I think Barry is probably correct that packet loss and latency (which are not directly related to speed) are the bigger issues. It can be enlightening to ping one of the websites set up for that purpose to see what anyone's packet loss is ... especially to different destinations. I've even found that it can vary significantly from hour to hour, and I think there are even websites that rate various ISPs for their performance over time.

Comcast just doubled their speeds at least in the Denver area. We are now getting 56mb download speeds and around 11mb up.

K6VVA was running a similar setup maybe Rick will chime in.

I tried some remote operation in the 10m contest using a TS480 and Remoterig. The radio control worked fine, but we had lots of problems with dropped dits, timing problems, etc. on CW, presumably due to dropped packets and/or latency issues. I don't know if it's my particular network or a common problem, but I've heard others using Comcast as an ISP having similar issues.

I wonder if anyone has had success using some other remote system for CW contesting.

Tnx,
