Does This Stuff Really Work?
Like ADSL, RemoteWorks Powered DiRECWAY is an asymmetrical service, meaning that proportionally more
bandwidth is allocated to downstream traffic than to upstream
traffic.
Your internet connection is
“always-on”, 24x7. Downstream speeds, which affect the viewing
of web pages or the downloading of files, are engineered for speeds
up to more than 384 Kbps. The upstream is a 128 Kbps burst
technology and generally operates between 32 - 64 kbps.
RemoteWorks also offers 750 Kbps and 1 Mbps services,
and can offer custom plans with higher download speeds if required.
As with any Internet connection,
actual speeds will vary based on usage and traffic patterns and will
at certain times be faster than other times. If you would like a
more technical understanding of our satellite Internet service click

equipment from Hughes at the customers premises. Hughes (owners and
developers of DiRECWAY) provides the space segment and underlying
service through its teleport and network facilities and through the Galaxy 11 and
Galaxy 4R satellites operated by PamAmSat, as well as the SATMEX5
satellite, operated by Satellite Mexicano.
RemoteWorks Powered DiRECWAY service is not the same service that DirecPC
sells to consumers.To ensure fair access to
bandwidth and maintain QoS, Hughes has devised an efficient system
of bandwidth allocation. This system assures the agreed upon
performance at all times for all users by adjusting the bandwidth
allocation. Click here to learn

allowances.
