Bad download speeds on DW6000

Tommie gorman, follow the advise by The Reverend in this thread http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=1703.0 . Make sure to follow it step by step. Get a good registry cleaner. I use RegScrubXP. Run a antivirus program. Defrag your system. Anything over 1% is going to hurt your speed. Those tip should get you some better speed. Changing what you use such as tcpoptimizer then changing to cablenut daily will not let the NOC detect and adjust to your system. So pick one and give what ever optimizer you choose to use a couple of days to see what your results are. Of course if your dish is not pointed or grounded correctly no tip is going to help.

Have you ran the tcp optimizer, and cable nut?  Also make sure you connect to the proxy and get rid of viruses, ad ware, spyware and all that stuff.  If you can, windows update I think helps, (getting sp2).  Other than that, try clearing your history/cache and cookies...Also (for me at least) Firefox tends to give me about half the download speed than IE.  I'm on IA8 89 W 1150

Here are my download speeds (its like evening hours 6:45pm so its sort of slow)

Usually later at night or earlier in the day its about 120-130 download speed.

I was just referring to Decade's comment earlier,did not know  if they could work together.(Have you ran the tcp optimizer, and cable nut?)

What time of day, and what type of computer, maybe a speed test result.

I only have Rev's settings and T6522 emachines, Dway 6000, Consumer Account.

You could probably run a little faster.

Your test does look good. I just did one as well. This is about as good as it gets for this time of day. I have the consumer account as well.

Machine is stable and quick to load pages when I use the DirecWay proxy. I normally use random ones not in the U.S. so that slows me down some. I use TCPOptimizer, XPSmoker, along with diskkeeper 8.

Edited to include test with proxy.

That is typical speed for most proxies I use outside of the U.S.

You know they are all saying that 6000 speeds stink but as far as all the trouble they are having with their 7000's I have not seen enough reason to spend money on changing over. And they are on the 7000 pro accounts. I always want to go go go faster but somethings are not worth paying too much extra. Not enough bang for buck. They say I get speeds they could never get on their old 6000's.

You would be easier to find on your posts and look a little more outstanding if you added an avatar to your profile. And if you add a little computer information to your signature, you would have a lot less questions asked during replies back to you. Just thought it my help. ;) ;) ;)

The more information, the less repeated questions later.

I still kind of think that you're speeds may not be totally accurate. Maybe you could take the 5mb test, but I don't know where to find it.

I used to get around 140kb/s on my other computer with the 6000, but when I took the 5mb test, I got a little under the speeds I'm getting now.

The main reason people upgraded was because they wanted faster upload speeds...

Sure looks like prime time to me.

Try the test now if I can find it again?

That's much more accurate... Still a very nice speed with the 6000. I wouldn't test too often with the test, though. It will waste your FAP.
