Where do you check for firmware update... i looked under my modem settings but I can olny find where it says "Software Date: Dec 13 2005, 13:57:57 " My speeds via DirecWay are now at 540 down and 140 up... still not the greatest for being on the pro plan.

I keep seeing people talking about satalite AMC9....and IA89 or something to that. What does that exactly mean and where do I find out what I'm on... Right now I'm under 192.168.0.1/fs/advanced/advanced.html ... is it the carrier info (which says 089:W:1350) Let me know... I'm suppose to be on a higher frequency because I argued w/ the tech support so much they took my accout to level 3/engineer... and stripped the account to make it faster... and grant it is faster then before... but still not anything like I've see others get

Is there really that BIG of a difference in speeds just because of the 7000 modelcompared to the 4000 model. Here's my download/upload.

And my computer is clean of viruses and adware. let me know

Also.. you can get into more advanced setting via your modem... the IP is something like 192.168.0.1/fs/fs/advanced.html (sorry I can't remember it off hand but If you call tech support they will get you their.. in their their is a lot more technical settings and configuration that maybe the gurus of testmy may be able to help you with. Good luck

I really don't know exactly where your getting all your info.. but have you looked at you DW7000 modem settings (192.168.0.1)* sorry last time I gave you the wrong IP. Click on system status. Are there any flags. As well if it was working perfectly and was the perfect day... the service would probably still suck ass. If for some reason or some how you get your speeds to accelerate to what they should be at... please let me know

Thought I would jump in on this cause you are now a proud owner or this crap internet satalite like me. I have the DW7000 modem as well... my installer was a little more quick, but as well checked to see if the internet was up, then just left... So right away I was like you checking sites doing a little surfing to see how smoothly things went... same as you said. Then I started doing some speed test from various sites... and then crapped my pants (not really). If you look here http://hns.getdway.com/HNS/Rooms/DisplayPages/LayoutInitial?Container=com.webridge.entity.Entity%5BOID%5BA88DE5C756665B4FA1951234C6C9B659%5D%5D you will see what you SHOULD be getting. My fastest download was around 300.. and my upload was average about 50-60. I was like Bull Shizz fool sucka fool... After 50 million calls to tech support I finally got through to someone that new more then I do... (really look at my spelLinG) They eventually stripped down my account and redid some things w/ the frequency or some shiz... (look at you modem setting 192.168.1.1) My Download is now usually around 700 or so on average when I run the test and my up is average of 150. Still not that great for being on the Pro plan. I could go on forever on how these people (DirecWay) are screwing over their customers... I'm serious when I pretty much told them their was going to be a lawsuite if they didn't get their shiz straight. All the tech support would say is some bull crap like the "the weather conditions, blah blah blah bull shizz" These where on perfect September day have you. And your not the only one getting screwed right now as mentioned. My friends/friend is on direcway as well and he is getting the same upload/download speeds as I believe everyone is (which I will remind you DirecWay has some Fair Access Policy *you can find on link above*) and the tech support gave him the same run around bull shiz. He gave up because all he does is look at porn anyways. But really... whatever their techsupport has for specs on what we should have for up/down speeds ISN"T what it says on their web site. Sorry for the long message... just had to vent a little PS .. you should as well test your speeds via www.MyDirecway.com under speedtest for most accurate testing... although the resutls will be very similar to testmy website. Any questions... PLEASE email me so I can vent more [email protected]
