Mtnfolk Posted February 13, 2007 CID Share Posted February 13, 2007 I had the same problem with my DW4000, download was between 8 and 45 kbps during peak times. So I upgreaded to the HN7000S and down load speed is between 200 and 300kbps. Which I believe is slow I am on the Pro plan and Hughes customer support could care less. They have 11 birds in the air seems like they could do better. Wildblue just as bad and only have one bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aerodude Posted February 13, 2007 CID Share Posted February 13, 2007 Its been doing this a week now, thought it'd clear up by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granpa Posted February 14, 2007 CID Share Posted February 14, 2007 Its been doing this a week now, thought it'd clear up by now. Malware and spyware free? Have you done any physical checking on your system, shut off and remove all connections and look for corrosion, check the feed and see if any moisture or ice behind the mylar cover.? If nothing there are you speeds like this all the time? Other than that there is no information for anyone to go on (example, I have a car that doesn't seem to be working right, what's wrong with it?).

tommie gorman Posted February 14, 2007 CID Share Posted February 14, 2007 Which modem are you using? How long have you had it? Could something have happened to your grounding of the system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granpa Posted February 14, 2007 CID Share Posted February 14, 2007 i unplug and touch the end. sometimes it clears. but i have no mylar cover (im guessing thats the grey thing over the end) the installer said there was no need for it,. Do you check all coax connections, especially outside? And right you are guessing, the grey thing is called a shroud, the mylar cover is the little window sticking out of it aimed at the dish. Touching the end and sometimes it clears could be a sign that your grounding is not right and causing a static build-up. Could be a number of things but we can't see it from our locations and mine is working fine in the middle of this snow storm. As tommie mentioned, need more info for diagnosis.

But you are not alone here is a speed test from last night (peak time) February 13th, 07:53PM - 80/19 kbps The test is from Hughes site. This is my new HN7000S with Pro plan.

ghostmaster Posted February 14, 2007 CID Share Posted February 14, 2007 dw6000 2 years wat could mess it up? A whole lot can mess up. First, The mylar is the plastic windows as said before my granpa. It IS necessary as it keeps corrosion away that could interfere with transmission. If it is the gray cover that your are talking about, it is not necessary. All it does is provides a home to wasps. What is your transmission error rate? Just post the data from http://192.168.0.1/fs/advanced/advanced.html. If touching the coax connector makes the problem disappear for a while, then you definately have a grounding problem. Static buildup with definately screw with your speeds and connection in general.
