Rafter Posted March 26, 2005 CID Share Posted March 26, 2005 Well, Cable and Verizon DSL are available 1/2 from my house, but they just won't come onto my road. So for right now I am stuck with Direcway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlh24 Posted March 26, 2005 CID Share Posted March 26, 2005 I think that would be a good idea since the 2 systems are like night and day. Cable please consider this request. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fikester Posted December 17, 2005 CID Share Posted December 17, 2005 its hard to imagine a Columbus cloud would not hand you a red flag, I start to lose service below 30 with red flags....usually only happens in heavy rain, but my signal is around 80 normally, heavy clouds drop the signal 3-7 points easy. glad it works for you......if you are only able to surf on blue sky, definitely would be on the phone.

Slower Posted December 17, 2005 CID Share Posted December 17, 2005 I heard somewhere on the net you can receive DW with less than 15 signal in a hurricane with Reverends settings.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Fan Posted December 17, 2005 CID Share Posted December 17, 2005 I'm down to 31 when more people are on and it's been going out from 7 to 10 at night during peak hours. It's way off, I've left a message for my installer but he hasn't called back. Tomorrow I'll be going up on the roof and tightening the dish to see if it's gone off line at all.

Slower Posted December 17, 2005 CID Share Posted December 17, 2005 Probably too many folks using the Reverends settings and knocking all of us offline. I heard he has a new secret program to neutralize the action of the first program and put the DW user back on top.. I'll have to do a goggle when my connection comes back up..

tommie gorman Posted March 2, 2006 CID Share Posted March 2, 2006 Just to give a congrats to the Rev's work. Kind of like Hitler, he might of gotten run off, but he did build one heck of a Volkswagen! Also I wanted to pull this a little closer to the top so it could help a few more folks out here. Plus I was tired of having to dig so far to get the info for other folks! PS I believe this is the hottest viewed topic on Direcway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soooo, Im back to my Charter account again.. Nice avatar Bird Fan.. :D How do you trip a vacuum relay? Might actually help me out if you would. And what did that do for you actually, please explain!

Slower Posted March 4, 2006 CID Share Posted March 4, 2006 How do you trip a vacuum relay? Might actually help me out if you would. And what did that do for you actually, please explain! All I know is what I read on the internet. The Reverend was working in Costa Rica on some kind of a doomsday clock to tweak settings on electrical relays. From what I understand that's how he made such good progress with the DW6000. He runs his relays in a dielectric medium that is much more efficient than what DW uses. DW's relays are manufactured with slave labor in a poor country to save money, so they just can't hold signal.. Unlike Hitler, the Reverend is still alive, and I agree, he will be back....

Did he do the changes to his hardware? EDIT: I just saw the thing about Direcway's slave labor, so it must be hardware related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting to see what he was working on. Maybe someone might be able to advance it further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
