Hi,
I have a 56K modem in my pc. For about a year now the connection to the net has been a joke (And before you say I can't get broadband where I live, or I would!!) At best it will connect at 12,000KBPS so like 12K the very best is 14,400KBPS. I know a 56K modem won't connect at 56Kbps but it should be able to do atleast 28,800 (28.8) or 31,200KPBS (as per the other pc in my household does)
Am I looking more at a problem with my phone line or the modem? What can I do to help speed things up? I have reinstalled the drivers, downloaded web accelerators, I have a BT engineer coming out to check the line etc, anything else anyone can recommend?
Cheers
Adam.
