The snow is still coming down hard. It's March 30th, and this is Sterling, VA (20mi WSW ofWashington, DC), and we're getting 1-3 inches of snow today?? :D
More "fun" with Starband

Do you get as tired reading about Starband as much as I get tired of writing about it? I imagine you ought to be... I could write pages about the number of problems and frustrations Starband has caused since we bought it just short of a year ago.

It's raining outside. It was thunder and heavy rain earlier. Now it's just a heavy drizzle making driving slow and oppressive. As you can see in the pics, not even the Receiving light is on. The only two lights are Power and PC.

I wanted to go online tonight and can't. Having paid a large amount for the satellite modem, dish, cabling, and repeat visits I would *expect* it to work when I'd like to go online. Perhaps I expect too much for the money spent and still being spent on fair weather internet. You'd think for $69/month, you'd get high-speed, always-on internet. So would I.

I have every reason in the world to hate Starband, I'm given very little reason to like it.

Nothing's different, nothing's changed, but the Starband modem decided the weather's nice and I can have internet access for a few hours...

This is what a working Starband modem looks like:
Any other Starband users?

Anyone else using Starband for satellite internet access? I've pissed away over $1,100 on equipment and repeat visits, and I still have monthly problems and very flaky internet access (fair weather internet-- no access in drizzle, rain, thunderstorms, or snow). If you have Starband or know someone who does, please email me at foremank@dyncorp.com
