How can I tell if the towers around me have upgraded ? About one month ago, I signed up for Verizon Broadband, brought it home,, and could not get any speed out of it. Wildblue gives me 800-1000 kbps Verizon is 100-200 .
My Wildblue is 89.00 per month and quits in rain or snow.
Everything I have read, seems to indicate, that I need to have at least a pretty fair signal, for any thing to work. That I don't have, Some days cell phone works, but mostly it don't, but I really don't care, about phone service, I still have a land line.
I am probable going to have to wait, for a tower that can reach over the trees, or one on the south side of the house. All though I have heard about a new signal that is not affected by walls,trees or buildings.
