I was really hoping for faster speeds. But it is raining today, bad. I guess that's one reason and congestion? I getting about 3mbps give or take.

I think the copy and paste buttons are stuck on Dawn's keyboard. She really needs to get a new computer.
I agree!

The ViaSat system uses adaptive coding and modulation to mitigate the effects of rain fades.
In clear sky conditions the link can perform at maximum levels which allow for maximum efficiency. As rain attenuation increases, the link will resort to using less efficient coding and modulation. The link connectivity is maintained but throughput speeds will drop.
As conditions degrade, eventually the link will drop. But typically the link is maintained longer than for a DirecTV or Dish satellite TV signal.

That explains why my DirecTV goes out but Viasat doesn't when it rains. Thanks!
