justinlay Posted December 22, 2004 CID Share Posted December 22, 2004 whats up with the DW6000? is it cap at 1 Mb or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Posted December 23, 2004 CID Share Posted December 23, 2004 I dunno "justinlay". The fastest I have ever seen with mine is 1088 ....yet most often it hangs around the mid-900's. During the day I'll fall down to a whopping 150 or less, but in the 'wee hours' (like 3:00AM) it's the fastest. So, it is obviously a case of DirecWay selling more accounts than they can handle ....so everyone using DW6000 'channels' are getting the short end of the stick (mostly). There are a few out there that do not seem to be affected. I'm on G4R @ 1201MHz ...I hate it! Supposedly I'm supposed to be getting (up to) 1.5, yet the latest advertising states 1.0Mbps. I don't think DirecWay knows what they are supposed to be doing because each tech you call tells you a different story. It's maddening to say the very least. Here's my results "fresh off the testmy.net press!" :::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 753 Kbps about 0.8 Mbps (tested with 386 KB) Download Speed is:: 92 KB/s Tested From:: http://www.testmy.net/ Bottom Line:: 13 times faster than 56K you can download 1MB in 11.13 second(s) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/cgi-bin/auth_check.cgi?num=252525 And this is supposedly their fastest account? lol.... It bites! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reverend Posted December 23, 2004 CID Share Posted December 23, 2004 Say Justinlay ....you don't get better results with an MTU of 1500? (If I set mine to your figure I'll fall through the floor). I know that ALL of DirecWay (or so I was told) uses an MTU of 1500 ...so what's the real scoop? Thanks!
