Mr.Topwater! Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Hi all. I just moved to Land o' Lakes region. After exhausting all options for internet, it left dial-up and Xplornet. I resignedly chose the latter. So far, so good. I'm very pleasantly surprised at the reliability ,even during last nite's wind and snow. Now I live in beautiful country with good fishing and the 'net, to boot! Ah, sweet retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ironmaker Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Xplornet was all we could get here until recently. Not fast enough for streaming i.e. Netflix etc. as I have learned from the techies here. Fast enough for us. Shaw has something faster out this way now, happy with xplornet, it's not prone to going down due to storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Cliff Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Congrats on the retirement thing! We had Xplornet here and were so happy to get rid of it, I even had the direct phone number or their operations manager at one point because there were so many problems with it (he finally left the company). At one point they were going to send a technician from Ottawa to here to fix things up but they wanted us to pay for the milage and travel time, five hours each way to fix their problems! We changed service providers. Hopfully they have improved significantly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pike slayer Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 I've had xplornet for around 5 years and really it's not that bad. It works perfect for Web surfing, emails, and even watching videos. The only downer is download limits suck so it's pointless to get something like netflix. Also make sure the dish is clear of snow and signal can be lost during snow and rain storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paudash Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 I have it and I use it it for Netflix. Good for about 4 hours of movies but you have to turn the quality down to standard. If you leave it at HD quality you you smoke through everything in a hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
