| 781376 | 2009-06-11 05:43:00 | I am using kiwionline dial up internet but my connection speed is only 53.2 kbps is this normal. How can i make my internet connection faster? | xpuserchch (14996) | ||
| 781377 | 2009-06-11 05:46:00 | Welcome to PressF1. That is a very good connection speed for dial up, you wont be getting any quicker than that. If you need faster internet you will have to move to broadband or 3G wireless. |

| 781378 | 2009-06-11 05:59:00 | WOW I can only get 33.6kbps. Jealous. | sammo450 (13626) | ||
| 781379 | 2009-06-11 06:44:00 | I normally get 48 to 52 kbs with KOL. I think they sometimes they use Orcon's servers if KOL gets overloaded... | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 781380 | 2009-06-11 08:32:00 | I doubt you're really getting that speed. Is this from hovering the pointer over the two-monitor icon in the systray? That tells you what the connection speed is you've set between the modem and the motherboard, not what's actually happening. I go to www.radiomods.co.nz and try their dial-up speed test.Of course it will always be influenced by the traffic. | mark c (247) | ||
| 781381 | 2009-06-12 03:09:00 | your dial-up speed will be slow because your on dial-up | Nictech (14748) | ||
| 781382 | 2009-06-12 08:14:00 | Yep its normal... Well, I generally get 48kbps most of time, but when i disconnect and reconnect it gives me 52kbps (if im lucky 53.3kbps). Its works when its 33.3kbps as well:) And Nictech... Some people cant afford broadband... especially in the middle of a recession |

| 781383 | 2009-06-12 09:44:00 | You can turn off images, it's what I do for Press F1 sometimes, which increases page load speed a lot. Here are some tips for increasing (www.blogcatalog.com) page loads for dial up, though in certain instances, and may require other utilities... | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 781384 | 2009-06-12 10:29:00 | I guess this is what you call REALLY slow: on Ubuntu 8.04, I have to use the free driver provided by Linuxant (well done linuxant), but the speed it capped at 14400 bps. As a result? My download speed hovers around 1.x KB/s, and down to zero sometimes! | LynX (14542) | ||
| 781385 | 2009-06-15 10:25:00 | We used it a few months later we found it pathetic, we kept having crashes etc , Try another ISP | TechProX (14940) | ||
