Upgraded to the 7000 and up to the professional plan.  Am seeing some speed differences for the better.  Just curious as to whether or not anyone is using any tweaks to get this thing flying or not?  If so, what are they?  Also, are there any specific Cablenut CSS files for the DW7000 yet?

Thanks.

Welcome to the forums cpatullo!  Very Happy

There aren't any cablenut files just for the 7000, but you can just use the 6000 settings... Your speeds look average and pretty good for the time of day.

I uploaded my settings below.

But you can try...

Personally, I think the 6000 was more tweakable than the 7000.

BTW, what satellite and transponder are you on cpatullo?

What ever the latest version is... But like R˙che 1 said, you can't tweak a self-hosted system. So improving your speeds is doubtful.

seemed like cablenut helped with the 6000.  that is it made things more consistent.  no big increase in either download or upload.  I've even tried using tcp optimizer. But I don't believe you will get any big increase if your already over 1000Kbps.(unless your on a business plan) During peak hours no tweaks seem to help anything. I have had no luck tweaking the 7000, but i'm no expert. I've tried everybodys tweaks i could find.

 I was gonna upgrade to the small office plan until I realized my dish and transmitter will not work for that.

$1000 for new dish  :whaa:

anybody else thought about getting Wild Blue?  They offer a plan for 1.5down/250up alot better price.

hi bryanb602

i have been experimenting with many different tweak settings, and there seems to be no effect, with all registers set to nothing, is the same or better than any tweak settings I have tried.

as for upgrading your system to larger dish; did you purchase from a local 'dealer' or online?

i purchased from local dealer and was able to upgrade systems for only the difference in price, did not have to purchase entire system again, but my dishes are all mounted on poles not one trimast mount (for house).  This meant that only the dish had to be swapped out and the plan changed. 

I must emphasize that I have a great relationship with the dealer and have purchased many systems. 

perhaps you can negotiate?

It will be "up to" 1.5 down / 250 up here in a few months. They've all ready changed thier FAP to regulate the heavy downloaders.

Thanks for the reply mrcleanshaven

I puchased online.  I might could come across some used equipment a little cheaper  Just was looking at the price on dways website Shocked  I have kicked the idea around now for a little while, but never got serious about it.  Might be good to go to a local guy so I can have someone to turn to for warranty issues if anything bites the dust.  I would rather deal with a person face to face on stuff like that.

I can get about the same speed without tweaks as I do with also.  i have had times where I'm sure applying tweaks has had a negative effect. (with 7000 modem). Back when I was on the 6000 I never saw big increases, But did a little good after a few tries with different settings. They seem to have cut out all of the fun with these new modems.

read about that over on the dslreports forum.  alot of people seem unhappy about the fap change, but yet they are still getting decent customer reviews. I'm just waiting to see what comes about since their still a new company. I think dway is trying harder now since they might have competition I even heard something about dish network starting some kind of a satellite internet service. the more competition for dway the better things will get. It will be interesting to see what happens over the next year or so (if anything happens).

Re: Wildblue...I looked at them, but they want a two year contract...Plus, if you cancel, the termination fee is equal to the remaining months on the contract x the monthly fee for whatever plan you're on...I won't go near that, personally..DirecWay's termination is "only" $300...So, I bought a used DW4000, had it installed last week...Dudes, it flies...Couple of negatives though...Slower uploads (of course), and the home plan ($59.99) fap bucket is 169MB...Apparently, you have to get the $89.99 plan for the professional size bucket...You get a static ip too...I like the 7000 Pro plan for $69.99 better...So, there's trade-offs...
