QUESTION:

Why test your internet connection?

ANSWER:
To see if you are actually getting high speed access. Many companies make claims of speeds “up to*” or “max speed*” a certain speed. What does the asterisk mean? This means you will probably get less but never more.

Mojavewifi.com’s 6 megabits download speed for example is actually that, you will get what you pay for, no asterisks required! If you aren’t, there’s something that needs fixing and we should hear from you!

In rural areas satellite internet is commonly used, but is more expensive than other forms of broadband because of all the equipment needed. Also, since the signal has to travel ~44,000 miles to reach the satellite, then to the source back on earth, then back to the satellite, and finally back to you. This is the slowest form of ~high speed~ *cough* internet. …according to www.en.wikipedia.org
