Depending on which site, I got speeds varying from a low of 13K/3.5K to a high of 24.5/3.1K.

Danged if I know what it all means.

Better than hauling bits in a bucket but not by much, WildBlue underdelivers again:



But, some of this may be my wireless. The router is 375 feet away at the wellhouse, hanging under the eave in Ziploc freezer bag. Between the marginal antenna placement and this Faraday Cage of a house, I'm only getting about 40-50% signal strength.

I have a new open source wireless router with a 9dB gain antenna just waiting for me to install...
