Yesterday was the first day of my new month for data, which also means higher speeds while I have that allotment, and I didn't seem to disconnect last night. Maybe it has something to do with the weakness of the signal once I go over my monthly data allowance and the speeds slow down. Even though it is only supposed to slow down to 1-5Mbps, at night congestion seems to be higher and maybe it slows down so much that no signal is getting through the router?
I don't know. But now I seem to have a new issue. My speeds should be back to 12Mbps, but they are only about half of that. I called my ISP yesterday and they said it was congestion, despite this happening in the morning when there isn't supposed to be as much congestion. Not to mention that while I'm using my "priority data" I'm not supposed to see these slowdowns anyway.
Moral of the story: satellite internet sucks, and if you have other options, take one.
