350265	2005-04-29 12:45:00	Although I have a Conexant HCF V.92 56K Speakerphone PCI Modem installed, my normal internet connection speed is only 33.6kbs instead of 56kbs. Is there some way I can convince the modem to connect at its correct speed ? under Control Panel/Modem Properties I normally set the maximum speed well above the theoretical 56. I am running Win98se on an 2.00 gigahertz AMD Athlon XP system. I would appreciate some expert advice. Thanks roygretn	roygretn (989)

Check for programs running in the background that you don't need that are using resources. Check Start/Run and type in msconfig and look at the Startup. Check through the programs listed to start at startup and uncheck what you don't need. Try also putting something like "slow internet connection" into Google and you'll come up with lots of sites with tips about how to speed things up. Done it myself.	mark c (247)

Are you in a rural area? Check to see if you modem speed speed has already been reduced for some reason Double click My Computer and double click Dialup networking Right click your ISP icon and click Properties Select Configure for your modem Select Connections and then Advanced If there is anything in the Extra Settings box remove then. Click OK all the way out and restart computer and try that.	Safari (3993)
