So if I had wildblue, on two year contract at 79.95 per month and cancel after first month I would be billed for 79.95 * 23=  1838.85  I would be scared of that.

yep, I heard wildblue already quit installing in some areas until they get more capacity to handle new customers. correct me if im wrong, but im sure I read this somewhere.  Dway used to run fine for me all the time. now it still runs but slows down greatly between 5pm and 10pm every weeknight. 

When I had the 6000 only problems I had were slow uploads.....download connection speeds were 1000 pretty much 24/7 on the same bird. My problems started Dec 1, 2005 with the upgrade to the DW7000 and upgrade to  the pro account........have nothing good to say about the upgrade, Dway, or Hughes Network, absolutely nothing! I have had an account with them for over a year. The truth is now shinning bright as the sun, the lies, tricks, scams, word games are all point blank.

Can I just use your settings in mine, just fill in my blanks with what you have?
 I've been reading messages for hours and hours and my head is spinning. I was talked into an upgrade, not realizing I'd get slower speeds than my dw4000 got blah, blah, blah
I used tweakers on my 4000, but that computer has crashed, so here I am.
How about a dw7000 tweaker tutorial for dummies?

I'm on the 7000 regular consumer plan I think.

Oh, and is there a FAP monitor in all this new system info stuff we have now?  Or do you know where I can get one now?

Thanks a bunch

tommie gorman probably thinks that's accurate

These are M16's average for the last 3 days.  Either he is getting bad results from here for some reason, or he is getting huge speed bursts that are making me jealous and want to steal his system.

Mar 16 2006 1776 Kbps 
 
Mar 15 2006 1908 Kbps 
 
Mar 14 2006 1766 Kbps 

Post some results from the MyDirecWay test.

I have noticed that ever since Ca3le updated this site with the new look, the test results have been overly generous for me, and quite a few other people.  Sometimes even being an entire 1Mb off.  I know this because I can watch my bandwidth monitor during the test showing 1100Kbps or lower and get a result of 1200 to 1300 Kbps.

M16, when you download files, what speeds are you getting?
