.s1, no, I am saying that is what SE is reporting to me. Aggr3, thanks for your welcome. I do not "believe" SE or Dway, but I also have no cause to believe testmy.net. I simply don't know, and asked if there was an explanation for the disparity. My belief is that slow ul speeds have more to do with latency issues than with ul streaming limitations. For instance, checking my email with the POP3 protocol is painfully slow, not because of ul speed per se, but because of the telnet protocol used that requires a lot of server-client back and forth replies. I think that the successful use of VOIP also shows that Dway uploading can be fairly efficient if a streaming protocol is used. You can be certain that it does not take 6 minutes to ul 500K of VOIP packets the same way as it takes 6 min to ul a 500K file. NAVMAN NAVMAN

.s1, I don't know if I buy that. First, I went to LAX.speakeasy.net (in California): 2005-05-01 08:21:02 EST: 811 / 490 Your download speed : 831199 bps, or 811 kbps. A 101.4 KB/sec transfer rate. Your upload speed : 502197 bps, or 490 kbps. Then wdc.speakeasy.net (Washington, DC): 2005-05-01 08:26:37 EST: 838 / 349 Your download speed : 858679 bps, or 838 kbps. A 104.8 KB/sec transfer rate. Your upload speed : 358102 bps, or 349 kbps. Then testmy.net using 579K file: :::.. Upload Stats ..::: Connection is:: 82 Kbps about 0.1 Mbps (tested with 579 kB) Upload Speed is:: 10 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (main) Test Time:: Sun May 01 2005 08:29:15 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time) Bottom Line:: 1X faster than 56K 1MB upload in 102.4 sec Diagnosis: Awesome! 20% + : 95.24 % faster than the average for host (direcpc.com) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-MO21JGZEB BTW, I am in Northern Virginia, quite close to DC. 579K is pretty close to the 500K you say SE uses. I wonder if the ul protocol is the same for both. If SE uses fewer acknowledgements in their protocol, this might explain it (latency issues). NAVMAN

Hello All: Not sure if this should be in Dway forum but.... I am using Dway w DW6000. Testing with testymy.net and wdc.speakeasy.net, my dl speeds are comparable (800K or so), but I get vastly different ul speeds. Speakeasy gives me ul speeds anywhere from 20K to 600K depending on time of day. Testmy.net gives me ul speeds always below 100K. Any explanation? I have a feeling that the slower ul speeds are correct. NAVMAN
