We had sat at work for a few years, in bad weather it would go out or be REALLY slow, even hard rain. The best days it was slow as hell, i dont think more than 100kib/s down…
The dish would get covered in snow and we would have to crack out the forklift and spray the thing with silicone to try and get a month out of it. Upload speeds are REAALLLLY bad, like 10kb/s MAX, and the ping is horrendous.
Id say keep 56k, not worth the hassle. But i havent used a modem in around 8-10 years now, so i dont really know how bad it is. I complain about 15/2.
Anyways, we finally payed TW the 2500 or so to run a line to our building. Apparently the dunkin by us dropped mad money to get a line ran to them, the 15k or whatever they wanted before was insane.
