JoeOtto Posted February 24, 2005 CID Share Posted February 24, 2005 Has anyone had any luck convincing support to change your transponder frequency? Once while I was still on my DW4000, I had trouble and they changed me from SatMex5 at 1160 or something to 1250? maybe? Speeds went wild. I was getting the speeds posted by most DW4000 users on here and uploads in the 200's Then came the dreaded DW6000. This one is on 1090. I tried to trick it by forcing a recommision, but didn't work. Level 1 support played dumb. (Imagine that??) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlester Posted February 24, 2005 CID Share Posted February 24, 2005 Yep- Just did, for the 2nd time. I am now on H1, 1410 Mhz Same if not slower. After 3 hours on the phone I had to sign up again, now my email is gone all my users need to be set up again and I get an error message after mtt email is checked. No way am I callin them back. I got 1 email addy to work. I will see how the speeds go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewelz_tx Posted February 25, 2005 Author CID Share Posted February 25, 2005 Joe Otto.... they changed my transponder the other day... Satmex5 1260 to 1130 and for about 8 hours my speeds were great. I was pleased..... then the next day, back to where I was to begin with. On the phone again.... Well today I called direchell support again..... to change back to my DW4000 that I was assured I could do yesterday.... oh noooooooooo they want $300 to cancel the 15 month contract that I committed to. Lets just say that poor lil girl got an ear ful!!!! omg I was soooo mad. I quoated every single web page I could find on Direcway saying they GARENTEED the same speeds with DW6000 that you had with DW4000. She wouldn't budge. But I was not about to hang up just yet.... so I went on and on about false advertising and by the time I was done... I was litterally yelling. Oh I was sooooooo mad!! Then she said well I am gonna have our advanced tech from billing (whatever the heck that is) call you tomorrow at 6:30pm central time so that he can get your speeds back up for you. Well ummm I went off again. I asked her.... so when that doesn't work, you will let me go back to my DW4000? She never gave me a direct answer and I asked several times..... she just kept saying that she had all the confidence in the world with David and he would get it fixed..... we will see! I am very seriously considering just going back to my $10 a month dialup and sayin to hell with direcway.... at least with dialup I can surf the net! Oh and the other day when they changed my transponder..... we lost all of our email accounts... Had to set them all up again.... what a pain the rump this DW6000 has turned out to be.,... and just think.... I paid them $250 to screw me! and it didn't even feel good!

sst45jeff Posted February 25, 2005 CID Share Posted February 25, 2005 every body keeps saying there is a thirty day garuntee or trial period. what does it cover if it doesnt allow you to cancel or chage back to your old modems without paying direcway a fee again.Its not like you are cancelling your service you are only changing modems. I know there is a fee if you cancel your agreement before the time is up but you are not canceling you are just changing modems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sst45jeff Posted February 25, 2005 CID Share Posted February 25, 2005 OK everybody that is having speed problems try this utility. It helped me and is one of the only tweaks that seems to have helped that i have tested. No grantees that it will help you. Try running this utility ...set it to "extreme" & check optimal settings box at bottom and see if it makes any kind of difference at all.

JoeOtto Posted February 25, 2005 CID Share Posted February 25, 2005 I make a concerted effort NOT to call Dway Support. I don't have time to be on the phone for two hours. I have an outstanding DHCP issue with my DW6000 that I simply gave up on and bought a router to do DHCP. Right now, except for in the evenings, I have no issues really with download speeds. And, compared to what you guys are seeing, I am not going to bitch too much about my upload: :::..

They have level 1- level 2- level 3 tech support, level 1 is the one you talked to and level 2 is the one that WILL NOT BE CALLING YOU BACK. My point exactly. I talked to Level I for 2 hours.....then level 2 every night this week for at least an hour.. all on the same case number. They finally said tht an engineer (I would assume is level III) would call me withing 72 hours. Has not happened yet! Last night was on the phone again for 2 hours, first with billing who refuse to let me go back to my DW4000 and then to level II tech support again and back to billing who told me that David from Advance Tech supoort for billing would call me tonight at 6:30pm central time and would have my speeds back up. am I doubtful? you betcha I am!!!!

JoeOtto Posted February 25, 2005 CID Share Posted February 25, 2005 I have completely given up on Dway support unless it is broken and I can't get on. Even then I do a reset and wait a while before I try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewelz_tx Posted February 25, 2005 Author CID Share Posted February 25, 2005 Jewelz, What tweaks have you tried on yours? Have you checked your cross-pol numbers? I have done everything listed on this forum as for tweaks... Nothing touches it. The only hope I had was the night they changed my transdponder to SatMex5 1130. 900 avg download and 240 avg upload. But well that didn't last long! And no, I don't think I have tried cross-pol numbers cuz I have no idea what that is. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wguntersr Posted February 25, 2005 CID Share Posted February 25, 2005 Sounds like everybody has the same problem. My problem is that when i start a download from FilePlanet. it starts out at over a 100k download then it drops like a rock after a minute or so to 3-5k. then it stays like that unless i pause it and wait for awhile before resuming. This problem has just started recently. I have tried the TCPOptimizer. to no avail. So does anybody else have this problem ? I would appreciate any help.

Jewelz_tx Posted February 25, 2005 Author CID Share Posted February 25, 2005 Even on DW4000 I had that problem. I think that is typical though...... ain't it? I mean for all broadbands... not just satellite... right? Started off high 100 or so then drop to about 20 something. I never went much lower then that unless I was downloading from someone on a slow connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wguntersr Posted February 25, 2005 CID Share Posted February 25, 2005 The thing is it does it it with web pages and anything i download. i just checked my speed about 5 min ago and i clocked about 733 Kb down and now it is about 10. The problem is in the inconsistency of the speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
