Please remember that the speed you actually get depends on many factors that are beyond our control. We will base the maximum speeds we can deliver to you by how well our equipment is transmitting and receiving due to heavy trees, obstructions and other conditions that may occur. For example, if you are behind many trees your signal may be marginal and therefore only allow for a Basic package…on the other hand, if you're able to see our access point with no obstructions, the Plus package would be available.
Our equipment is capable of transmitting and receiving data at the advertised rates but what you will get depends on many factors as discussed above. Other things that can affect actual speeds you get include, but are not limited to, Solar flares, Capacity of the network you are accessing, Network problems outside of our system, Viruses, Computer malfunction, Adware, and the list goes on and on.
Internet speed tests are not very accurate and will vary from site to site. If you test to a server in New York and get something under your package you pay for, please realize that the server in New York may be doing a million speed tests at that moment, or a router may be overloaded somewhere between here and there…
This is just a short list of things that affect the Internet no matter who provides you the connection. We constantly monitor our system and it will send us alerts when there are problems and when we find them we jump on it right away. If we are planning maintenance we will send out an email notice to customers that will be affected so please keep us up to date on your email address.
Some advice on how to keep things running smoothly are…Make sure you have the latest security patches on your computer keep antivirus definitions up to date, avoid questionable websites and keep trees and bushes trimmed and out of the path of your installed radio.
