Slow modem

Malone · Oct 22, 2003

I moved and can only get dial up where I am. I have
Winxp installed and have a real slow connection. I
cannot get higher than 26.4 kbps. I have tried
everything, including buying a new modem. I have deleted
my hard drive and re-installed windows, NOTHING WORKS. I
have had the phone line checked, no problem. Can anybody
help.

Try different access numbers. If that doesn't work try a different ISP. Jym

Sounds like your phone-to-exchange line does not have the capability.
I had similar problem (Australia rural area) - could not get better
than 28kbps. But changed to phone system to ISDN and now get 48kbps
via modem or 128kbps via "ISDN NT1 Plus ii" unit.
