Personaly I dont like there french fries, taste like a dried out tampon most of the time. And before you ask Idont know what one is like........ But if it is like there fries then I can guess. And yes, they mess mine up nearly everytime I use the drive through, question is..... How retarded are these people getting these days, no one wants to work for them so they have to take what they can get! How many times have you been through the drive through (24 hour) and been told the ice cream machine is broken? and it dont matter what time you go through its always broken! And why cant I get a big macofcrap at 2.00 am? I DONT WANT YOUR CRAPPY BREAKFAST JUNK, I WANNA BIG CRAPPYMAC.......

So no one knows? come on guys, you know you know! tell me.....LOL

So you call this Boradband huh? us regulars round these parts dont take to kind to that sort of talk! LMAO

We are all happy for you! One more down, that means more speed for us LMAO

Anyone have a listing for ports on the 6000? my FTP speeds up are basicly SHIT, the speeds down are not all that great either. My FTP does not go through a proxy which I think is the issue, if I use the standard port 87 it will not work. I know FTP uses port 21, but I dont think this works either, anyone have an idea on ports for the shitty 6000?

Interesting! but what about the contract?

Looking into it the pricing structure is a bit messed up, looks like there talking about a 3 year contract too, I saw the first price and thought wow, $100 cheaper then I paid, but then I looked closer, still has 50kb up unless you goto the new starband unit with a nice pricetag! My fault, should have looked into it a bit more, thanks for pointing that out fikester!

OHH my god, I made a big mistake, I did not even know Starband was avalible in the US, its cheaper, faster and NO FAP! http://www.starband.com/findadealer/index.asp

Star band avalible in the US?

So do I with the suckyest speeds! LMAO :::..

Because they know the DW4000 are more difficult to control, they have complete control over the DW6000 units!

No worries!

I am sorry, I withdraw that comment! LMFAO

Firewall is off, DHCP cannot be turned off.... The way I had my router set up was like this.... DW6000 was plugged into the wan port, so no DHCP was allowed past the wan. My router was configured to be 192.168.1.1, my wan port was 192.168.1.2 and my default gateway was 192.168.0.1, seemed to work ok for me, did not notice any speed issues because the speed is never stable anyway. Then you can use your router to issue IP's on the 192.168.1.* range... The only static IP you will have is on the DW6000, not your puters, but you can set them static, but I would not, static IP is not a good idea, unless you like hackers, your always on connection and a static IP is an invitation for them to play with you, so the modem plugged into the wan port works best, dont leave your network open, remember, the firewall is not up on the DW6000.

No, you dont need to rewire the house, all you do is go outside and disconnect from the drop box, then plug the voange into your home phone network, but anyway, it wont work with dish so no worries there. If I had Real BROADBAND not this junk DW6000 I would go for it, would save me $40 a month just by using vonage.

At the speed Direcwaytooslow runs, thats about average

Good deal, I cant send mine back, I sent in the damn UPC label for the $60 rebate, but I dont have service so I got screwed and no one will take it back when you send in a UPC! And when you get to circuit city, let them know they are providing you with the wrong answers and politly tell them in which hole they can stick it

I hit the FAP at least 12 times already this month, and I could not count last month, it does come to a crawl, if not a standstill!

Ok, now I got your attention, so you want to have a laugh? ok you will need to follow this link http://www.mydirecway.com/mydw/common/2way/dw6-upgrade.jsp There you will see something funny, and I am sure you will upgrade to the new [glow=red,2,300]DW6000[/glow], Click on the [glow=red,2,300]FAQ[/glow] for the funny stuff! Heres one thing I thought was amusing, and I am sure you can tell me if its true or not!

Ok, I am the king of Vonage on DW6000, dont bother, simple as that, it will work fine receiving, transmitting it drops packets like you would not beleive....... I still got my vonage adaptor if you want it, cost me $60 and never used! I got screwed, Vonage tells you it will work over satelitte, MY ASS!

I agree with Fikester! If I knew then, what I know now, I would have told that Indian to stick the dish on his elephant! They told me my speed should average between 500Kb/s down, which it does most times and 50Kb/s up which it never has, I am using my FTP client uploading a 2.5 Mb file, you know how long its taking? so far 3 hours!!!!!! My damn modem was faster then this thing. As for the FAP, no one told me about that bullcrap, I signed up online and I guess Direcwaytooslow failed to point out anything about the FAP, I am sure someone will show me it but I never did see it on the sign up. $700.00 to buy the junk and $60 a month, dude I will drop this in a heartbeat if Cable or DSL comes down my road. This FAP is bull, why would someone offer a broadband (HUH) service if they cap you at 160 mb, do they realise how much graphics are in a website these days? flash sites consume a lot of bandwidth, thats the reason I left my dial-up service, sure it opens real fast, eventualy. I would do the same thing as mentioned above, draw a nice picture on the dish and point it at mars or something, you wont get much inteligent life talking with D-Way. Ohh your costs for an engineer to come out and set you up will hurt you, your looking at least $200, AT LEAST, and thats if they screw the thing to your roof! if its mounted elsewhere you got more costs, $150 I was quoted for a pole in my yard! They got you by the balls, and besides, if you come on D-Way that more of my bandwidth your going to steal, so stay with your dial-up! do not come on D-Way lmao
