Hi, my dial up connects me at an average of 26-28 Kbps
and not a bit faster. I moved to what is considered a
"rural area" and the phone lines are ancient with no
plans from the telephone company to replace them soon.
The phone lines are Analog, and there is a loss of
attenuation as it comes down the line into the house.
I have a v.92 modem on both computers and run XP.
I have done the following to try to connect faster:
Had a new drop wire from the over head lines to the house.
Had a new phone box wired where the drop wire comes in.
Had all new phone jacks put in, inside the house.
Tried major ISP's, all gave me a slow connect.
Looked for an updated V.92 driver, none out yet.
Configured my Modem speed to maximum.
Am I stuck with this slow connect? Due to financial
constraints, I can't go to DSL, etc. as in my industry
I'm subject to lay-offs and just got back to work
after almost 6 months of unemployment.
(I try and keep the bills to a minimum)
Thanks in advance. "laptop"
