....had D'way DW-4000 for a year a couple of years ago. I NEVER saw any DL speed above 1.2Mbits/s; the average DL was 350Kbits/s.

Read that as 400 kilobits per second or 50 kilobytes per second. -

I had DirecWay using the old DW4000 2-way system. -

Got Wildblue recently....speed down is regularly 200KBytes/s and speed up around 28KBytes/s. Down load burst speed has been as high as 375KBytes/s. For satellite service the speeds are pretty good. Latency is regularly around 600msec. These values are for the most expensive service package offered. -
I can't argue with that...if an entity buys bulk drives from Seagate, some sort of warranty would be implied and serviced by either that entity or Seagate.

Looks like some @#$@#$%!! has stung you with TCP Flooding. The connection request is sent from a spoofed address and before the ACK can be sent another request to another spoofed addr is sent. Your PC works itself to a nub trying to comply with all the requests and it never gets any return confirmations since they don't exist.. Eventually your mem gets loaded and the system gets locked up. From what I've seen the trick doesn't cause any permanent harm when all is reset. I wish these hacker SOBs, spammers and virus makers would get lives!!
