Actually, yeah, it is! Is it standard procedure in this case?!

Also it's testing from a server that's 600 miles away so I wouldn't say that's the most accurate reading you could get.
So it's probably faster?

Yeah satellite internet is regulated by governments usually. They tend to set a monthly bandwidth cap, and when you meet that it drops your speed down around dial up speeds until you buy "credits" to raise the speed back up.
And I'd imagine it would be slightly faster. The ping time would definitely be faster.

I had no idea. It got everyone here by surprise, because the kid that signed the contracts was fired the day he hired this service - I didn't even know we were switching services here!
We're now trying to switch back to the previous ISP. Sure, it wasn't nearly as fast, but this bandwidth cap thingy is terrible for a place where so many people share the same connection

In the United States, the name Jennifer first entered the annual government-derived list of the 1000 most commonly used names for newborn baby girls in 1938, when it ranked at #987. Thereafter, the name steadily gained popularity, entering the top 100 most commonly given girls names in 1956, and breaking through into the top 10 in 1966.
It gained even more popularity in the 1970s—Jennifer was the single most popular name for newborn American girls every single year from 1970 to 1984, inclusive.[4] Though its popularity is often attributed to the use of the name in the novel and film Love Story, Jennifer was already the number three name given to baby girls in the United States in 1969, the year before the book and movie were released.
