pman Posted June 29, 2005 CID Share Posted June 29, 2005 You can get what your upload speed is by logining on to Mydirecway and there is a box in the lower part of the home screen which is called SPEED TEST. Select this and run a speed test on your link and it will give you the download and upload speed. This will vary depending on network traffic. If I have this correct you are going to try and use Vonage which is a voice over IP service on your direcway system? It may work but I guess the satelite turnaround time will make it unusable. The speed of light going up to a satelite 22,000 miles above the earth and back can't be changed meaning you will get a 1 to 2 second pause between you and the person you are talking to.
