You can't do much to help, except maybe tell them what satellite they're on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostmaster Posted January 14, 2006 CID Share Posted January 14, 2006 Are they like that all the time? Those speeds look like what a lot fo people are getting at night due to some problem on Dway's end. Have you done the same speeds test during the day?

There's not much you can do on a system like this, I hope you know. Basically all he can tell us is what satellites we're on, what rate code we have, if we're grounded or not ( a step by step process that involves the user quite a bit, and something technicians should know a lot about), and what satellite's are having problems. He can't really get us more speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdawnaz Posted January 14, 2006 CID Share Posted January 14, 2006 there is no validation for any testmy members that they are who they say they are...who do you say you are???...now before you answer...do you have proof??...just kidding...but you see my point...why does HE and only HE have to show any proof?... just say welcome...and let him show how he can help...

Yes, but I never said I was a technician. I just want to see some background info, and from what I've heard and talked to, Direcway technical support isn't that impressive...

Techplus Posted January 14, 2006 CID Share Posted January 14, 2006 What conditions would be necessary for a system to achieve 256k 4/5? I have the 7000 with a signal strength of 93 and have only seen 256k 2/3. What is it that allows the higher numbers? DW7000, SatMex 5 970mhz, WinXP SP2.

I have the 7000 with a signal strength of 93 and have only seen 256k 2/3. What is it that allows the higher numbers? DW7000, SatMex 5 970MHz, WinXP SP2. Log into: http://192.168.0.1/fs/advanced/advanced.html And look in the left-hand menu items for Force Ranging. It's near the bottom. Click this and a small pp-up window will appear, letting you know it's optimizing network timing. When this reads something to the effect of "Ranging unnecessary", or something like that, close the little window, and refresh the main one. Look for the 4/5 rate code. If you don't get it, try again. Sometimes it takes several times. When you get it, re-test your speeds at non-peak hours. You should see a noticeable improvement with your uploads.

ghostmaster Posted January 14, 2006 CID Share Posted January 14, 2006 Really depends on what Sat you are pointed at. 256k 2/3 seems pretty comparable to 4/5 if you can get it. Just upload are slightly lower. Im on AMC9 1370 on the Pro plan w/out static. My is always 4/5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
