Then something is wrong...

On the downlink, especially from FTP sites, it _usually_ performs well.
In fact, I sometimes get much more than the stated 400k speed.  About 2
weeks ago, I had 9 download pipes running and was pulling 1.5mb/sec
downstream!

I'm not defending Hughes at all.  DirecPC has a ton of technical
problems that can drive you nuts.  And, the company can be one of the
most arrogant organizations I've ever dealt with. 

The ARE history as soon as cable hits.
