At Phoenix AcceleNet Server, they are handling Exede-12 and Exede-5 users' traffic via "congestion management practices." And based upon hearsay from other Exede-12 users, it appears other Exede-12 traffic that was suppose to go to other AcceleNet Severs, have been diverted to Phoenix.
Even though WB-1:163 is quite empty around midnight on a Friday night, for uploading, someone has to twitch those "dials" on that Cisco equipment; and of course, there is a fixed amount of bandwidth to "share."
We are told, "ViaSat aims to provide each subscriber with a fair share of that capacity," and of course, "...at any given time,
subscribers within a given geographic area must share available network capacity with each other."
There are different time zones, there are individual beams to contend with, and there are each's beam upload/download capacity. Its rather doubtful Cisco's equipment with their current setup could accomplish
this idealism above.
What my experiences tell me, and with hearsay from discussions, is they have biased available bandwidth towards Exede-12 users. And recently, they may have re-twitched the priorities on this Cisco equipment.
From the hell I experienced yesterday, extremely long upload (10 minutes for a 112 Kbyte file, due to two stall outs...my Smart Phone choked, like 5 minutes, to get gmail...failed page loads, refresh, refresh, refresh...), it appears to me those Network Nerds don't know Jack Schit, or Cisco's bible (RTFM).
