Speeds are best effort. If you want guarantees and SLA's go get a T1. Otherwise stop your whining and grow up.
A comment like that makes you sound like a Verizon troll.

As for the OP I get the same response. I live in a marginal area and anytime I have problems I get the same crap. I really wish I could just video record my connection when its working decent.

Its been horrible with constant request time outs the past few days. It always seems to do this towards the end of the month. Maybe its because I actually use my bandwidth and they try and lag me off the connection.

Some days I can go steady -69dBm as low as -63dBm and have a great connection with no request time outs. Other days with similar weather I get constant hang ups and watch my connection bounce from -69dBm all the way up in the -110+ range.

Its irritating and I've given up on calling support. I use a full 14dBi yagi mounted 25 feet in the air and Intelligian 3 Watt amp with my setup.

I'm really hoping after the foilage drops I can get the connection back from another farther tower that was consistent at 800-900 down vs the current 250-500 down I get currently. Forr the most part I'd say I average around 300 down on the current tower but it likes to jump up and down.
