And dont say I should try with a larger file...It will be the same if not even slower....My upload speeds are too embarrassing (i cant post them lol)

So what to do...And also, This speed is during all hours, but gets slower at peak hours.  Ive tried morning, night, midday....all pathetic

K heres the ss

edit to remove site ID

No, I havent.  I just did a test on myDirecWay off of the site and here are the results.

Guys tell me what you think

Ok, my signal strength is at 60 right now...Im soo sad its soo slow.

What should I do...Who should I call?  How do you guys monitor all your stuff up? Am I supposed to set up my account at myDirecWay.com?  (I Havent)

So having these slow speeds right now is normal?  I was getting ticked at myself for spending all this money and the speeds sucked so bad... How long do you think this will last?  Also, Once I clicked that Force Range (what does it do by the way) it has a box and it like keeps refreshing and refreshing...Do I just hit close whenever I feel like it or does it end itsself.....

Here are the results after I did that...

My family lives in, not really the middle of no where but, outside of the city (Texas).  The towns on both sides of us both have DSL but no, for some reason we dont have that or Cable.  So, of course weve been using Dialup the last 6 years (wow). So anyways we decided to check out this Satellite Internet, and we chose Direcway since they offer the 99 a month instead of the 600 at one time.

We tried installing with 2 different people.  The first ones seemed like people who would scam you, which they did try to charge an addition 100 dollars for nothing.  The second people came to our house on a day where the temperature was at about 14 Degrees (F).  So they come, look around for 2 seconds and say our view isnt that clear, and they leave.  A weak later, called some other local people, and bam the next day they came.  A guy did the "site survey" and then later came back to Install It.

Installation went smoothly, took him and 2 others about 3 hours.  He plugged up the modem ( I like the blue lights lol ) and then connected it to my laptop.  And we tested a few sites...it seemed like sluggish (you click wait wait wait then it goes, almost like dialup)  But anyways so he says it works and blah blah blah and hes gone.

One of the first things I do is go to testmy.net!  I didnt get a chance to copy the results but I

remember my download speed.  It said I was downloading at 7kbps!!!#!#@!$@$  I was like OMG, thats not even 2 times better than dialup!!!

I decided to download a song in limewire.  It worked pretty good I suppose average speed was about 40kbps downloading which is alot better than my 5 on dialup. 

I have some question....How come it says my download speed is so slow....here I just ran a test

How come its not with other people on here around like 150 kb/s? and some even around 250?

I know this is alot but I would greatly appreciate the help...Thanks
