Update On Broadband Troubles

Well! HughesNet technician finally showed up this week. All the way from Pagosa Springs, Colorado.

It turns out, after they did some realigning of our satellite dish, that the satellite we are on is getting crowded and the signal strength has diminished by 20%.

HughesNet says they have put up another satellite that works on an updated dish and modem, but not with the one we have. To switch would mean a new dish and modem for a bunch of bucks more.

Oh well! Maybe I will just let everyone else change over to the new satellite dish and perhaps the overcrowding on my dish/satellite will diminish and the signal strength will strengthen, huh?

Someone sent me a link to check my speed of our internet connection.

Did you know that USA is far behind in signal strength of broadband connection. What can we do about that?

The results of my internet speed test are listed below! Check out this site and take the speed test for yourself. Let us know what your broadband connection tested at and where.

On another note... How did the Freedom Old Cowhand Reunion, Shootout & Biggest Open Rodeo turn out this weekend? Send of some of your photos to share with everyone.
