Excede Internet for Russ

Russ - 3-27-2015 at 03:42 PM

Issac just finished installing my system.
Hughes Net speed test


Excede Speed Test

Haven't been able to get the router to work yet but I will eventually. Service is snappy. Hit enter and snap you're connected.
Working on setting up billing info and new user name and pass word.







edit: Issac warned me the new dish is really flimsy and should be taken down during extreme wind. I told him I want the upgraded dish when they come out. I'm sure as hell not climbing a ladder and try to manhandle the dish in the wind. That's just stupid!

More later....

so...when are you canceling hughesnet?

I had to change out the little blue wireless to a black one to make the wireless work correctly

now I have a "download limiting" wireless arriving to replace that

I don't have the wireless working so those that share my service are still on Hughes. After that I think I'll put Hughes on vacation thru Sept. If Exede handles the storm season I'll drop Hughes.

check you usage here...
https://my.exede.net/dashboard
I would check several times a day until you are comfortable with you downloading

your "normal" daily limit is 0.3 with a the 10gig plan

you get a little more this month because you "started" a little late in the month...

on the 20th you pay again even if 30 days are not completed

My account gets/got paid today. I noticed it yesterday and did all my upgrades. 6G's. Now it shows I'm back to 0 used. I had tried it with Hughes and it never worked. In Laguna on my sisters I did my lap to and it took about 3 hours. On Excede it took an hour. I'll be working on the wireless connection today.

I wish you guys well! The thought of getting rid of Hughes Net AND TelCel banda ancha would give me goose bumps of joy.

Russ, glad to see you are back. Now we can get some on the beach reports re Excede.Nice pics too, Beckitos and Cochi

OOPS ! I didn't get iPhoto updated and I couldn't open it because it now requires the updated version. Much bigger than I thought.

I am very surprised at how small the dish is. It looks like a Directv dish. Probably be a good idea to mount it in a semi wind protected location, like the side of a wall not above the roof line. I originally asked Osiris how large the dish was and he replied that it was a 4 meter dish, now I see that he meant a .4 meter dish. The speeds you guys are reporting are incredible, puts my Starband to shame, which isn't saying much. I think I see an Exede system in my future.
Isaac suggested you take the dish down to protect it from the wind? How did he propose that you re-aim it when the wind stops?

I just noticed I was billed $67.40, I guess that is the monthly service.

chivatojoe - 3-28-2015 at 12:26 PM

probably pro rated for this part of March and then the month of April. It is only $60.00 @ month. I'm bringing down 5 more unit Monday for Issac and then 10 next week. So if anybody wants one speak up and you should be able to get fast service....:bounce::bounce:
