Recommended Tests

Here are the results for a speed test today (2992) through a Linksys G wireless gateway/router behind a DW7000.

For me, this is absolutely GREAT!!

2 of my 3 pc's tested at this speed and the third is about 75 - 100 feet away from the Linksys and in a different building. I was also streaming audio at the same time!

The 3rd tested at 1175.....

Very happy with DW7000...it's just very expensive!

Very nice! 

I haven't been on DW for a long while, use it for backup if cable goes south. 7700 on consumer plan.

I been slammed at work. I did notice tonight that https sites now work great with DW. Wonder what NOS did to help that?

Cable has been pretty good for me. I do a lot of bank and CC transactions so I need a backup and DW fits the bill. One good thing about DW is that if everything in the street goes down, with a generator and satellite I'm still in contact with the outside world.

I haven't turned the DW modem on for about 3 months. I noticed it just updated the software and rebooted and the upload isn't all that bad. My signal is only 76 now, was 82..
re-test

Nice to see you guys still getting fairly good stats for satellite. I noticed NOC hasn't figured a way to throttle the download on 4000 units yet. 

Sure would be nice to maintain the speeds we had in the 7000 beta testing at 600 up and 2000 down all day long.. We know it can be done and in excess of cable speeds but sadly the transponders get touchy with that much exchange.   I see the Wild Blue folks have finally dropped into reality..
