Then how do you keep the water out of yours, any other suggestions/

:haha:Just remember a little tidbit that some people might not have figured out yet that helped out a whole lot!! When I first got my d-way it rained one night and I lost all transmissions. I called tech support that night, they said they would send someone out the very next morning, they came as promised. Before they got there, I got a wonderful idea after looking at dish the from  the ladder and noticed that the little window on the nose was half full of water so I decided to relieve it of the water. I went up the ladder armed with a sewing needle and punched two little holes in the clear window to allow water to escape. Went downstairs and low and behold it had started working. When installer showed up he said that was a fine idea. and he had no problems with that. so when it rains I only lose transmissions till it quits, not all night and till whinever!!Hope this helps someone not as lucky to hit right solution so easily!!!

    I have also noticing that some lf you have been talking about satellite dish size. Does it really matter? If so would a large old aluminum satellite say 15 feet maybe help? Don't mind trying crazy things if would help get my d-way off the  ground  a  little faster.

    So you really think it makes a considerable difference between the two?

    Which TCP optimizer is really the best? The reverands,Cablenuts, or Speed Guides. I hear alot  of conversation about each of them, mostly about Cablenuts. The reason I was wondering was I have been using the reverands with quite a bit of success. But didn't know if it made a whole lot of difference, although most people have a little bit better connection speed than I do, and I have been a little bit leary about going with some registry key changes. Although I have done most everything else. Not sure how to paste scores but average conection speed is usually around 1400, and like everybody else my download sucks. :? :

Also standard dway account,e-machines t6522,2G ram, no router,simple.

Has anyone used the Browsing Optimization Utility in the system control center of direcway? If so what does do? Read a lot good tweaks in here but could not find any forum searches on this subject.. : :?

This is my first post so here goes.I have been a member for a short time and find this a quite interesting site.The reverend is quite correct.My average download was originally 670 average .My download was average around 1000 when i used the reverends teqnique. But i kept on doing it several more times and i got up :D :arrow: to around 1400 downloadspeeds. Thanks fellas. Tom
