Ok Rev: Just got off the phone with Advanced Tech Support again, cause haven't received a call from Level 3. THIS is the story I was given: NOC has ALOT of people dealing with the same problem as I am, and on different Satelites also. So they are trying to fix it all for everyone, and that's why I wasn't called. Wondering if that is true or just a line of bull to shut me up for 3 more days??? He said give them 3 more days, and hopefully they will have it all fixed. So in the meantime, I am running at: :::..

Anyways, just thought I would let you know what 3rd Level told 2nd level tonight. (he had me on one line, and them on another) Guess I am just not gonna see any improvements here soon. Have a great night!!! And thanks for the ear!!!!

Hi Rev!!! Here's my test results for the test I just did. I think that Dr TCP is helping alot, at least it appears to be so far this morning, May change this afternoon, as usual. But this test came out pretty well, even with some crappy weather conditions here today. :::..

Thank You Rev! I just downloaded it and will be checking it out in ahile. Balck Vipers site is still not working this morning, so either it's down or there's a router out somewhere. Glad you had a copy of this! Thanks again!!

Great site! Tech support does indeed know you are here, this is the only place they send us to test, or at least it's the only place they have sent me! Even the techs in India know about this place, so I would gather the big wigs are telling them to refer here. Keep up the GREAT work Ca3le! And thanks for the helpful site.

Thanks Rev!!!! I had already ran that tool you had posted in another spot, and only changed what you said there. This time you gave me step by step details, so there was quite abit I had to set as you told me to. Will let you know if that helps, but for tonight, I am off here to watch some TV ( Oh My ) with my lonesome hubby. lol I appreciate all the help you have given me Rev, many thanks!!! Have a GREAT night and god bless!!

It's me again Rev! Ummmmmmmmm I was fapped for a FULL 12 hours for slightly going over my fap, They did that in Dec to us, and man thought they would NEVER let it up. That same night we were fapped a second time for 3 hours, and no one was online, go figure. Just had to let you know, so now you do know someone who has been fapped a few times. lol

Now REV told you this DLink is OLDER than dirt. lol The only numbers I find on it are DE 805TP. That's it. Been trying for an hour to get to black vipers site, but all I am getting is a blank page on both browsers. My sigmal strength right now is only around 350, not sure if that's why. Yes I am running a clean install of XP SP2 on here. They did kick the modem last night Rev, he messed with it for over an hour. The young man I talked to was GREAT, and honest with me ( now that WAS a refreshing change) He tried EVERYTHING he could think of, and nothing helped. He told me it was NOT my system, but it was direcway totally, and that's why he was kicking it up a step. It was actually nice talking with this tech, he felt really bad and tried so hard to get the speed up for me, but nothing he did helped. He even did a power boast,, but it made no difference at all. He even told me there was NO WAY he would EVER buy their service himself, and he works there. lol If I don't hear from the HIGHER ups by Fri. they will get another call from me for sure, just want to see if this call happens or not ( evil grin ) . Ohhhhhhhhh the name, well here's the story on that one. We live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, so there for I am a Yooper ( according to the lower Michigan people ) and of course I am a Lady too, hense the name. But then the lower Michigan people to us are FUDGIES as they love the U.P. fudge, so we are even. lol Thanks again Rev, and yuppers, I am a lil crazy here and enjoy a lil laugh, like over at direcwaysuxs. lol Thanks........................................

Ok Rev, this is what I have. I have already done those boxes with the proxy settings, been watching your posts for awhile. lol Now the routher, well............this is an OLD one, made like 12 years ago, one of the first ones out, so it's not like the newer one. We did buy a new one, but had MAJOR conflicts with it on the network and such, so we are using this older one like a switch. It has to plug into my computer before it will work. Make any sense? Doesn't to me either, but works ok. My signal strength is 84, which is about normal for me, had 89 I think when it was first installed. Yup I agree, should add more memory on here, had 1 gig, but hubby built his puter, so we kinda shared. lol On the hard drive, ya know, I am a NEAT freek with my computer, only have 7 1/2 gigs used, so have lots of free space on it, and I am kinda a techy and defrag at least once a week, and run anti spy ware,CCleaner and all the stuff to keep it clean and fresh. Yes I know about black Vipers site, but haven't tried his tweaks yet, but will deffently go check them out again. One more question for you though, why would I get higher scores today through IE than I can through FireFox? I use FireFox alot to test my speeds, but after they messed with my modem yesterday, those test SLOWED right down. Today my speeds are higher with IE, crazy huh? You might want to go back over and visit direc way suxs Rev, a GREAT reciew on you written there, sending EVERYONE here to talk to you!!!!

I have been with DirecWay for almost 2 years now, and just this Nov. I upgraded to the new 6000 modem. Where I am really having problems is in my speed after 2 p.m. each day. I test my speed often here at this site, and normally in the mornings I can get a speed of at least 900KBs. After 2 p.m. it starts to degrade, and gets so bad by 7 p.m. that it's about useless. Last night I dropped down to 20kbs, now that's bad! I was on the phone with tech support for over 2 hours last night, and the Advanced tech said it is NOT my system, and tried and tried to get me some speed, but the best he could do was about 160KBs. He's suppose to have higher ups call me within 72 hours, but not sure rather to hold my breath on that or not. I don't remember this many problem with my 4000, the speed seemed fair most of the time, so what's the deal with the 6000? Just so you know, I am running Windows XP, 2700 XP amd processor, 512 ram, 40 gig hard drive, new system. I am on SatMex5, 117 west, 1090.0 MHz, and we do run a home network here on a DLink switch. Any help would be welcomed! Hey REV, you come HIGHLY reccomened too! Just thought you'd like that info. lol Thanks Guys!!!
