I wonder if having my IP saying I'm from Idaho makes any difference? |

I'm not having the best of luck in Raleigh, NC... "Upgraded" from Clearwire about a month ago. I think the official Clear release is taking place now.

I had called the tech support ( a few days ago) about dropping connections and high ping. She said I am connecting to a tower that is more than 2 miles away most of the time instead on the one thats less than half a mile and a pretty straight shot (just 8% of the time).
The tech said they discontinued the outdoor antenna because it was a bandwidth hog.
I need a hog to improve my connection/reception. |

phaqu,
Sounds like something is blocking signal from the tower that is closest to you. Have you tried different places in you house? |

| said by xrayman  :phaqu, Sounds like something is blocking signal from the tower that is closest to you. Im on the up side of a slight hill, Its a straight shot to the tower. Cant imagine what could be blocking it.
said by xrayman :Have you tried different places in you house? The room its now in is the highest in the house. I walked around the house with the modem and its the same everywhere. 1 bar.
The roof (not the attic) was the best, with 2 and 3 bars. |

According to the tower finder, I am .68 miles away from the nearest tower - receiver is in livingroom on ground floor with a "solid" 3 light signal.
