SidV Posted February 3, 2005 Author CID Share Posted February 3, 2005 Well I called Direcway and went round and round, only yo be sent to their website to test my connection. Funny thing is there it shows a great upload speed of 32 kb/s. The tec then went on to say that their site was right and any other site just had to be wroung.....

Special_Ed Posted February 4, 2005 CID Share Posted February 4, 2005 HMMMM... Uploads are crap crap crap...I got about 17kb of upstream and then i tweaked to get 34kb upstream. Uploads are like 4kb. As I mentioned I tweaked and I have posted the instructions for the tweak here... https://testmy.net/topic-1773 They seemed to help me a bit....

ScCoghill Posted February 4, 2005 CID Share Posted February 4, 2005 I assume you guys have all called to complain, what is their response? Aren't we guaranteed a certain speed? I too have been unable to get a upload score the last day or so. I can tell you that the foreign girl I talked to last night ( she reset the 6000 from her side she said) told me the speeds are the same on both their site and this one. She said they recommend you use this site testmy.net to avoid having to put in all the gateway crap and numbers needed for their test. I do agree with Fikester, A blazing system at 3:00 am isn't gonna cut it for me. vr, scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fikester Posted February 4, 2005 CID Share Posted February 4, 2005 Some of the techs listen or send people here then others on the tech support try to tell me this site is not correct (which I know is BS). The Dway site the numbers are all over the place.....my opinion is most of them are reading from a book as you demand answers. Then after they try a few things then they start to [glow=red,2,300] lie[/glow]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special_Ed Posted February 5, 2005 CID Share Posted February 5, 2005 More about that tweak and the way it works. Ok; to surf the web your computer sends and receive packets of information to the various servers that make up the internet. These packets eventually translated into pictures and websites that we enjoy. Now the windows default sets these packets to a small size, if we make them bigger (thats the tweak) then the upload is more efficient and therefore faster. Anyways if 18000 doesn't get you going, you may want to try 17a00 or b000. Special_ED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScCoghill Posted February 5, 2005 CID Share Posted February 5, 2005 Special_Ed, how do i do the tweak on the packets you are referring too? By the way what is the Special_ED about? Teacher??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special_Ed Posted February 5, 2005 CID Share Posted February 5, 2005 ScCoghill, The tweak that I an referencing to is posted at https://testmy.net/topic-1773. (half way down the page) Just follow the instructions on the page. Next, a few tips I have are to BACK-UP YOU REGISTRY and to set a system restore point before tweaking anything. (Just in case that it back fires.) Also after trying 17a00 and 18000, try b000. This tweak has increased my upstream from 17KB to 34-55KB. Now, about my screen name (Special_ED). Well a long time ago I had a friend who was in special ed, he was quiet Bright really but had ADD. Anyways, one morning he said "I'm not specail, just special ED." At the time I thought is was rather funny and it stuck with me. Now that you bring up the subject it is rather insulting so I am thinking of creating a new one. What do you think?
