jay173 Posted June 22, 2005 CID Share Posted June 22, 2005 you should expect alot out of 128 connection speed i used to have 256 only 3 times faster than dail up what says you need to readjust your attenna what speed you paying for i would go with cable as replacment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to hear from anyone with similar problems - particularly if you are on AMC9. I'm not familiar with AMC9. I run on SatMex 5 and last night was pitiful. SpeeDs (at least for me) were horrendous. During prime-time Direcway tends to get overloaded. However, once traffic dies down, bandwidth becomes available. Seeing your SpeeD was less then 200 Kbps, Direcway should be making any and every attempt possible to help you. Unfortunately it doesn't always work like that. A signal of 60 should not affect your SpeeD. Sometimes a different transponder can really help out. Did Direcway try that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbodine Posted June 22, 2005 CID Share Posted June 22, 2005 Your story sounds very familiar. I upgraded to DW6000 on June 12 and my downloads speeds are significantly lower than the DW4000. Prior speed range was 600 to 1700 with the DW4000. Now during peak hours I run under 200, sometimes below 100. I have tried to return the DW6000 and reactivate the DW4000, but DWay isn't cooperating. I am now stuck with an inferior system and on the hook for 15 mos. What an "upgrade"! I have spent hours on the phone as well, with no help. Today, I received an e-mail stating an engineer would call, I won't wait by the phone. I am running through one of the Mex satellites, not sure which one. I can feel your pain. If I find any soulution, I'll post here. I think what's happening here is the DW6000 software is external to the computer and you can't tweak it. With the DW4000, the software resides on your computer and you can tweak it to increase performance. I think Dway is offering the DW6000 upgrade to get the DW4000's off line. I could be wrong, I'm no expert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, I'm no expert. Correct. The so called "upgrade" to a DW6000 is actually a down grade. You pay the same and Direcway has far more control of your SpeeD. What do they do with the additional bandwidth savings? Sell it. Kind of like a two for one. As soon as my contract was up with the DW6000, I reverted back to the DW4000. The DW6000 is capped at aroung 1 meg. So, if your runn'in SpeeDs around 980 to 1050 Kbps, that's outstanding for a DW6000. NeeDSpeeD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucson1960 Posted June 25, 2005 CID Share Posted June 25, 2005 I have had no major concerns with the Speed of DW6000 since I made sure of a few items that have to be kept up with. (Admittedly it is slower than the 4000 system) You must make sure your internet connection settings are as follows. In LAN settings make sure both boxes are checked in proxy server and neither box is checked in automatic connections then click on advanced button. In proxy address you need to have 192.168.0.1 Port 87. In the exceptions you need to type direcwaysupport.com;192.168.0.1. At this point I strongly suggest about three different brands of Spyware removal & detection. WEBROOT seems the most thorough the second after that is XOFTSPY. MSN now offers one too. No mater the brand one will not locate and destroy all spyware. The next thing to consider is a Windows registry program. Finally I would make sure you have a good Window Washer. All this helps keepyour computer clean and operating at optimum speeds. :::..

tucson1960 Posted July 8, 2005 CID Share Posted July 8, 2005 It looks like you have done everything but one... You might need to get a service tech out and change satellites. I don't know where you live but my location in Lytle Texas has a choice of 2 satellites. The new one ain't worth spit; I'm locked on the old one.

Buzz Posted July 9, 2005 CID Share Posted July 9, 2005 The DW6000 series modem gets is software program upgraded automatically from the NOC, as with any digital system a glitch or in your case maybe a bad or or interupted upgrade burst that was corrupted may have had you in a bad way (modem locked up) still waiting for the right instructions.......anyway a power down for a few minutes, then power up is like rebooting your system after a crash.......it goes and gets the instruction set again, if it is OK this time, then its speed back to normal. Buzz P.S. Did you download and install the LCCU program by Dway...it helps too!
