Here are the results for a speed test today (2992) through a Linksys G wireless gateway/router behind a DW7000.

For me, this is absolutely GREAT!!

2 of my 3 pc's tested at this speed and the third is about 75 - 100 feet away from the Linksys and in a different building. I was also streaming audio at the same time!

The 3rd tested at 1175.....

Very happy with DW7000...it's just very expensive!

I haven't been on DW for a long while, use it for backup if cable goes south. 7700 on consumer plan.

A very long while, where you been hiding? 

[Slower]

I been slammed at work. I did notice tonight that https sites now work great with DW. Wonder what NOS did to help that?

[tommie gorman]

Yep the old grindstone.
Thought maybe your cable went south. 
I noticed your speeds were a little slow.

[Slower]

Cable has been pretty good for me. I do a lot of bank and CC transactions so I need a backup and DW fits the bill. One good thing about DW is that if everything in the street goes down, with a generator and satellite I'm still in contact with the outside world.

[tommie gorman]

Never thought about it that way, true. A seldom reached good point about sat. 
And faster than dial-up.

[Slower]

I haven't turned the DW modem on for about 3 months. I noticed it just updated the software and rebooted and the upload isn't all that bad. My signal is only 76 now, was 82..
re-test

[dlewis23]

thats a really nice upload for sat. bird fan, and nice download tommie. 

[Slower]

Nice to see you guys still getting fairly good stats for satellite. I noticed NOC hasn't figured a way to throttle the download on 4000 units yet. 

Sure would be nice to maintain the speeds we had in the 7000 beta testing at 600 up and 2000 down all day long.. We know it can be done and in excess of cable speeds but sadly the transponders get touchy with that much exchange.   I see the Wild Blue folks have finally dropped into reality..  

[tommie gorman]

Well since so many switched to Wild Blue, our speeds have increased some. I sort of wish someone else would start up a sat like Wild Blue did.
Go Wild Blue. 

[Slower]

Yep, it just comes down to money. If WB can make it there might be a satellite expansion. Terribly expen$ive business...

[tommie gorman]

If the gov't would loosen up the rules of domination of states and cities, more of us would be on DSL. I am so close to DSL it stinks.
And I hate storms. Worse than anything.

[Slower]

Out here in Nevada our Verizon phone company is a third world operation. They are still using old copper pole hung wire here so no DSL yet. Cable has been here 15 years but just recently upgraded so I could finally get 3000/256.

Up until satellite internet I paid $80 a month to have dialup. For me satellite was cheaper than dialup.

The reason, I had to rent a pair of wires over to an exchange with local AOL service. Try that for 10 year$..   

[tommie gorman]

Wow 3000/256 must be nice.
But AOL dial-up... well that would suck. And for them prices.
