said by tobicat : I would specifically like to see a screen shot of the Route test over Wild blue. The route test seemed to give me the grand tour of the country. -- Ron ~ Wildblue Select Pak since 01-2006, Anik F2 Beam 26, service through NRTC, Dell XPS, 2Gig Ram, XP Pro, Router DD-WRT- WRT54GL, Laptop, XP home |

1 edit | Well it does look like it actually went up and over the satellite to your modem. So it might be of some use to Wild Blue users not sure what though other than to show the route is not broke.
I agree with you on the speed teat also. I can't even figure out what that capacity test is supposed to prove. -- 9000 spaceway III, 7000S SatMex 5 990, Dlink wirless |

| WB users can be sometimes appear to be seen because they use the a dynamic lease addressing system. Some folks have reported having the same lease for days at a time. But the customer has no control over it whatsoever. So they'd eventually lose money betting on the same lease twice in a row. But since the packet that requests the route test from the ISPGeeks server is carrying that particular lease address, that's the path the route test will take in return.
Hughes NAT system won't permit that. Our packets (between us and the NOC) are identified by a hexidecimal iteration of our modem serial numbers.
