Title: Internet Service Is Spotty
Post by: JohnyMac on March 08, 2022, 03:35:45 PM
My internet service has been acting like a yo-yo all day. Up and down or very low Mbps rate even for me. I was chatting with Patriotman and he too has been experiencing a yo-yo internet experience today.

How has your internet been acting post PPOTUS's speech?

Also, we heard a fighter jet fly over our house (Turned out to be 2) which made the windows rattle just before 1500 hrs. It was reported to my MAG net, that two fighter jets landed at the Binghamton, N.Y. airport at about 1510 hrs. local. As the crow flies, Bingo airport is about 15-miles north northwest of us.

Airforce 1 just landed in Ft. Worth but without the AF1 designator.

If anything out of the ordinary happens around your AO, drop a post on this thread.

I had access problems to Zello this morning and some slowness (spinning...) on other sites.  Downdetector.com showed at least 9 interruptions of AWS &etc beginning at aproximately the same time earlier today.

Keep those radios ready.

Despite the internet vandalism, Cooter's hand sent Morse code QRP signal was quite readable and his message ready for me to relay via ERIN digital net..  Gotta love radio: commercial infrastructure is helpful but not required, but YOU knew that.

I'd like to participate in this thread but my internet service always sucks. I'm only 1.5 miles from the tower and the signal is always weak. Today has been no different than any other day.

I have seen a fair bit more Ospreys flying by in the past couple weeks than usual.  Ordinarily we get 1 every 2-3 weeks.  Past month or so its double that.

Our internet speed has been excellent.  Nothing unusual aviation-wise has been noted.  Gas prices keep going up.  Not looking forward to the time change tonight...
