After nearly two months of slow speeds; going thru all the channels of support; talking to level 3 & finally placed in engineering hands I was contacted by a local installer who is coming out in a couple days sent by Dway (billed to Dway) to check out my problem.  My speeds for over a month were good in the morning but dial up speeds at nite.  Last couple weeks they've been somewhat better.
With these guys coming out they are going to check out my system & equipment.  I'm presently on Satmex 5 at 117 W 970 MHz.  If I have the option of a repoint my question is which a better sat to be pointed to?  I don't want to be repointed to more problems. 
Any help is appreciated.   ;)

"The world is like a ride at an amusement park.  And when you choose to go on it, you think its real because thats how powerfull our minds are.  And the ride goes up and down and round and round.  It has thrills and chills, and its very brightly coloured , and its very loud and its fun, for a while.  Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question - is this real, or is this just a ride?  And other people have remembered, and they come back to us.  They say, 'Hey! Dont worry, dont be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride.'

most likely IA8....some are posting good speeds 24/7 others say it slows down some in the evenings. YOur dish is now pointing at 117 other than 127 (Horizons-1) all the other sats are to the left of your current pointing. If you get IA8 thats at 89 degrees.

My first re point didn't workout because of trees... here is good site to check out for pointing

I guess the question is kind of an oxymoron....I wouldn't have Dway at all if something else was available but it's not.  It is better than dial up most of the time anyway.  Being that what it is I just wonder if I can switch from Satmex 5 what the best sat would be to go to.

actually Dway will pre-select the re-point satellite....you do not get a choice other than to stay on your current point.

Never thought about that.....you are right.  Well, maybe they'll give me a pretty good option other than where I am now.  Thanks for the input.
