To test your broadband speed, click on the link below and choose the server nearest you. Wildblue is dead on with 1.5 mbps. Upload speed is much slower. Dish Internet aka Wildblue also caps your downloads at 12 or 17 gigs per month.
Speakeasy - Speed Test
If your Wildblue satellite internet connection sudenlly dies but you can still do an nslookup but can't ping or bring up a webpage, you have probably exceeded your monthly quota. You can still chat on IRC which seems to not to be blocked by this restriction. Wait 8 to 12 hours and you will probably be back online. Most people never have this problem unless you are a power user and download iso's. Anyone know more work arounds, please post a comment to this article.
