It should be, but remove all cablenut and TCP optimizer tweaks first.....and just follow the directions in the readme file no tools needed to do the tweaks.....the first one is from Dway the LCCU file needs to be done first then just double click on the .reg file and it will edit you registry for you.....this file came from [this.site.has.been.blocked.for.spamming]

Good Luck

Let me know if you get any improvements!

P.S. Maybe XP Pro is the difference.....thats what I am running with service pack 2 and all upgrades

Ok, this is what I have noticed with the settings I am using, the worst connection has been 700-800.  THIS IS AT REALLY HEAVY USAGE TIMES, I MEAN EVERYBODY IS ONLINE FOR IT TO GET THIS BAD.

These are more like my average speed tests with the settings I am using now these test were done during different times of the day.....Standard Dway Account DW6000. OS: XP Pro Service pack 2 all upgrades.

Speed in the 900's doesn't sound bad for a 5 year old computer with XP... It is likely your computer is using 32 bits XP needs 64 bits and if it doesn't have it it robs from your hard drive. In addition with that age your memory chips are likely 133 instead of 266 and the first thing a computer does is slow down to avoid crashing.
For less than $500 you can build a damn fine computer with technology about 6 months behind todays items on the shelf..

  
I updated to 6000. I AM VERY UNHAPPY! I am uploading at 23.68 % and downloading at 36.42%.
Advanced tech support tells me not to use this site to check speed. Only DirecWay's speed tester. They always tell me I am with in the standard. I am really PO'ED because my 4000 system was much faster. I live in a remote area and have no other option than dway. They told me I could upgrade to a Pro system which would be more money but faster. When I got dway a couple of yrs ago they told me the upload would be 128 in a year. Now no one knows anything about it. Dway advertises speed 50 X faster than 56K I think dway has a technical problem and they don't know how to solve it. I hate talking to people who speak poor english most of the time..
I have talked to Microsoft's tech support in India and they are great!

Just want to let you know, I followed the advice from "Tucson960". I have a DirecWay 6000 and I have never been able to download, using TestMynet, over about 85. I followed his directions, and immediately I now get about 120 to 130 on the download test. I have tried everything for the past couple of weeks, and nothing else helped. I thought I knew a lot, but you have helped tremendously. Thank you very much.

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.

Is this in the right topic?

I see...
XP comes in 32 and 64 bit editions... the pagefile is there because most computers don't have enough memory capacity to hold everything open...

ok...........
