Re: [DW7000] Help! Upload down to 20...
Just so ya know yer not alone... I have noted slower upload speeds over about the last week as well, went from ~200 to between 50 and 150 on average mid 60's. I did a lot of testing tho and found that the speeds varied from one minute to the next, also the speeds from MyDirecway tend to be about 1/2 those indicated by Testmy.net.
I had the high transmit error rate as well however that cleared after forced ranging into rate code 256 2/3 TC. Apparently the higher rate code of 256 4/5 TC was a problem at that point. I have since ranged to rate code 256 4/5 TC with no increase in the transmit error rate except when the weather is bad.
I think DW is doing a bit of tweakin in AMC 9, at least I hope they are, in any case my speeds are back up this morning at My Direcway I have ~950 Down and 180 up, I havent run testmy yet but if past experience is any indication i can expect the results to be from 1.5 to 2 X higher than the MyDirecway.

| Same satellite but different transponder. I too have noticed over the last several days that speed tests from MyDirecway seem to have slower test results than Testmy. I would normally expect that to be the other way around.
Yesterday, the installer that Engineering sent was here to check my system. Finding nothing else wrong he replaced all of the coax just on the possibility that there might be a problem somewhere. Signal strength of 81 and Xpol of 77 stayed the same. My downloads are consistently at 1000 but the uploads vary tremendously. With the installer watching my uploads would run 150, 170, 24, 199, 140, 19, 203, and 21. When he called his support number he talked to a less than friendly tech that just told him that the speeds were going to vary, what did we expect? Needless to say the installer was not very happy with that answer. He took a copy of my speed test to go talk to his boss about it and see if they could get some help.
While waiting to see if they can come up with some answers I have called support back and I am now waiting on the famous call back from engineering. Last time they called back on a Friday night at 10:30PM. We will see what happens this time.

| Same thing here... I opened a ticket with tech support and got escelated to tier 2. They told me to do speed tests for three days (using the Direcway site) so that engineering would have the data they need! Amazing. I was hoping for a move to a better sat or transponder (with less traffic) but it appears that the upload issue is unrelated to traffic. Hope they get it resolved soon.
