Slower

With a local server I get 69 MB but with testmy.net it's about half that.. http://speedtest.ookla.com/result/2017985056.png

I spent more time FAP'ed on DW than I did on normal service. I'm so glad I'm off that birdie... < removed attachment. This is testmy.net no other speed test site results please, thx>

Point was directed at a totally different post. And your point?

You have a good memory Tommie! I have never looked back. A good lesson in life is that any corporation has to be successful to offer a GOOD product. I'd hate to see Charter come under government control as a reward for being unsuccessful. Obama cable company overhaul with speeds up to and including .00001 Mbps...

The span between your post and my comment was nearly 5 years. Looks like I was wise to keep my crystal ball after all these years.

I think your bash is a bit behind the times psycodad. That post you replied to was 4 years old.. I gave up my dsl and directway for Charter long ago.. I have no problems with Charter..

$69 bucks a month

Haven't done one in awhile but charter is not as crappy as normal..

Now that you mentioned it Tommy, my Charter upload IS faster than my DW download. :haha: :::..

Pssssst, just got back from the post office.... I've got a real problem with DW now. My computer was wireless and DW was plugged into the ethernet so I could toggle back and forth. With all this darn speed I had to go ethernet to router and than to cable modem. What to do.. I might just go postal... This is the fastest upload since I had the 7000 on beta at 600 up.. I getting about 950 kb..

Charter just turned me up to 10 meg tonight. WOW! I put the main CPU back on hard wire Ethernet instead of wireless because the wireless wasn't keeping up. Getting anywhere from 8 to 10 meg down and 980 kb up... Hard to take... If I blink my eyes I don't see the screen refresh and think it's still the same window.

I'm trying a little faster Charter service that just got into town.... :::..

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Mine slowed to slower than that.. Back on cable now, I'm trying to fine out if Charter 10meg will ever get to my area.. That would be real neat..

Careful, anything over 10,000 would blast a satellite user into the next century..

Welcome! My DW7000 most of the time will only give me about 800 down and 100 up. We each usually have a different transponder, some are crowded so speeds will be very different depending on the transponder. When I was doing beta testing with the same 7000 modem and dish I could get 2000 down and 600 up day and night. But that was uncapped and with a beta uncrowded transponder..

When you are paying 80 bucks a month for a dialup connection like I was it's not brave but just practical..

Shhhhhh, someone at NOC might be watching and load up your transponder with new accounts.. Seriously, those are darn good for consumer. I'm on SatMax 5..

778 is pretty slow slower. Even for hughes. Yep I agree.. But at 5 am today I lost cable for about an hour.. Hughes looked like an oasis to me at the time..

Slower are you doing the SmarTest? Yes it was the SmarTest but only at 1496 kb..
