At my gf's house...
They got sattelite inetnet as there's no cable available.
Check out that amazing internet speed!!

I wasnt able to upload in a higher quality for obvious reasons...

 

And I thought my internet was bad at 160/80 kbps.

How are you managing you poor soul?

Haha yeah, back when I was living on your shore I could tell when there's a bus passing on my street just by checking the available wifi networks on my computer, and the signal was kinda strong I could connect long enough to get past the connect screen

But yeah, I dunno if it's really true but there's ways to boost your antenna by putting a can around it, or tinfoil. Would make sense as you would increase the length of the antenna this way.

You can increase range with a pair of dish antennas

(ISP is Earthlink not AT&T)

Only if you like being behind a desk in one room anytime you use the computer cause my desktop is directly connected to my router via Ethernet cable.

It's still gonna be a lot faster, evne using Wifi ^^
Also... why dont you have a little switch and long ethernet cables, one for every room...?

I wonder if there is a speed test site that doesn't require downloading and uploading a very large file (basically, a site where a smaller file is downloaded/uploaded instead)? I am curious about how my mobile data connection is from home (it seems faster, but when away from home it tends to cut off more often)

they usually ue files as big as possible so they can have as accurate results as possible...
acuracy of the result goes down with file size of the test file... :/

we should do that at my house... the wifi doesn't reach everywhere.
