And here is a perfect example...
These type speeds are not uncommon at all in the evenings:

NICE HUH???

I agree.
I have never gotten over 1Mbps downloads for the most part. Almost every speed test I run on here that is up there tops out right at 1Mbps.
Uploads are not great either. I swapped early and didn't know it would be a loss of speed. I can't afford to do what some are to go back.
Unless you really don't want the software on your main machine, I would not switch either.

Here is an "I wish" for Direcway....
These speeds are on a friend of mine's Business DSL line from Verizon.

Let me know if your speeds stay up there. Those speeds are unheard of I think with a 6000.

Or....
"I was in New York City last week. Didn't you drive my cab?"

If you start going to Indian restaurants, maybe you can start to understand what the hell they are saying.
I wonder if they get tired of us saying "I'm sorry, I couln't understand you. Can you repeat that?"

What kind of cheese is that? Looks like it has some moldy specks on it!!
That's ok though, grandma always told me to cut them off, it's still good

Just a tidbit on upload speeds....
I have been averaging in the high 50Kbps range on uploads since I applied all the tweaks. I generally use the smaller files because I am impatient (hence my pain with Dway). Here is a link to my averages since I applied the tweaks:
https://testmy.net/personal_stats_30d.php?User_Name=JoeOtto&m=02&d=28&Y=2005
On Saturday morning, however, I had to upload 64 MB of photos to some photo site. According to the upload applet on the site, I started in the 40KB/Sec range and by the end, I averaged 11.3KB/sec for the whole upload. I timed it and did the rough math and agree with the value.
Although 11KB/sec isn't great, it is 3 times faster than I could get with dial-up from my home. (Dial-up here usually runs between 3.2 and 3.8KB/Sec both ways.
I can still whine though, can't I?
-
I get that problem once in a while in the evenings. I have never gotten it during the overnight or early morning. Early morning on weekends usually really flies (within DirecWay standards) I usually wait until early AM to do any heavy downloading. I have never tried to download any files over 1 GB though. WOW.

I probably shouldn't post these, because it will jinx me, but these are great for Dway at this time of the night (9;30 pm on a Friday)

Who knows, maybe I won't be worthy!
-
Jewelz,
What tweaks have you tried on yours?
Have you checked your cross-pol numbers?
-
I have completely given up on Dway support unless it is broken and I can't get on. Even then I do a reset and wait a while before I try!
-
Was that 1184 Kbps speed on a DW6000?
I have never gotten about 1012 or so. Usually 995 with every tweak I can find on here!
Which transponder on SatMex5?
-
It can't be much bigger than that, the whole test usually takes about 10 seconds for me.
No wonder none of them believe the speeds suck. They always reference their test, and those results aren't half bad!
-
This is probably a mistake, but I signed up to be a Beta Tester.
I just KNOW I am going to hate myself for it!
-
And right after that, I ran Dway's crappy test:
The test is running...
This test may take 1-2 minutes to complete.
For accurate results, please avoid all Internet activity until the
test is finished.
..
** Speed: 626(down)/256(up) kbps **
(At least 18 times faster than a 33 kbps modem)
Finish.

Here you go: (I was in a hurry to leave last night, and didn't run the tests then)

I believe this is typical. Since I don't upload much, the smaller test is more indicative of speeds browsing (I have no complaints there most of the time) For uploading photos or a song. AWFUL! We wait until bed time and do it then!

I would go Postal if I could! I just can't afford plane fare to India!!

I make a concerted effort NOT to call Dway Support. I don't have time to be on the phone for two hours. I have an outstanding DHCP issue with my DW6000 that I simply gave up on and bought a router to do DHCP.
Right now, except for in the evenings, I have no issues really with download speeds. And, compared to what you guys are seeing, I am not going to bitch too much about my upload:

This download speed is slow for me. I have been running in the 70-90Kbps range since I applied The Reverend's tweaks.

Now it all makes sense!!!!
It is simple Direcway logic:
If 2500kpbs = Infinity, then 500kbps = Really Sweet.
Maybe if we remind them that infinity isn't really 2500kbps, they will understand 500kbps = Crap and will fix it!!!
