The Reverend Posted January 18, 2005 CID Share Posted January 18, 2005 Seems a particular transponder (1420) on G3C isn't interested in working for Direcway anymore, so everyone that was having trouble has been repatched (temporarily) through other systems with only a slight degradation in speed.

bmillham Posted January 19, 2005 CID Share Posted January 19, 2005 My speeds on G3C 1420 were in the 1000-1100 range last night. Tonight, when I got home, they were in the 600-700 range. OK, no problem, congestion. At 10PM EST, speeds were 100-200, not acceptible, so I call Dway again. After about 1 hour on the phone, I working with advanced support (and speeds are now down to about 30-60). He has me reboot my system in Safe-mode (with networking). Same results. Asks me to hold. After about 10 minutes, I'm disconnected. So I call back. Now I'm told that advanced support is closed, and if my call was on hold at the time that they close, that's probably why I was disconnected. I demand a supervisor. I've been listening to ringing for about 15 minutes at this time (11:47PM Est) I'm stuborn, so I'm hanging up, and trying again....

Indestructable Posted January 19, 2005 CID Share Posted January 19, 2005 rev, don't they have to send some astronauts up there to fix the satelite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmillham Posted January 19, 2005 CID Share Posted January 19, 2005 They appologized for sending me to never-never land, and connected me to a supervisor. He apoligized also, and said he would make a change, watch the light on the modem. Now my speeds are from 500-800Kbps. Not like the 1100 last night, but better. They still won't admit that there is a problem with G3C 1420. He did say that they will have advanced support call me tomorrow night at 7PM. We'll see what happens from that....
