boater50 Posted January 16, 2005 CID Share Posted January 16, 2005 FYI Sent an email to Direcway Support regarding speeds. Got a nice email with several things to try and four sites to test download speeds. My speed has been great since the email. I did nothing to tweak system etc. Running a DW6000, Windows XP. I just hope it stays this way. I enjoy the posts and the site very much. :::..

The Reverend Posted January 16, 2005 CID Share Posted January 16, 2005 HEY THAT IS MORE LIKE IT!!!!!! yes! You can expect your speeds to be higher on weekends and slower on weekdays ....as usual, but you can now always rest assured that unless something is wrong at NOC (maryland) you'll run faster than before, and most likely faster than at the moment because DWay is holding back just a tad right now. Try it at like 5:00AM (2992 test) for the very best idea ...you may be pleasantly surprised. Mine is only a bit faster than yours at this second ...so you are "in the pink." Cheers! "The Rev" Thanks for your data: That means you are on SatMex5 117 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
