The Reverend Posted January 18, 2005 CID Share Posted January 18, 2005 It has just been confirmed that at least one transponder is having problems on the sat known as G3C, and 1420 seems to be the hardest hit. So if there is anyone reading who is using 1420 who is NOT having problems would you please let me know. This could all be some big lie from DWay while they make money cheating people out of bandwidth while putting the choke on certain frequencies. And if they are doing that, I have an FCC Report to file. Thanks! The Reverend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmillham Posted January 18, 2005 CID Share Posted January 18, 2005 I'm on G3C 1420, and the speed has not been good since the problems over the weekend. Download speed (from testmy) is 161K. I also made the changes that you suggested in your "Overspeed" posting. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Posted January 18, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 18, 2005 Hey there Brian and welcome to our little corner of cyberspace, Testmy.Net!! TY for supplying that info. Looks like it is confirmed, now the only thing left is to find out why! I'll post if I can get a straight answer out of someone, or intercept their traffic. Thanks again and make yourself to home.....this place changes by the minute! Cheers! The Reverend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakecity10 Posted January 18, 2005 CID Share Posted January 18, 2005 I'm on G3C 1420 also. Since the outage it has been slow and sporadic. While my speeds have been in the 200-800 range up mail (IE) would time out until late yesterday. I'ts OK now. Today, there is a 10-45 second wait until a page loads. Speed slows down starting mid-day, is best early AM (I'm MST zone). I apreciate your work and updates on what's going on with DW. lakecity10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Posted January 18, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 18, 2005 You are most welcome, but I am MORE appreciative of your feedback or I would simply be dead in the water you see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmechanic Posted January 18, 2005 CID Share Posted January 18, 2005 I'm in the same boat as lakecity10... if you have seen my test results in some of the other posts today, you'll get an idea of what I've been dealing with here. Here's a current test for about 9:45 pm. I'm not going to wait thru the big one again. :::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 235 Kbps about 0.2 Mbps (tested with 748 KB) Download Speed is:: 29 KB/s Tested From:: http://www.testmy.net/ Bottom Line:: 4 times faster than 56K you can download 1MB in 35.31 second(s) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/cgi-bin/get.cgi?Test_ID=20IOKVNUS Still pretty crappy, even now...

The Reverend Posted January 18, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 18, 2005 I am running "flat out" ....so what you are getting is confined to that bird if not that frequency. I can't pull any info on it yet because nothing has been posted except to say they have "noticed" there may be a problem. (Really? No Shit)?

The Reverend Posted January 18, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 18, 2005 LakeCity10, I gave you the first applause because nobody comes into this Forum and leaves empty-handed! Cheers! "The Reverend" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmillham Posted January 18, 2005 CID Share Posted January 18, 2005 I just called Dway to complain. They say there is no problem with G3C 1420, and insisted that I disconnect my switch (which is a dumb switch)_ before they could work on the problem further. I explained that the switch works fine; file xfers to the other 2 PC don't have problems. The switch has no forewall software. They refused to send me to level 2 support, since I wouldn't (really practically can't tonight) bypass the switch. I'll bypass to tomorrow evening, and try again.

bmillham Posted January 18, 2005 CID Share Posted January 18, 2005 Interesting... Something just changed after I got off the phone with Dway. My last test to testmy when I was on the phone with them was 222Kbps. Now it's 563kps, just tested again, 800kbs, and a final test 654kps. Strange that there is no problem, but my speed just jumped!

bmillham Posted January 18, 2005 CID Share Posted January 18, 2005 More interesting info. The above speed tests were done using TurboMozilla. I asked Dway support wich browser to use, he said either. I just tested with IE, and am getting downloads of 1200kps.. As a sanity check, I just downloaded a 1.8M file using command line FTP. The speed for that download was 70kps.

xmechanic Posted January 18, 2005 CID Share Posted January 18, 2005 Well whatever they did helped me too... I was at 29 KiBps a little earlier and look now! :::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 671 Kbps about 0.7 Mbps (tested with 748 KB) Download Speed is:: 82 KB/s Tested From:: http://www.testmy.net/ Bottom Line:: 12 times faster than 56K you can download 1MB in 12.49 second(s) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/cgi-bin/get.cgi?Test_ID=MKYN7BJFP Still won't win any races, but better than it was.
