well here's mine and I know it's later but a bit worse than I usually (100to 120kB/s) get too. I just wish.....they could be a bit more consistent and really cared about us private/home users as much as they do their business accounts.

My signal strength is rarely over  60  (usually 55-60)    However if your cross pol is good then snow and rain should not effect your signal strength by more than 5 points (as long as snow doesnt build up on your dish i have to sweep mine off during storms )   FOG FOG FOG however is a killer so if you live in an area with lots of usually thick clouding or FOG then your signal will suffer - good luck all
