Input on EXCEED sat internet in Northern Baja
I would like anyone with personal experience with EXCEED sat internet in Northern Baja to tell me what they think of it. We are at Gonzaga Bay.
Please no BS or conjecture...just the facts...how fast, how reliable, how much $$, how did the installer from either Ensenada or San Felipe do? etc.
Thanks.
BB:-)

After 35 years in the IT biz, the big word is, latency.
Due to the physics, it takes to much time to send the signal up back down, back up and back down again.
This causes an data error and plays hell on streaming.
Word processing and web browsing is fine.

In San Nicolas Julio Issac was supposed to be here Tuesday the 17.
I was gone and got back Saturday afternoon the 21st. He still had not been here.
But he showed up Sunday morning and had all 3 of us up and running by nightfall.
He is really harried now as he is the only installer in Mulege and everyone is pulling at him to get to their places.
He is a nice guy and has been doing this type of work since 1997.

They are saying a maximum of 300 installations.
Since people start off with a 10 gig limit, that should work just fine.
In my opinion, 10 gig is way to little. If people started upgrading their plan to say about 50 gig, that would make the load the equal to about 1,500
customers at 10 gig.
I just picked 50 gig because I think that's the minimum when you have a decent speed. Use your own "gestimate".

I'll bet he'll be a lot happier when/if the second installer arrives. I am amazed with the number of systems he's installed in our area and I haven't
heard one complaint. I'm not upset really. I know it'll get done and my snail system is working.

Everyone's usage habits are different.
I don't do movies and very little You Tube, but lots of research, no games, cloud storage, video chat, Skype telephone service, cloud print and sync
across all my desktop, laptops and tablets.
In the states I use a Verizon 4G wireless hotspot with a 5gig monthly plan.
I normally stay within this sometimes adding a gig or 2. I have bumped up to the 10 gig plan for very busy periods. 50 gigs without using streaming
would be way beyond. If you stream alot it may be not enough.

The answer is yes, but it depends who is on and what they are doing. If they are streaming, then it will take up more bandwidth
Cable Modems are similar. You normally have 4 folks tied to a pedestal the have to share the bandwidth

actually that's not what slows it down...
its called "throttling" (sp)
them company slows the speed at their server on the ground
the sat can only accept so much data at a time
the company could over sell the service at any time
then ...like hughes...it could get slow
don't be fooled

We Have Exceed at our Get Away place in Far East San Diego County . We have the basic plan O $ for the install O $ equipment rent because we have
ben a long time customer of Direct TV. It has ben up and running for 6 mos. When we stay up there most of the month we get the notice we are
approaching the maximum limit
As far as performance it's every thing the say it should be.
As soon as I locate a Dish it will be at my house down here I may have to purchase more plan but that's ok.
