steve47906 Posted January 21, 2006 CID Share Posted January 21, 2006 anybody else have any problems with the direcway speed test ? Maybe i should first ask does anybody even use it? seems like it only works for me if the download part of the test runs slow ..if the download is testing fast it always hangs up on the upload and never gives me a result.im on the 7000 pro Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Fan Posted January 21, 2006 CID Share Posted January 21, 2006 I've never run it, and probably never will. The Direcway techs recommend it so they can "monitor" your speeds. I doubt that it's anywhere near as accurate as the one on here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparke Posted January 21, 2006 CID Share Posted January 21, 2006 I upgraded to the DW7000 today and ran the test. The test worked fine for me but speeds were no better that DW6000. Maybe the download was 10% better but upload is still in the 2-4 kb/s range. Speeds on the DW test and the testmy test are similar. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcalt Posted January 21, 2006 CID Share Posted January 21, 2006 The only time I had problems like that was when my uploads were way down in the teens and single digits but at that time the upload tests here would not complete half the time either. Bird Fan is right... Direcway techs recommend it because when they are helping you troubleshoot your system they can look at your logs. I was ask to run the test on their system a few times (3 or 4) at different intervals of the day (morning/noon/night) to establish a pattern. and for that reason I still do that just to have a record when I do have to call them. As jparke stated, I find the 2 tests are similar... January 21st, 12:50AM - 997/151 kbps January 21st, 12:48AM - 999/134 kbps January 21st, 12:46AM - 1000/156 kbps :::..
