| 354875 | 2005-05-14 00:56:00 | Okay... I just got moved and unpacked my Windows 2000 computer. For the time being, I have dial - up. I'm In a new house, and everything is new. My computer has a Conexant HCF V90 56K Data Fax PCI Modem. When I connected to the internet I got 24.6K! The most I've ever gotten with this connection is 28.8k. How can I get my connection speed to 56K? :help: | Ultimate (8106) | ||
| 354876 | 2005-05-14 01:03:00 | check your phone lines. check the lead to the jack isn't damaged. it simply could be the aera you have moved into. ask your neighbours how good their net conection is. |

| 354877 | 2005-05-14 01:05:00 | It's probably the phone lines that are the problem. Try unplugging every other phone device in the house. If you're using an extension lead gt rid of it. At any rate, the "connection" speed has no actual real bearing on the speed at which you transfer data. |

| 354878 | 2005-05-14 03:38:00 | Okay. I tried multiple times unplugging different phone devices. I called my ISP and they gave me different numbers to use, but none of them worked. What should I do? Is there any way I can "tweak" my modem to get a better connection speed? | Ultimate (8106) | ||
| 354879 | 2005-05-14 04:18:00 | you can string your modem to slow it down to the level of the phone lines. this at least will make it more stable. your ISP proberly suggested that allready. otherwise ring telecom ;) | tweak'e (69) | ||
| 354880 | 2005-05-14 04:24:00 | I'd be inclined to check that it isn't already set to connect at a maximum rate of 28.8 kbps. ;) | Graham L (2) | ||
| 354881 | 2005-05-14 05:41:00 | Your phone line may be "pair gained", where they can digitally split one line to feed two customers . This is done when there are insufficient cables in the area to service the number of connections . This will limit the maximum connect speed to 28 . 8 kbps . Ask Telecom if this is the case . |

| 354882 | 2005-05-14 15:17:00 | Well, I'm not sure if it's the phone lines because before, I lived in another area and I got the same connection speed... As for stringing my modem? How do I do that? | Ultimate (8106) | ||
| 354883 | 2005-05-14 23:02:00 | Well, I'm not sure if it's the phone lines because before, I lived in another area and I got the same connection speed... As for stringing my modem? How do I do that? OK, its probably unlikely to affect you in two locations, but that was not clear in your first post, you only referred to "this connection". PCI modems can be troublesome, but you should first try the latest drivers for your exact modem and operating system. |

| 354884 | 2005-05-14 23:34:00 | It may already have a string in the modem to slow your connect speed. Go to control panels/ phone and modem Click on Modem at the top and then Properties at the bottom Click on Advanced tab at the top and check if anything is in the Extra Initialization Commands box If so delete anything there and try that. |
