DirecPC DW 7000 1.2 Metre Dish = Still Slow

Guest Tedzepplin

I have direcPC for years now and I have always disliked it. I think they lie like crazy to their customers, but unfortunately, I live in a very rural area, I have no other options. I consider this the price I pay to have no neighbors for miles and miles  :D Anyhow, I just switched to the new DW 7000, and wondered if anyone had any tweaks they could send me.

Welcome to the forum Tedzepplin

First you should test with the 2992 file test, not the smart test.

And be  sure to clean out your cache. Top of your browser, Tools*Internet Options*Delete Files*Offline Content also*OK*OK*Test

Second have you read this?

http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-4257

Now after your comp is clean try  this tweak. It works well for Dway sat.

Follow it word for word.

Download the attachment at the top of the pic., not the bottom.

Post a speed test first, so we can see the progress.  ;)

Well I'm still not up to old speeds with my reinstalled os. So tommie you might want to reconsider going to a 4000. I do get in the 2200 range late at night or early morn. But I'm still working it.lol

WOW! My uploads are much faster now, thats for sure. I believe that the slower result for the download test may be a resuilt of a window I had accidently left open. Thank you for your advice fellow posters, I appreciate everything everyone had to say.  :D

Closed the window and had to try again....Yup, that's what it was, silly window running a Flash rolling banner!

Hey Tedzepplin and kol, check those speeds on Sat. morning. They might be faster, it takes a couple of days to set in real good.
