The deal with DircWay is it's for people that can't get anything else. Upload sucks ass let's get that right out in the open. Why does it suck? Because it's 56k They can't upload via the Sat so it has to be done via Phone line.
Download is not so bad, something most people don't know is you can set your computer up so DircWay downloads very fast. The standard Windows settings for 2 opr 3 connections at once. Which means when you go to a webpage it only D/L's 2 or 3 things at a time.
With D/W you can set up for mutable connections I think it was a max of 15 and each connection gets full bandwidth. So even though I think the D/L is set a 800 down with D/W you can set that to 15 connections and the web pages will download very very fast. The big draw back is they limit you to a certain amount of bandwidth per day.
I was certified to install those dishes which is why I know this I've never had one myself but have installed a few. So the short and skiny is, if you can't get anything else they are better than a phone line on the D/L but not on the up..
