranks the modem handle

is that satellite peg ?

Hi Scott, i get it through a phone line and a modem. I watch netflix with it.

It is the only thing available here because the trees are too many to get satellite and the cable company is old and all the lines are old.

I am happy

I was looking for a multimeter like this one if possible.

I believe it has a 510 connection on it (where the rda is in the picture), and would still be used for checking the voltage of other items around the house.

Hi Reonauts

my name is Marita and I'm from Germany (so forgive my English-mistakes ^^)

I've got 2 Grands and a 2.1 so far and number 4 with milled CC is planned yet

On my babies I'm using 2 VA Cyclones, a Divo and on my Sun-Box M7 a Hornet with Microcoils.

Greetings Marita

i remember that post. i think he modded an off-the-shelf with a 510 connector.
