Finally after a few weeks of screwing around I've finally got a stable freaking signal.

I know by now you guys are probably sick of listening to me rant about Verizon and my BFE signal quality.

So today I got upset and decided to give that elevation change a try. Well with the mounting setup it comes with there was no way to securely angle it. I got mad and just put it back up and spun it around.

I never aimed it in the town that I new had Rev-A but was further than the other 2 towns in the area that were much closer with Rev-A. So I just started turning it leaving the settings on auto.

I started to notice my CDMA (National Access * Slow worthless speed) drop down into the low 80's. Not like I hadn't seen that before aiming in other directions.

Out of the blue I noticed it switched over to full bars of Rev-A signal. I got really excited and did a speedtest. Results were great and I was like hell ya.

Then I went to email someone and the connection had dropped. LMFAO I was pulling my hair after getting again teased like that. So I fiddled a bit more.

Now it seems it takes a few times to connect no doubt do to the overall distance of around 10 miles away but it must be a clean shot. I've never dropped below 3 bars and normally hold a steady -72dBm to -74dBm level.

At least now my results are pretty much on par with the Verizon average.

Seeing speeds like this in BFE are like having sex for the first time. :D :D :D

Will do later tonight. I just played a game of madden 08 on the ps3 and it played pretty decent.

Kinda pissed though I never would of guessed my buddy would drop his connection on purpose with 3 seconds left in the game when I beat him. Now my win doesn't even count. Last time I play him.... He had several wins on me since I was playing with dial up before but this time just dropped even though I was connected to the server and everything was fine. Grrr
 


It's amazing you have a faster connection than me, considering you're using a wireless connection.
