20836 2001-10-10 04:59:00 My internet everything is slow I would like to know how to change the settings to get a bit more speed up. There is a way but I have forgotten how to do it. For instance it takes 25-30 minutes to download a 1.60mb file.
I would appreciate some help on this
Thanks

20843 2001-10-12 09:11:00 I have a 56k modem V.90
at the moment it is at 44,000bps but it does vary in speed.

I am lost as the phone lines are fine I had them come out and check but even waiting for a web page to load I can be waiting for up to 5 minutes before it is done.
It's got me beat????

20845 2001-10-12 09:21:00 At the moment I am connected at 44,000bps and I have a 56k V.90 modem.

I live in a small town but I have just had telecom out to check everything as I was getting so frustrated. They said the lines are fine etc.

An example is That just now it took 3 minutes to load this response page fully - now that is slow!!!!!
