* A low frequency radio of 900 MHz is often used for difficult or longer shots communicating through trees and other obstacles. Speeds are expected to be about 35-40% slower when using a 900 MHz transmitter.
The Home Intro package (down speed up to 400 kbps ) no longer exists as a package option.
Recent studies have revealed that consumers lose an average of 30% of download speed and face an increase in latency of 10-20% when using Wi-Fi (wireless through wireless router) connections in the home. Consumers may find on-line game play, VoIP telephony and video streaming unsatisfactory when using Wi-Fi. Downloading large files such as MP3s, videos, and programs will take longer.
Not getting your expected speeds? Speeds are quoted as the top possible speeds, average rates are expected to be lower depending on the network load in your area, where the highest load is usually in the late evenings, but you might try this with another computer, or if you have a router, please try by-passing it.
