HiTecRedneck is on a distinguished road
You don't always get what you want !!!

I have the DirecWay 1 way dialup and I find that the Fap makes the system totaly a farse.
High speed internet has to do with downloading large amounts of data in a short period of time DW could not do this after about 150mb the system slows down to a intermittant 12kb .
I would prefer they assign you a monthly bandwith limit at which the system shuts down when it is excedded.
A few weeks ago I attempted to d/l a 700mb iso file and after 5 days I had 5 corruupted files totaling more than 2000mb and all were totaly unusable.
I finaly downloaded the file on my 28k dialup (took over a day) but I have a usable file.
I am just beyond the range for ADSL (over 5 miles of wire) And I'm begging the phone company to hook me up, even if it is only at dialup speeds it wouldn't be tying up my phone line.
There is a site devoted to DirecWay http://www.copperhead.cc , be sure to read the forums and see how the hughes customers feel.
