AND lets not forget the basics here....it's a TWO way system.....weather over the NOC in Maryland is just as important.......we like to think of our own weather as the only factor.....but most of us don't live in Maryland... ....so theirs matters just as much..

A very good point, I thought about it and forgot about it... DUHH.......

maybe your crosspol is off, i dont remember the link to fix it though...

this is it http://192.168.0.1/fs/advanced/advanced.html

But dont mess with shit in there........

click on setup.....click on antenna pointing......click next......makesure "perform ACP" is checked then click Next.....click auto.....now it should do the test, you might get into a que and will have to wait for it....mine just showed "isolation = 67 = PASS", if your one fails, do it again, and again until it passes, if it will not pass after like 20 times, you better call the sand monkeys, I mean DirecWay tech support.........

Hope all goes well for you...

Weather has something to do with it too, just because you cannot see the clouds dont mean they are not there, your azimuth angle is where your dish is looking at, its not too far off the horizon and clouds in the next state could affect your speed (connection speed) and increase your latency time.

You could also have issues with your modem, maybe something on your network? maybe you have something downloading without you knowing, like virus updates or whatever, firewalls, hard to say, I would start with nothing running in the background, then see what happens.

When your latency climbs real high, check your signal level, then check your transmit status to see if your dropping packets..... and as advised above, do a cross pole test to make sure your aligned right with the Bird..... also a lot of traffic on the Bird your using or the main backbone might be the cause if your issues......

So many different things affect latency.

I aint never seen a good lookin chick workin a Mcd's drive through!  I I've seen some cuties at Sonic though.

My Mcd's window person is usually a pimply, puss oozing faced kid with coke glasses, dried spit in the corners of his mouth due all the braces and greasy hair. And on hot days, there's usually some massive pit stains under his arms!

No offense to anyone here of course.

None taken by me Stank, I agree with you most of the ones I have seen are fat ass pigs or better! 

36 here! not as old as some, not as young as others, in the middle I guess!

Oh well, life goes on....

I have had Dway back twice to ground system.  The last time he changed all 8 connectors to the correct waterproof type.

I have plain old RG6,  he said quad sheild was not needed.  He also said because my modem had a ground on it I did not need to ground dish??  I explained that is why he was sent back for the 3rd time and if he was sure he should not install per Dway installation directions on page 4 ??

He ran a ground wire!  ~Looser~

Nearly all codes state in the NEC, any equipment mouted on the exterior shall be grounded, this is not an option, ship his ass in to your local building inspector/firemarshall

I think they should have in detail before you sign up complete information on the real true speeds and details on there FAP and then see how many people sign up with them.

I for one would not have signed up if I knew what I know now.

I called and asked them questions before I signed up, because I heard about lame speeds, they told me I would get upto 50kbs up and 500 down, which sounded better then my dial up, they failed to tell me that is the connection speeds NOT THE TRANSFER speeds!

Muther Fockers!

meh, last time i went to micky d's was a couple years back. i ordered some chicken nuggests, was laughing with my friends, popped a couple in my mouth, started chewing, and then suddenly... crunch, crunch, cruch...

i was chewing on f-ing chicken bones! i run out to the bathroom, ignoring my friends, (who were clutching their sides in laughter at this point...), where there was already somebody else in there throwing up, (one of my bros dumbass friends... somebody bet him he couldnt eat like twenty packets of salt or something...), and started puking my guts out.

i went out to the counter and started yelling at them, asking whos bright idea was it to put bones in the nuggets, and they actually asked me, 'are you sure you werent just chewing on a burnt nugget, sir?' and im like 'NO! i dont f-ing eat black chicken nuggets! whatre u thinking!?!'

nice memory, huh?

Nice! I seem to remember a few years back they found someones finger in a burger at McD's and another time false teath! anyone remember this?

Ok..... deffinatly not what i thought this thread was about..

Yes, please share your thoughts with us 

Now come on, whats wrong with DirecWay?????

Please, if you run out of numerics when listing, use alphanumerics! LMAO

Welcome! enjoy your stay! we are all friends here 

"slowed down [mentally and technologically] by DirecWay"

Is that whats doing it? you know something funny, I started talking hindu in my sleep! jabbering on about nothing, my wife thinks I would be excellent for tech support for Dway!

Going to Ebay now to find a pretty colored towel!

Ok, before I go, I have a joke..... what is 6 foot long and full of shit?

A: A directway Tech Support turbin!

go into myDirecWay.com, log on, then click on billing.

Ohh, thanks! feel like a dumbass now

Didnt read the rest...but

roffle...

1) You do not get a paper bill......this is not included with your service,

Can someone let me know if direcway send out bills? I mean, I know they charge my C/C but do they send you a bill or something? I am witing for my second billing cycle so I can get my $100 back off them....

How does it work?

well, not to light the powder keg here, specially on my first day back here in awhile, but i think that france is our ally:

1, they probably gave the info because everybody in the world was pissed off at us for starting the war in the first place, so it was probably just politics, not an act of war.

2. until they launch something at us, whether it be a missile, nuke, or french baguette (those things can hurt...), i consider them to be an ally.

3. just my nature to go with the under-dog on lots of stuff...

4. and because we (americans) acted like dumbasses, calling shit freedom fries and stuff.

and if this does blow the keg, i dont want someone saying that by going with france, im going against america. this isnt a poll about which u side with, france or usa, but more of whats your opinion on whether or not theyre still willing to help us out. anyways, imma go have a chili dog and some salsa. **Spicy!**

I beleive we did not start the war, not getting to deep into this, but we did not fly planes into the world trade center and kill some 3000 people, or what ever the number was! we acted as we should have, we went after the assholes!

Again, we did not start the war!

The above image does it no justice....

I made some changes to make it look right...

I guess McYuks is now bringing its workers to work in redesigned vehicles suited for McYuk employees......

the dway test sucks.

The marking on my cable say the following..... "perfect vision RG6 75 Ohm, 18 AWG 3 Gigaherts Rated.

Think he told me it was dual sheilded cable.

Heres a first for me!! typical, I post the above and get results like this...

Go figure

I would like to see peoples upload speeds, or your average upload speeds would work, I personaly do a lot of uploading to several sites I have/maintain...... My upload speeds suck for the most.

Let see yours and compare!

DONT MAKE ME PHONE THE INDIANS! PLEASE TELL ME! WAHHHHHHH

Just in case some of you guys are wondering how good McYuks is for you, here is some info on there food content.....http://www.weightlossforall.com/fat-mcdonalds.htm

Which brings me to the question..... I know where chicken wings come from, I know where chicken breast comes from, but where do chicken nuggets come from????? makes you wonder huh!

Please do not give a correct answer to this, for some who may think I am serious about the above, read it again! lol
