Re: wildblue internet connection very slow how do I change it?
quote:
You are not going to lower your ping time on a satellite connection.
You are accessing a sat that is 22,300 miles away.
So figure it out:
You to WB gateway 22,300 miles.....
Gateway time..... ? ms
Internet time....probably 200 ms......
Gateway time...... ? ms
WB to you 22,300 miles.
Once you think about it 1700 aint half bad.
It's the nature of the beast.
1700 is terrible. It's over twice and close to 3 times longer/slower than the physical latency of the satellite connection itself accounts for.
Here is the latency wildblue delivered for the first year in 2005:

| P.S. not that there is anything you can do as a customer about the wildblue traffic shaping now in place -- generally the experience is still ok, but it's not as snappy/quick as it was at first that we saw with our own eyes for the first year of service.

That was my point. The old daze (10/05) were so much better.....
