php Posted April 30, 2005 CID Share Posted April 30, 2005 i think 30KB/s is your actual download speed... 200KB/s is just a good burst... my record burst speed was about 15MB/s for 2 seconds. (yes, i downloaded 30MB in 2 seconds) then it dropped to a semi-typical 80KB/s or so... DW6000 btw... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlh24 Posted April 30, 2005 CID Share Posted April 30, 2005 To eliminate the router issue have you tried hooking up your DW6000 directly and running a test? What browser are you using? Try following the instructions in this thread. https://testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=1703.0 If that does not help IM me at rlh242424 on yahoo, or NscrRcky on AIM.

openlens Posted May 4, 2005 CID Share Posted May 4, 2005 I have a dw6000 with a home account every time I download something my tranfer rate stars at 200+kbs then drops dow to 30kbs or so Is this fixable? max transfer/download is about 168 meg per 4 hour peroid. if you exceed download in 4 hour peroid, you are flagged and your speed continues to drop if you try to download "big" file,game,etc. you recover "top" speed after about 8-10 hours of slow download/surfing speeds. you are being punished for being a usage hog. the "good" news is; off peak hours the download mb is extended to 250 mb.

php Posted May 5, 2005 CID Share Posted May 5, 2005 welcome to the forum openlens true, but off-peak is only 2-5am... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlh24 Posted May 5, 2005 CID Share Posted May 5, 2005 I am also experiencing strange download speed. I believe it is on direcways end. Give it a few days. They are doing server stuff. They are changing the new birds to be able to accept the new modem to come on line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
openlens Posted May 5, 2005 CID Share Posted May 5, 2005 I am also experiencing strange download speed. I believe it is on Di recWays end. Give it a few days. They are doing server stuff. They are changing the new birds to be able to accept the new modem to come on line. hi. this is openlens and your problem is you have attempted to download what you paid for, large downloads, fast surfing ,etc. go to your my mydirecway.com sign in and look at usage. scroll down the page until you start seeing "yes" on the far right hand side of the list. there is flags limiting your download speeds and it gets worse. the more you try to download the longer the time to download. dway calls this the fair usage rule and you have been "sic" identified as a bandwave hog and are being punished for doing what you paid for. download big files in half the time, surf fast, etc. the punishment ends in 8-10 hours according to tech support. this rule of sharing has nothing to do with server maintenance. it has to do with limited bandwith shared by lots of people. to have unlimited download time etc, you need a business account. so be good, pay your 60.00 a month and enjoy slow downloads. peace. openlen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fikester Posted May 5, 2005 CID Share Posted May 5, 2005 Easy now there are rights activist who do not want to hear of bad or negative comments about Dway.....they would rather you post false comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwells248 Posted May 6, 2005 CID Share Posted May 6, 2005 Crispy Niggets, Not sure if this will help but your receive and transmit polarization is horizontal and horizontal. Usually this is vertical and horizontal, although this is not always the case. You may want to verify your cross pol is supposed to be set this way. If your cross pol is off it can have an impact on latency. Also, I think you are on satmex5 which is dways most loaded bird. It wouldn't hurt to ask to be moved to another bird, although your chances of being moved may not be that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlh24 Posted May 6, 2005 CID Share Posted May 6, 2005 Openlens, I am very well aware of the FAP policy. I am not FAP'ed, Sometimes it is on Direcways end. My problem was not downloading large files. I had not downloaded any large files. Just surfing. I have not heard of anyone who has got FAP'ed just surfing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
