i sure miss the old 4000 speeds, but at least tommie still smoking

[tommie gorman]

Is that the old 4000 speeds. I heard most were barely getting 1000. Then not too bad. 

[deven]

really depends on time of day like you know. i still check in time to time but takes to long too load. haha

[tommie gorman]

I just checked the speed, I got a 307 D/L. Won't get the top speed til after bed time around 2 or 3 AM. 

They say the new 7000HS or what ever will be faster. I also heard rumor of 8.0 available some day. Yes, on hughes.net.  Maybe in the next century. 

[deven]

have a friend, got 7000s, had to realine dish and has slower d/l, not a happy camper. bed time catch you later

[BigR_usa]

1.5mb - 1.8 md download !!

I'd be happy with 1/2 that download speed with our DW6000

usually around 300 - 600

any suggestions how to to kick it up a notch

Welcome to the forum BigR_usa   

Kinda like Sparticus said up there. Start with those. And first of all post a test with the 2992 file test so we can observe the goings on while helping. I am also on the 6000.  I prefer the TCP Optimizer for tweaking best.

[StephyJ]

Hi again, sorry I'm been MIA...I've had my head stuck in a Microbiology text book for the last few months  .  Anyway, here's my DWay 6000 D/L speeds (they've been slow for a while now).  And here's a question for all of you that are smarter than I am:  We received a letter from our local phone company (Frontier) stating that we can now get DSL (1 mb download/128 kbs upload) for $49.99 a month ($13 less than DWay).  Would you switch?

                    [move]HECK YES[/move]

Not sure why the speeds would be so low though. But the consistency would be great. AGAIN, yes. 

[fikester]

  We received a letter from our local phone company (Frontier) stating that we can now get DSL (1 mb download/128 kbs upload) for $49.99 a month ($13 less than DWay).  Would you switch? 

Would I switch?......I would be camped out at the Frontier office waiting for the next service man to arrive ! Regardless of the download speed/ burst speeds up or down on satellite, the pings are 700-3000ms always. Pings on the DSL should be less than 200ms, so even if you don't play online games or do online auctions....this means you don't have that delay when clicking on a website with DSL. This is a no brain'r

                                        [move][glow=red,2,300]DSL WINS HANDS DOWN[/glow][/move]

[StephyJ]

    Thanks for the advice, I'm calling Frontier and ordering DSL. . .so long DWay!!!

nice, you wont regret switching.

[fikester]

Now sell your hughes system on ebay. 

[Bird Fan]

Now sell your hughes system on ebay. 

I would take a sledgehammer to it then burn it.

[fikester]

If you ever do that...get it on video please! 

[tommie gorman]

Absolutely, never totally waste the equipment you paid too much for.  At least get a vid of it. Then blow it up.  We don't want to be able to recognize it at all.

But I would sell it first.

If I was rich and the equipment didn't mean anything to me... Just sit all day and shoot at it with a 45.

Rich, or

mad and ornery.  "BOOM//"
