| Xplornet Status Reports I realize that the response to the Xplornet forum stated off fairly promising. But since then it has been totally underwealming.
So, I am wondering if it might be handy to check in once in awhile to see what kind of speeds everyone is enjoying (or suffering with) on Xplornet - both Ka-Band and Ku-Band. I realize that speed (status) reports are posted almost every day on the Wildblue and Hughesnet forums, but Wildblue, Hughesnet and Xplornet are not necessarily entirely the same. And if you are on Tachyon or MotoSAT, speed info would be interesting for us to know there as well.
I think it would be helpful to indicate which service level you are on, what NOC beam you are using and so on.
I will just post my speeds for today and see what happens.
