I just cancelled my Internet service with DirecWay today. I had been with them almost two years. I went with the cable company, which is getting me about 900 Kbps, which was the fastest DW ever ran.  Most of the time, DW ran about 4 to 600 Kbps. The signal strength was 91 or better all the time. I went all the way up the latter to the corporate offices at Hughes, and landed in corporate systems analysist. They tried every trick in the book, including replacing the 6K modem. Never got any better.  No tricks or tweaks that were not supplied by Hughes.
I was running about 1100 Kbps or so with the DW4000 and should have stayed with it. The DW6000 is a piece of S%&t. Now at least, I'm dealing with a smaller company, with their main service office about 200 miles up the road. It is only $20.00 a month less than DW, but still have a static IP, and router use. It beats the $89.99 a month DW was charging. I'll let you know later if I still am satisified in a month or so.
