HAVING TROUBLE WITH STARBAND - ANYONE ELSE?
The last couple of days our starband has been really spotty - today it's been awful. Most of the time I get a "website not available" message. The
Nomad site is one of the 2 or 3 that appears with no problem. Anybody else having problems?

Our Starband's been working fine Linda, have you tried to use different computers to see if its a hardware/software issue maybe?

Do you know which cluster you are on? Sometimes one of the clusters will have a problem and HQ will have to straighten it out. Do you know how to
check your signal strength in skymanage? Your signal strength should be atleast a 5 or you will start losing lights on the modem. Check your strength
and let me know what it is.

All I know is Starband has been slow as molasses in January... Very frustrating! From what I hear Hughes isn't any great shakes either!

Mystery solved - thanks all. It seems we were fapped - trying to send a large file through dropbox. Even though we were under the limit of bandwidth
use, things were really slowed down. Cancelled the upload a couple of days ago and dropbox was still trying to send it.....^%$#@*!" program.....
