Re: Broadband in a Box

Probably no better or worse than any other dial-return provider. What I don't get, is why any of them are still in business. In the face of two way satellite availability for similar money, I just don't understand why some folks still want to tie one side to a phoneline

Hey Guy! you helped a while back with my router on the Skyfx. Thanks. Trying to help a neighbor that lost Sarconnect. My F20 from Skyfx should work on his dish when we aim it to the AMC15 but we don't see a signal. The dishes are the same. What are we doing wrong?

I seem to remember something about turning the LNB a certain way.

The two modems are almost certainly loaded with different sets of satellite parameters; yours for a SkyFX signal, his for a StarConnect signal. That's why you don't interfere with each other.

You could try changing your parameters to match his. But it would be a futile gesture if the StarConnect signal is off the satellite anyway. At least that's what it sounds like - StarConnect went bust, dropped off the air, is trying to find alternatives for stranded customers.

Isn't this just SKYWAY USA disguised?

Thank you Greg. She's going to do the school stuff over here on the laptop. If her house was closer, she could almost stay where she is. Nice lady. It's ok.

I think compuguybna is wrong. Skyfx is in Syracuse,N.Y. and Skyway is in Ky. I had Skyway in 06 and they went down for months and we all lost in that deal. Big Time.

Each to his own. Average latency on my current 2-way is around 770ms. When I had 1-way, the average was at least 520ms. So the latency argument really doesn't go very far with me.
