Re: [DW6000] Turning proxy off seems to improve many things... said by mistereyet:I dont know about consumer, but when I upgraded to professional, the proxy no longer had any effect on my speeds. Now im always at 1Mbps down. Small wonder...
No Direcway proxy scheme has ever been intended to affect download speed. It has always been a 'browsing enhancement'

Capron, VA | We report, you decide. See below.
This works the same with "plain" IE6 without the Maxthon front end. It is also repeatable with normal variation any number of times. I don't know just how long it has been this way for me, but it has been a LONG time.
Firefox has always been slower than IE on the testmynet site since I have been using it, and they had a blurb there recently that there was a problem with it.
FWIW.
Bill.

Regardless of whether it was intended to, It always did. Maybe the quicker connection caused it to get better speed test results on testmy? I dont know. I just go with what works lol.

Capron, VA | Not exactly sure what you are asking. I have the DW600 CE $60/month and my Rate code is 10.
If neither of those is what you want, let me know...

Does this look familiar? For me on my DW6000 Consumer setup, the IE6 TestMy.net download speeds have been slower with the Proxy OFF for quite some time. As you mentioned, Firefox is just plain slower than IE6 (Proxy ON) regardless of whether you do the test with the Firefox Proxy ON or OFF.
