Thats a big jump with that tweek. 117kBs

It definitely is faster than DWay.

Try 2992kbs

You need to test a bigger download file to be more accurate.

Satmex5 is the Sat that I am on. I have been on it since I was with Earthlink for three years. Then I went to DWay. To save a few dollars. They kept me on that Sat, and the same settings. I have been with them almost a year now. I still have my up's and down's but all in all it has been good.

Justinlay  Thanks. Mabe I'll try tcp. but first I'll have to put the defaults back. It just might be that we are on different Sat

wow, dway is not very good... move to the city...

It is to busy there, not for me. The slow life is for me. Your downloads are about the same. Your uploads are better. If you have to use uploads then it is important. I just need downloads. I like to test stuff. Only the thing that fix or clean my computer, as long as it is free.

The only tweeks that I did was Satspeed from www.copperhead.cc . I used that tweek on all my computers.

This is on my Homemade Computer hooked up to a Lynksys Router which acts as a hub. This is one of my client computers.

What did you do to get those speeds?

I would rather get that than paying $59 a month for slower speeds and a cap of 169 mb per 4 hours.

Anyway, are you on the 4000 modem?

Go for it and be the Ginnie Pig, and let us know. It is a shame that you want to throw you money away that you spent on the Satellite.

They say Up To that speed, Not guaranteed.

Well when you're a 14 year old who gets paid $5.50 an hour, needs to buy a new screen for his laptop, and is saving up for a new computer, it's a lot of money.

now that I switched to safer networking it seems to do just fine!!! Worked for me !

Thats What I did and it worked all the time. Just like all that I read I had the same problem for two months. Safer Networking always worked.

It doesn't cost that much to be a life member. They have a lot of good tweaks, especially for DWay 4000. The forum is nice also, with a lot of help.

Try Satspeed at www.copperhead.cc itmight raise your speed a little

bit.

These are my test results, any suggestions?  I used SatSpeed from www.copperhead.cc  also known as DirecWay Uncensored

  You can find a lot of information at DirecWay Uncensored  www.copperhead.cc. They have a lot of stuff there for DW 4000.

  CodeFrog has a step by step on Networking. They also have a lot of information on other DWay systems too.  :D

This looks good today. I wish it would be this way all the time.

There are days that I get speeds @ 1X better than dialup. Uploads

sucks, but what do I upload any way?

You have to buy if you want speed in the boonies. I did because thats all I can get for broadband. Downloads are good most of the times. It sure beats Dialup.
