2smart4u Posted November 27, 2004 CID Share Posted November 27, 2004 I was impresed when i saw the results, cause i was hearing alot that satellite sucked, adn that it was slow, but when i saw that, man i caouldn't believe it. i did it again, cause i thought it it was just the internet cache, i deleted it, and did it again. i even hooked up my friends computer, and i got the same thing. this is kool. :::..

whiteolorin Posted November 27, 2004 CID Share Posted November 27, 2004 I'm glad you posted that. Direcway had tricked me into thinking I had great download speeds and that everything was correct. Now that I can compare my speed to another sattelite users speed, I can see that I'm running extremly slow. My speeds aren't even half of what you got.

Guest wmmc Posted November 27, 2004 CID Share Posted November 27, 2004 As I posted in your other thread, that is bogus, satellite is incapable of those speeds, its cached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angellogan Posted November 27, 2004 CID Share Posted November 27, 2004 Yea, they don't come like that out of the box. I think it's cached, Dway doesn't have any packages that offer close to that speed. Maybe Spaceway might have at one point in the future but that's another story.

jsun Posted November 27, 2004 CID Share Posted November 27, 2004 As I posted in your other thread' date=' that is bogus, satellite is incapable of those speeds, its cached.[/quote'] I disagree , I used the newest Direcway set up and hit well over 500K they lame thing is the FAP (Fair Acess Policy) You can only DL 150mb per hour or something like that.

Guest wmmc Posted November 27, 2004 CID Share Posted November 27, 2004 To jsun, anything above 3 Mbps down is bogus and/or cached, if you saw with satellite 500 KB/Sec then what is called a burst. When I do a backup of my domain I usually see anywhere from 500 KB/Sec to 1 MB/Sec, burst speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If DSL, Cable or other broadband is available use it! The latency on sattelite is a drawback & so is the upload speed. Oh & another thing, the fair access policy stinks like "jsun" said...

The Reverend Posted November 28, 2004 CID Share Posted November 28, 2004 I just purchased (because it was my only choice), DirecWay's very best Commercial Class System and Service. $1000.00 bought the modem, .98m dish and 'pro' installation (he actually knew what he was doing). The account is $129.99 monthly for 'up to' 1.5Mbps 'down' and an "enhanced" 256kbps 'up'. Signal Strength stays locked at 97 but rainfade will take us down to as low as 93 (torrential downpours). As far as the first post goes it just isn't possible to go that fast due to latency issues, and about 1,000 other issues inherent when using Satellite connections. As I have indicated, I'm using DirecWay's "latest and greatest" Commercial System and running as fast as their systems will go ...and even with network congestion we never fall below 941kbps. There are NO satellite retailers or companies that are advertising anything higher that "up to" 2.0Mbps ...and even then they admit it has to be primo conditions in order to get it up THAT fast. Soooooooo....I would either get my eyes checked if you think you are getting speeds like that, or make sure you are not still plugged into the cable modem box! Sorry ...don't mean to step on anyone's toes in here, but I do believe in the promotion of Truth when at all possible. This post is 100% truth ...so help me. Cheers!

The Reverend Posted November 29, 2004 CID Share Posted November 29, 2004 As you will see in my earlier post, I stated I have DirecWay's very best "setup" and Business Class account. It's raining, but not hard, presently my Signal Strength is hanging around 95. At BEST I am supposed to be able to "pull" 1.5Mbps 'down' and 256 up' ...well, here my test results "cut and pasted as of 5:52AM with little to no network congestion. I'd say his posted speed scores MUST be cached ...DWay just doesn't run that fast ....and I've been using the new system 24/7. It only gets SLIGHTLY faster than this, and I'm running a state-of-the-art PC with no known 'bottlenecks'. :::..

DWay advertises "enhanced Uploads of "up to" 256kbps ...and I've seen it exceed 400 at times, but normally any DWay Commercial 'rig' is going to spit out a max of 128 ...usually closer to 100kbps (as advertised).

btb601 Posted December 4, 2004 CID Share Posted December 4, 2004 I had to rebuild my computer after the motherboard took a dump. Was running raid and lost everything on the harddrives. I went from W2k to XP with SP2. It ran great for a week or two then downloads went to snail mode. After disabling all in startup folder and running web setup again on DW, turing off the popup blocker and the firewall.Then I downloaded TCPOptimizer and maxed out the settings and I greatly improve my speeds. Then I added everything I had disabled one by one and my speed stayed the same. Now I can surf the net again without pullin out my hair. I have had the SAT since the oneway came out , then upgraded to the 2 wasy. DW has it problems, but when it's the only option you have besiudes landline, you live with it. :::..
