Did you get a complete refund, or did you get stuck for some installation charges?

You will get latency with anything that has to travel 40,000 miles round trip, I cant see the 7700 being any different, seeing as it uses satelitte as well. A phone call from here to England has latency, because of the distance and the way it gets there, but the question is, who has seen a 7700 running?

So I guess I am not going to get the 20 bucks? LOL

Can I borrow 20 bucks?

Interesting read! I thought this was funny, taken from the huges site.... DirecWay is a family of broadband satellite solutions brought to you by Hughes Network Systems (HNS), the global market leader in providing satellite products and services to enterprises, government, and consumers. DirecWay satisfies the increasing demand for bandwidth by offering a variety of high-speed multimedia hardware, software, and service solutions.

So did you win?

There servers are normaly down, which means they dont care and dont want to talk with you..... I get the same crap when my service gets bad... OH WE ARE HAVING TECHNICAL PROBLEMS! Oh, like I never heard that one before today! LMAO

Ouch! I was getting confused, I knew you had Business but then you stated residential too...

The reason I said you would need more then 8 ports is..... most switches, routers or hubs normaly come with 4 ports, this is fine if you want 4 computers hooked up, but no room for an uplink port. most times if you have a 4 port, you will get 3 computers and an uplink to a dw6000 or whatever. same with an 8 port, 7 ports one uplink port, 16 ports, 15 and one uplink. The uplink is there to connect to other networking equipment, as mentioned like another switch or DSL modem... and so on. Now I have seen one or two that have the 8 ports and 1 uplink, but that is rare!. After looking up on your greyfox equipment I noticed that it has the 9th port built in..... so in fact you would be ok with the 8 port you have Spec sheets http://www.greyfox.com/Tech%20Data%20Sheets/Product%20Technical%20Data%20Sheets/Home%20networking%20modules/F7559.pdf

How many accounts do you have with dway?

Does this mean everytime I post the average goes up? I got 133.33 %, will this affect how TESTMY.NET reads the scores?

Its weird, I think its been like that since the installer came out and changed my LNB........ its not too shabby, could be a lot better can we say greedy?

You going to need more then an 8 port, you listed 8 rooms! your going to need a 16 port switch, or better still, go wireless, you dont need to run cables then.

One thing I think is weird, I have seen people with DW4000's, I have seen people on a business plan, but my upload speeds are always like this sometimes peeking to 15 KB/s.... :::..

I hear yah Brother!, I hear Yah!!!

The whole thing with tax and the internet sucks.... I own an online store, I also sell through ebay, I live in WV but can only charge tax to people in WV, I cannot at this time charge people in the other 49 states the 6.00 sales tax, so who pays that? me! why? because there is no law as yet for internet sales taxes. So if this is the case, and I bought my system over the internet with my C/C and was not taxed, but now I look at my bills and I am being taxed for the monthly service of $59.95 or what ever it is. 2 months ago this was not the case, its just started to happen, nothing to do with the govenment, THIS INTERNET SALES TAX HAS NOT BEEN PASSED!!! Direcway tried telling me some bullshit about they can do it because they are in my state, I told them "no your not, your in Maryland" the guy told me "we have installers in WV" again I told him "No you do not, you pay third party companies to do your work, they are not directly on your payroll", the ass hole went quite and told me I would have to speak to my local tax office, so I did....... They told me that the tax has not been sorted out yet, but if I wanted to I could collect the tax from all 50 states and declare it, but it is not complulsary as yet! HUMMMMM......Figure that out..

Just tell them that you bought the 4000 and you are going to change over, if they say you cant then tell them you are going to cancel.... they should change there mind and let you, I cant see them wanting to loose a customer.... worth a try, I have heard of people doing it, I know they dont like it, but go for it, tell them, if you cant switch your gone.....

OMG.... hold on, picking myself up off the floor! LMAO

LMFAO..... that is so funny........lol

I am quite certain by readin information on the 7000, its aimed at business users, so you would be paying a lot lot lot more on the monthly access..... not sure on how much but I think it will be well over $100 a month plus. Someone may correct me if I am wrong, but this is all I have read on it.

I bought this new, first time, never had a 4000 and I could not get one even if I wanted one, I am not prepered to buy a used one that might go bang in a day or so, which is an interesting point, what you going to do when that happens? 500 down, 50 up! thats what I was told, they will do nothing about it and yes, its ovious I only have dial up as an option, but $60 for this junk and $15 for dial up?? I think dial up worked better... no, it was more worth the money seeing as my upload still SUCK AS MUCH AS DIAL UP, and I do a lot of it......... Instead of you complaining about the complainers, why dont you sujest to the site owner to build you a nice non-bitching forum? why else do people come here? to complain about there issues with DirecWay? maybe I was wrong....... Ohh, and direcway dont guarantee anything, not service or speed, but they dont tell you that when you sign up do they? no... they fill you with ohh its wonderful promises! LOL

I would agree with that, give it a little more time to stablize......
