XPLORNET? NOPE

XPLORNET AND WHY YOU SHOULD KILL IT WITH FIRE





So since I haven't posted yet I decided I'd show you the speed at home. I have Xplornet which is satellite internet, and about as good as a 50 pound sack of shit rigged with C4 on your front step. Xplornet for the great white North I think is around $170 a month. (Not too sure on that, but around there.)

I'd like you to understand my pain. My deep, agonizing, stab-my-face-with-needles-dipped-in-acid pain.








Slower than 97% of Canada. 97%. And you must understand that 0.68Mb/s is on a good day, a very very good day (but not too sunny...) when you haven't even touched the internet for about 12 hours and it's ready and willing. (Sort of.) 

Another thing, touching back on the good day I mentioned to have the highest speed possible. 
Too sunny? Nope. Sorry. Connection is completely lost.
Too foggy? 
Cloudy? 
Raining at all, drizzling even?
Imminent rain?
Snow?
And of course with rain and snow, wind, blizzards, etc
You know, maybe it's just having an off day. (Every other day..) 
To give you an idea, it took me about 20 minutes to download a file of about 5mb earlier. 


So this pretty much completely fucks our chances of trying any sort of gaming.


T has Northwestel which is equally balls. I don't have a cap, but he does. 15gb I believe.
So yeah.
