I dunno "justinlay".  The fastest I have ever seen with mine is 1088 ....yet most often it hangs around the mid-900's.  During the day I'll fall down to a whopping 150 or less, but in the 'wee hours' (like 3:00AM) it's the fastest.  So, it is obviously a case of DirecWay selling more accounts than they can handle ....so everyone using DW6000 'channels' are getting the short end of the stick (mostly).  There are a few out there that do not seem to be affected.  I'm on G4R @ 1201MHz ...I hate it!

Supposedly I'm supposed to be getting (up to) 1.5, yet the latest advertising states 1.0Mbps.  I don't think DirecWay knows what they are supposed to be doing because each tech you call tells you a different story.  It's maddening to say the very least.

Here's my results "fresh off the testmy.net press!"  

::::::::::.. Download Stats ..::::::::::
Connection is:: 753 Kbps about 0.8 Mbps (tested with 386 KB)
Download Speed is:: 92 kB/s
Tested From:: http://www.testmy.net/
Bottom Line:: 13 times faster than 56K you can download 1MB in 11.13 second(s)
Validation Link:: http://testmy.net/cgi-bin/auth_check.cgi?num=252525

And this is supposedly their fastest account?  lol....  It bites!

Cheers!

Say Justinlay ....you don't get better results with an MTU of 1500?  (If I set mine to your figure I'll fall through the floor).  I know that ALL of DirecWay (or so I was told) uses an MTU of 1500 ...so what's the real scoop?

Thanks!
