My wireless ISP has tried in vain to adjust my signal to stabilize it (wild pings and down load speed fluctuations that can range from 140 KB/s down to zero). It's particularly bad in the evenings , presumably because of the traffic. Have to say I'm impressed with their customer service though. They are always quick to respond to my queries.
They say the problem primarily is that I'm on a 900 Mhz signal because of the vegetation . We're virtually surrounded by trees.
I'm told an 80-100' tower (at a cost of about $4,000 or so) that would extend above the tree tops and would give me access to their 3 Ghz tower which is only about 3 miles from us I think
I'd like a faster , more stable connection for such things as NetFlix , UTube, documentaries etc. that can be found on the net as well as gaming but am reluctant to plop down that kind of $$'s on the off chance things would improve let alone risk a long term relationship with the missus over some gawd awful hunk of metal stuck out in the yard , even though I told her we could paint it pink and hang flower pots on it.
What's your opinion? Think it would make that much of a difference?
