Wow! That's pretty impressive. It will be interesting to see how it goes over the next month. I guess one thing that you're not going to be able to test for a while is how it performs with cloud cover. But thanks for the update that gives some food for thought. Out of interest whereabouts are you? we're near Castelo Branco and in the mountains but we get satellite TV OK, so I guess sat internet would be ok.

just a footnote,it would seem that satellite internet would not be good for gamers as the ping is very high

They don't like package changes at the end of contract periods and they are hopeless at communicating with their customers. Believe it or not, I cannot have a package without TV now. What nonsense! I hope to sort them out very soon but I have to admit that they have been giving me good, unlimited internet for 31 Euros per month till now and fibre cable is not far off in the Algarve countryside.

i agree meo are hopeless but i would probally stayed had fibre been on offer but i am told no chance,early days but 1 day on and still getting in the 90s mbts,one thing i have noticed that i am not so happy about is that i am being bombarded with adverts not iffy ones but every bank in portugal and finace type

Hmm!

What operating system are you using?

Sounds like a firewall or proxy problem!
