Why does my wildblue (isp) connection keep dipping in and out? ?

Question

almost every 10 minutes or whenever im loading a large internet file, the internet dies. Is this normal? Does it matter if I'm running my internet connection through a dlink DI-624 router if it is wired? Will it work better if i connect it directly?

Answer 1

Wildblue internet isn't very reliable and factors such as weather can affect your connection at times. So if you didn't know this, now you know! Basically what i'm saying is, satellite internet sucks!
