I'VE BEEN A MEMBER OF TEAM SKEET FOR OVER 12 MONTHS NOW.
I'VE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH STREAMING OR DOWNLOAD SPEEDS.
AT LEAST 2 PU MEMBERS COMPLAINED ABOUT HORRIBLE DOWNLOAD SPEEDS FAIRLY RECENTLY.
ONE MEMBER SAID IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DOWNLOAD ANY VIDEOS. HE COMPARED THE EXPERIENCE TO THE OLD TELEGRAPH DAYS (1800s) SPEEDS.
I TOLD HIM AND ANOTHER PU MEMBER THAT I HAD NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS DOWNLOADING.
A DIFFERENT PU MEMBER, WHO WAS HAVING TERRIBLE DOWNLOAD SPEEDS, SUGGESTED I WAS A SHILL FOR THE SITE WHEN I STATED I HAD NEVER HAD ANY DONWLOAD PROBLEMS AT THE SITE.
I THINK HE WAS FROM AUSTRALIA.
ANYWAY, I'M CHECKING THE SITE NOW.
I AM STREAMING A VIDEO.
AND DOWNLOADING A 720p VERSION OF THE VIDEO AT THE SAME TIME.
I'M GETTING BETWEEN 1 TO 2 MB/sec DOWNLOAD SPEED FOR THE DOWNLOAD.
I USED TO GET FASTER DOWNLOAD SPEEDS, BUT I AM DOWNLOADING ON A LAPTOP THAT IS USING MY HOME WIFI CONNECTION.
AND FOR SOME REASON, MY HOME WIFI CONNECTION IS MUCH SLOWER IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, THAN IT USED TO BE.
I USED TO BE ABLE TO GET 3 TO 4 MB/sec DOWNLOAD SPEEDS AT MANY SITES BEFORE.
I EVEN BOUGHT A NEW CABLE MODEM/ROUTER TO SEE IF THAT WOULD INCREASE MY DOWNLOAD SPEEDS-BUT IT DID NOT. A WASTE OF MONEY, IT TURNED OUT, BECAUSE THE OLD CABLE MODEM/ROUTER WAS JUST AS FAST. I HAD THOUGHT THE OLD CABLE MODEL/ROUTER WAS DEGRADED OVER TIME (IT WAS 2 YEARS OLD). BUT THE OLD CABLE MODEM/ROUTER HAD GIVEN ME THE SAME CURRENT SPEEDS AS THE NEW ONE.
WHAT IS STRANGE IS THAT ABOUT A YEAR AGO I HAD A 50 Mbps CONNECTION.
BUT WHEN I UPGRADED TO 100 Mbps, MY DOWNLOAD SPEEDS ON THE WIFI LAPTOP DROPPED TO LESS THAN HALF WHAT THEY USED TO BE.
BUT I HAVE A DESKTOP PC CONNECTED TO THE ROUTER/MODEM, AND I AM GETTING AROUND 116 Mbps FOR THE DESKTOP. THE DESKTOP PC IS HARDWIRED TO THE CABLE ROUTER/MODEM.
ANYWAY, I HAVE NO TROUBLE STREAMING VIDEOS AT TEAMSKEET, AND DOWNLOAD A VIDEO AT THE SAME TIME I'M STREAMING-DOWNLOAD SPEED IS ABOUT 1-2 MB/sec.
BUT LIKE I SAID, I USED TO GET FASTER DOWNLOAD SPEEDS WITH MY LAPTOP, BUT NOT ANY MORE.
BUT THE STREAMING VIDEOS RUN SMOOTHLY-NO STUTTERING OR BUFFERING.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHY I SHOULD GET GOOD TO OK CONNECTION SPEEDS TO TEAM SKEET, WHILE OTHER MEMBERS REPORT MASSIVE PROBLEMS.
I'M GUESSING THERE IS SOME TECHNICAL ISSUE FOR PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCE VERY SLOW CONNECTION SPEEDS.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE CAUSE IS.
BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT THE PEOPLE REPORTING THE PROBLEM ARE PROBABLY TELLING THE TRUTH.
I ASSUME THAT YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH YOUR TEAM SKEET CONNECTION, WHICH IS WHY YOU POSED THE COMMENT.
EVEN THOUGH YOU DID NOT MAKE CLEAR IF YOU ARE A MEMBER, AND WHAT THE DETAILS ARE WITH YOUR DOWNLOAD SPEED PROBLEM.
MUST BE THAT NEW JERSEY ATTITUDE OF: READ MY LIPS (TO GUESS WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY).
JOKE.

Good to hear as there's a discount now. I was a member in the past and had no issues. I also recall their customer service was A+.

I was the one who compared Team Skeet with telegraph speeds. I appreciated your feedback, and hope I was polite. I appreciate any help a fellow PU member tries to give.
I've never been sure why Team Skeet sites are all so slow for me. I haven't had DL problems with other sites. I attempted to contact customer service multiple times to correct the issue but they never responded to my emails.

REPLY TO #5 - Loki :
MY APOLOGIES IF MY COMMENT SEEMED TO IMPLY YOU WERE NOT POLITE.
YOU WERE POLITE, AND JUST AS IMPORTANT, FACTUAL ABOUT YOUR DOWNLOAD PROBLEMS WITH THE SITE.
IT WAS A DIFFERENT MEMBER WHO SAID THAT I WAS A SHILL FOR THE TEAM SKEET SITE (MEANING I WAS A PAID BOOSTER OF THE SITE).
HE WAS FROM AUSTRALIA, I BELIEVE.
AUSTRALIANS ARE FAMOUS FOR TELLING IT LIKE IT IS, OR WHAT THEY BELIEVE
(THAT AUSTRALIA IS HEAVEN ON EARTH, IN THEIR OPINION).
ANYWAY, SOME PU MEMBER VOUCHED THAT I WAS NOT A SHILL FOR THE TEAM SKEET SITE, AND THE AUSSIE SAID SORRY.
LIKE YOU SAID, I HAVE NO IDEA WHY SOME TEAM SKEET MEMBERS GET HORRIBLE DOWNLOAD CONNECTIONS, AND OTHER MEMBERS HAVE NO PROBLEM.
BUT IF I DID HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT SITE, I WOULD REPORT IT AT THE PU SITE, FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH.
I HAVE REPORTED RECENT SERVER PROBLEMS AT THE METART SITES.
WHICH ARE UNUSUAL, BECAUSE METART USED TO CONSISTENTLY GIVE OUTSTANDING CONNECTING SPEEDS.
BUT THE METART SUPPORT STAFF HAVE ISSUED AN APOLOGY, AND STATED THAT ANY MEMBERS WHO EXPERIENCED SITE PROBLEMS COULD HAVE ADDITIONAL FREE DAYS ADDED TO THEIR MEMBERSHIP, WITH NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

REPLY TO #6 - lk2fireone :
I try exceedingly hard to be polite and informative with my comments. This is a community that relies on trust--that people will give honest reviews and feedback, and part of that is being polite and informative and avoiding personal feuds.
I knew I hadn't called you a shill, I just wanted to assure you that there was no intention to get into an argument about DL speeds and conflate it into some flame war.
I'm totally stumped about why I've gotten bad speeds at Team Skeet. It's not just their main site either. I was pretty harsh in my comments, but part of that was that Customer Service just never followed through on my attempts to resolve or investigate the issue.
Thanks for your perspective.

I rejoined yesterday. I have the same problem as others reported with download speed as well as navigation on the site. I thought it might be my Internet connection, but this is 2 consecutive days and I don't have the problem elsewhere. Download speed is under 1 mb /s.
