Yea I bought it outright i couldnt afford 100 a month for internet access they gave me alittle trouble in the beginning but they wanted the 60 bucks a month..I have seen the reverand post some tweaks for direcway dw6000 and a very interesting article too about direcway using 6000 on there end and there uploads and downloads suck too.

[JoeOtto]

I applied the Reverend's tweaks and get 995-1012 down and 70-90 up almost all the time, except for evenings when the whole internet slows to a crawl.

Is anyone getting speeds above 1000 regularly with a DW6000. I read there is a limit, and judging by my speeds, I would agree.

What size file are you measuring this with? please post the stats, thanks

Here you go: (I was in a hurry to leave last night, and didn't run the tests then)

:::.. Download Stats ..:::

I believe this is typical. Since I don't upload much, the smaller test is more indicative of speeds browsing (I have no complaints there most of the time) For uploading photos or a song. AWFUL! We wait until bed time and do it then!

Here is a link to my averages

And right after that, I ran Dway's crappy test:

The test is running...
This test may take 1-2 minutes to complete.
For accurate results, please avoid all Internet activity until the
test is finished.
..
** Speed: 626(down)/256(up) kbps **
(At least 18 times faster than a 33 kbps modem)
Finish.

Direcway probably use a 5 kb file to do there test with LOL, makes it look good......

[JoeOtto]

It can't be much bigger than that, the whole test usually takes about 10 seconds for me.

No wonder none of them believe the speeds suck. They always reference their test, and those results aren't half bad!
