you're fap'ed
edit: or you have a bunch of cell phones sucking up all the bandwith
apps on cell phones are bandwith suckers...they can slow you to a crawl

Fapped just means that you may have gone over your gig allotment. Or you may have a dish pointing issue. I'm an Exede installer. What are the lights
on the modem doing? Do you lose the lights occasionally? One big issue I have noticed in some of the repairs I have done is the installer using sub
standard coax. Exede requires solid copper coax, check yours with a magnet, if it is magnetic then that could be your problem. good luck with it.

Coax is not magnetic lights are normal blink sometimes but that seams normal. It seams to happen more mid morning to late afternoon .im not the only
one having this problem. I had Hugehs before and had a simaler problem .was wondering if it might be the time of the year?Hugehs seamed to get simaler
to this in the late winter early spring. It happens when I have a full gig allotment sometimes it just will not work at all

I don't know if it is a factor in your case, but in Anchorage, satellite communications are occasionally disrupted when they are in direct alignment
with the sun.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

When I first had Exede installed I got 22 MBPS download and much better uploads. I think there are a whole lot more people on the system and
sometimes I see slowdowns during the day. if you go to :
http://www.speedtest.net/index.php
You can test the actual speeds and then see if you have an aiming issue. If it drops below 11, you either need to re-aim or replace the LNB.
I now average 16-18 tops. but where I live in Baja, it is still the best option available.

I have installed about 60 Exedes in BoLA, and the Ensenada outfit has installed another 20 or so. Of the 20 they installed I have had to go out and
replace the coax on about 5 of them because of the service dropping out. New coax, end of problem. You can check the coax by using a strong magnet and
place it against the center core of the coax at the modem end. If it is magnetic then that could be the source of the problems. Some other problems I
have found are bad modems, 1 of theirs and 3 of my installs the modem has gone bad, 1 was bad right out of the box. Several problems have been dish
alignment. A lot of the roofs down there are made with 2x4 rafters and when the dish in mounted and aimed with the tech standing on the roof the
alignment is good but when you step off the roof the alignment changes and you get a poor signal. The alignment is pretty critical. I have not yet run
across a bad eTRIA (LNB) but of course it could happen but they are expensive and to replace one without knowing that it is the cause of the problem
could be a mistake. Also if you have a wireless router in the system disconnect it and see if your problem goes away, I run into a lot of router
problems.
Again good luck with yours.

my cable is just buried in the ground...it seems to work ok...
the installer in the bay of la may have made bad connectors
we've had the system about a year...best system available for now
check your account...i'll bet you are fap'ed...even faped it's faster than hughes was
edit...oh yea larryc could be right about the wireless router..we had to dump the old one and buy a new one that was compatible

Hope you used direct burial coax, I didn't use it one time and it didn't last too long before the moisture and salt got through the outer jacket and
corroded braided shield.

We had Exede installed in Loreto about 4 weeks ago and it has been terrible. It loses connection constantly and while the down speed is generally
good between 10 - 15mbs, the up speed is terrible at less than 0.1 plus high latency of around 750 ms. Funny as it may sound, the slow up speed
actually affects your ability to download web pages as the download occurs in sequential stages that depend on the upload of requests to the page. In
addition, we hit our 10gigs after about two weeks, this without movies or other high bandwidth downloads. Don't know what's going on, but quite
dissatisfied at this point.
Living Large in Loreto. Off-grid and happy.

I have heard from another Exede user down just below Loreto and he can't get his system to work at all. When he tries to aim the dish he gets the
steady tone on the eTRIA but no signal strength on the receive meter.
ncampion, what signal strength are you getting? I suspect you are on the annik F2 sat, up in BoLA we get between 13 and 14 for signal strength.

ncampion...your problem is phones...
the running apps suck the bandwith...
and when the apps are turned off the phones still are "looking" for wifi
and sucking the "speed" (bandwith)
you need to put all phones on airplane mode until you are using them on wifi
the data can be taken by apps on the phone like weather apps
or settings on facebook (videos on automaticly) or game that use VOIP or video skype or facetime
your solution to the data download problem is get a wifi router that limits the wifi usage per day...when the router cuts you off you KNOW you are
using too much
make sure the wifi is secured and no neighbors are using your service
if its not secured people will use it and never tell you

I've got Exede at the rancho in San Nicolas between Mulege and Loreto on the Sea of Cortez side, but no hope of getting it in Lopez Mateos at the
house - on the Pacific side.
But San Juanico to the north of Lopez gets Exede.
So FRUSTRATING. I'm paying for 2 services!!!!!
What I get for having 2 places . . .... damn!
