There are at least three "flavors" of WildBlue. Which one do you have? Run a speed test and post results here.

There you go. About the only thing that helps most is a clean computer.

But like he said, post a speed test. And use the 2992 test for best accuracy.  Very Happy

WILD BLUE has not been dependable for me where I live. Most of the time my speeds run below 200 Kbps each evening for more than 7 hours. Today its a little better but up and down.
