Must be about a 10kb test...shows that I can upload at 200-300kbps...that's a joke.. I was talking to level 2 support a few days ago.....when the TECH didn't know the diffrents between bits and bytes...I knew it was a lost cause... :haha: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Test on this site would show the real speed...connection less than 20Kbps however the direcway site shows well above 100Kbps, so they proceed to tell you "very good speeds" "there is no problem" "all customers are running at the same speeds even commercial accounts". They seem to leave the fine print out in the advertisements about where the get the numbers from...my uploads on direcway site have been as high as 356Kbps! Explain to tech support that it takes 15mins to send out a 1MB digital pic the numbers do not come close to 356Kbps up?? They will tell you absolutely anything but the truth....the [glow=red,2,300]bandwidth is not there [/glow] at peak hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlh24 Posted February 23, 2005 CID Share Posted February 23, 2005 CA3LE, as the site owner I do not think that comment was necessary. Most of use know who you are talking about. Could it possible be that you are concerned that his site may destroy the direcway site here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know where New Dehli is, i just thought it was an outsourced calling center seeing as they transfer you to level 2 over here! Man If I knew what I know now, direcway would not have been an option, not for the prices we pay, I got better upload speeds on my modem, and the speeds they told me is inacurate, they told me 50 kb up and 500kb down avaerage, still waiting to see this. In my opinion thats false advertising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion thats false advertising. I do agree with you 100%, BUT there speed advertisements are based on speed test done from myDirecWay.....do a speed test on the Dway site and you will see the advertised speeds. Its unreal they even decide how fast there own system is by there own measurements? I wonder if that would work for a speeding ticket (oh officer my speed is not measured on your radar gun correctly...I calculate my total driving time divided by distance you see.) As long as the government lets them do it the way they have been I see no changes anytime soon for the better. I believe it's a decent designed system, it s just [glow=red,2,300]overloaded[/glow]....and there still adding new customers everyday.
