Im on Xpress package in Alberta and when my connection actually works, about 1/3 of the time I need it too!! I am usually around 1200 down and 450 up which isnt bad I guess but it sucks when I am paying for 3000 down and 600 up.

First of all that is satelite, right??
If so the speeds are much better than what Hughes net get right now. But as far as getting over advertised speeds, they are a little short. I wish we had 3000/750. But at the same time I am on a 500/50 hughes and get aroud 1500/50 on mine. Have you tried the tweaking it yet? You might do better.

CamaroGuy have you read Achieve the Best Performance Out of Your Computer?
http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-4257
It should help. And if you are on sat. make sure you are grounded properly. Also try testing directly with the 2992 file test for D/L, it will give better speeds.  Wink

Hi guy's. This is my first post. I'm new with xplornet since 2 weeks and i have the 512/128 package.
I get a good speed only in the morning (around 500Kbps before 9:00am). After that, speed decrease, decrease,decrease until 90 Kbps/download.
I called xplornet several time, talk to "level 2" but nothing change.
I'm very disappointed and unhappy because the only way to get high speed in my area is satellite.
I just wonder if some of you experienced speed problems with xplornet ?.
I think i will ask a refund before my 30 days trial ends up.

 Laughing  CamaroGuy, clean out your cache (temporary files) Top of browser*Tools*Internet Options*Delete Files including Offline Content*OK*OK*test now.

Welcome to the forum jlmartin  wave Welcome! You might try cleaning it up and tweaking it before you give up first. Try reading here first and post a speed test, it will show any improvement and necessary changes or time of day.  Wink
http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-4257
By the way, I have a 500/50 satelite dway, and I get 1500/50 sometimes.  Very Happy

And those are some pretty nice speeds there pbicp, still puts my sat to shame.  Smile But I give it milk every day, so it might grow up someday.  Laughing

My computer is clean. Scanned every night with Norton and every day with Spybot and Ewido. Both prog are up to date. Nothing found in my machine. Here is the last download test :

Norton, is a resource hog. That is part of your speed slowness. Might I suggest  AVG Free, or Avast. AVG shows no apparent slow downs at all.

Now Spybot and Ewido are great, might I also suggest using Windows Defender. Another good one.

Also do you clean out your cache (temporary files) before testing?

Also try testing with the "2992 file" test instead of using the SmarTest. It will show more accurate speeds.  Very Happy
