| 123502 | 2003-02-24 08:12:00 | Hi y'all We have just moved house and the connection for the dial up has changed from 56600 down to 28800 (and yes, thinks are taking forever to load!) Absolutely no changes have been made to the computer settings except one (as below) In our new premises we are actually on a business line. So I had to add an additional "1" (actually I used "1," to add a pause) to the dial up number to get an outside line. My question is, does anyone know what I should look at to increase the connection speed or is it simply coz we now go through a "switchboard". Any ideas greatly appreciated (BTW, this problem is occurring across a number of diferrent OSes I have on my computer. Thanks |

My idea is that maybe the switchboard or the wiring is damaged/old, and is stopping the modem from being to connect at full speed. Plug a phone into the phone socket where your modem is currently plugged in, dial 1, and then dial another number. See if you hear any hiss/popping/humm or whatever. If there is excessive line noise, that could be your problem. Ask around your premises, and see if anybody else has the same problem. You might also want to test it from another phone jack, and see if it helps. |

| 123504 | 2003-02-24 08:22:00 | Could be many reasons, but the most likely is "pair gaining" or "0+2" system used by Telecom to digitally split one pair into two circuits, with reduced bandwidth of about what you are seeing. Or, if it goes though a PABX there could be bandwith limitations. As an example an Ericsson BCS150 PABX would limit to about 2000 bps due to the analogue to digital to analogue conversions. |

| 123506 | 2003-02-24 08:55:00 | I also have had line probs, telecom did line checks but nothing turned up. In the end they replaced all 7 of my phone jacks & then i was upto full speed again. The tech said that it only takes one crook jack to cause problems. He replaced all of them cause it was ganna take too long to figure out which one was actually crook. Also try unplugging all other phone equipment in the house & see if that helps, if so plug them back in one at a time testing after each is installed. At the mo, my sky phone jack is causing me problems, so it is unpluged... Cheers |

| 123507 | 2003-02-24 19:18:00 | I agree with the PABX posts. | roofus (483) | ||
| 123508 | 2003-02-24 19:26:00 | Yes to PABX again. I have seen many business's who complain about slow connection speeds and they all went through the PABX. After getting seperate line for the internet connections went back to normal. | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 123509 | 2003-02-24 20:39:00 | Mmm.... Although some PABX systems are quite good. Talk with the Network Admin for the business, and see ithey've tried it out orhave any info. We used to be behind a PABX on a28K modem and it would only ever connect at 14.4K, moved out and it immediately went up to 28K! Put in a PCI 56K modem and it went up to 53.6K, only now the PC's been moved and is on a long extention cord, so we're getting about 42K. Is it possible to get cable from behind a PABX/switchboard system? |
