Max upload speed

I tuned my poynting antenna the other day, improving SNL from 8 to 18. Thats an improvement of more than 8 times, since its a logarithmig scale.
My signal strength changed from 22% to 40%.
My packet loss went down from 10% to 3%.
Since then, it seems I'm one of the few people without any speed problems, so obviously SNL has something to do with it.

I quote from ProAsm's MySignal:
"For optimum performance one needs to strive
for the best % Signal strength with the highest
possible Signal to Noise level (S-N-L).

The S-N-L is the difference between the
wanted RSCP (Received Signal) and the
unwanted ISCP (Interference Signal).

Achieving the above will automatically
improve the BER (Bit Error rate) which
is measured as a % of the non-punctured bits
at the input of the modems channel decoder".

<br />NicRoets what happened to your MyTransponder page?

You're right. Something was wrong with the CGI, but it's fixed now.

There's about 5 towers with users : MinTek, 4ways Xchg, Kilner and ofcourse Menlo.

*edit*
I've fixed a number of bugs with the client on Wednesday.

I've also made a Gauteng map but it's a bit difficult to interpret it.
It's at http://rational.co.za/cgi-bin/map.sh

By spending big bucks with Poynting [:D]

Yeah ... I know. Mr Pringles [:D]

Okay, let me just chip in with my little defence..

Please.. I know my bits from my bytes. Thats for damn sure. I should never and will never speak in kilobits per second because (to me) its useless information.

When I said 50KB/sec I used the big 'B' on purpose. If I say 50kb or 50Kb then it is something else like kilobits.

I did get 50KB/sec but not for long. Also, it doesnt happen all the time. Right now I cant even get 10KB/sec uploads on our crappy tower. All it proves is that uploads are not capped.

I capped it shortly after seeing 50KB/sec since that kind of speed will cause someone somewhere to suffer but probably not much since its all about downloads. It also shows that I am P2P friendly [8D]

I think the uncapped uploads contribute nicely to the experience, by this I mean that I have noticed that when the speeds are crappy (slow up and down) browsing really blows. However, under normal conditions with downloads maxing out at 16KB/sec with uploads &gt; 16KB/sec, browsing is still possible and relatively decent.

Like I have mentioned before, I believe that uploads are purely contention based and not capped at all. That should explain the spiky uploads during 'quiet' times.

About the bits and bytes, like I told the helpdesk.. (like many others) I know what I am talking about.
