Thanks for the referral to ways to increase performance.  I am doing most, but there are a few suggestions I will put into place, plus I like the recommended schedule.  Cleaning cookies have always been a problem as I would just search and delete.  This is much cleaner.

I have an old call into tech support for a service tomorrow, but thinking to cancel it as I doubt he can improve over what we have done.  Repointing the dish has moved me from 39 to 60-69. Still need to check the slow downs (heavy user time?) to see where  what happens.  On September 16 my 30 days are up, so need to make a decision. I really want this to work, not to mention the loss of several hundred dollars.

Thanks again. 

Being new to satellite and out in the boonies I am wondering if the speed we are getting is reasonable. This is after lots of phone calls and adjustments. Comments please.

How do I check my DL & UL speeds with the results as show above?  I just signed up with a DW7000, but seem to have terrible speeds.  It is slower than my old dial up! Thanks.
