<title>[general] Peak slow down returns???</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23368305</link>
<description><![CDATA[Lately have been experiencing slow dwld speeds around 8-9 PM (ct).

Service man was out last month, during the day, and couldn't find anything as the system was humming at that time. He replaced two leads on one end of the cable and I paid a $75 service charge. (I couldn't afford a dozen of them)

I was off the internet for a year before resigning with WB through a local reseller. For 9-10 months it has been great. 

Last month the slow downs began and I have logged it when conditions were good (weather good at gate and here) and am beginning to get concerned about the 53 bucks a month for service given my previous bad experience with WB.

Does anyone know if WB is experimenting with any "beam loading" techniques lately?

I am on the value pack (512/125) and on Anik-F2, Laredo gate, beam 042, Left polarization.

My speeds on 11/15/09 before and after cycling the modem and rebooting the PC were...155,128,118,131/////141,144,144,154. 

Tonight they were 183,162,168,188////147,155,168,175.

These are not $53 a month speeds, IMO.

Anyone have any ideas about what may be happening here?

<title>Ever hear of a roaming Wildblue service rep???</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23293442</link>
<description><![CDATA[I just got a call from someone who claimed to be a roaming Wildblue service representative (here in the San Diego area). He said that he had noted that I had a low signal strength and would be able to come to the house tomorrow to re-aim my dish for free.  I have had some connection problems, so I gave him the OK to come out, but now I'm having second thoughts that this might be some kind of scam.

Has anyone ever heard of this kind of service from Wildblue? If it's on the up-and-up, I'd say that this is outstanding!]]></description>

<title>When canceling service, how long does email continue?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23079813</link>
<description><![CDATA[How long will my @wildblue.com email account remain active and accessible after I cancel my Wildblue account?

If the rule is that it goes dead immediately, are there any methods around this?  When I cancelled my AT&T DSL account, my old swbell.com email address has continued to be active because Yahoo handles it. I'm wondering if Wildblue's use of Google might yield the same result. 

Thank you!]]></description>
