Dial Up Connect Speed?
Some of us still live in the boonies and only have dial up. :(
Anyway, XP always showed the connect speed for a short time in ballon help over the connection in the tray just after connecting. I must say this is probably the only useful ballon help I've seen. It's gone in Vista and it's now a tedious process to see your dial up connect speed, double click tray icon (not right click) see the Network center, find the dial-up connect and finally click status. The ballon help was very nice as if I did not connect at a decent speed I could usually disconnect and redial and on a second or third re-connect get a decent speed. Now it takes me as long to figue out my connect speed as it does to connect very frustrating Anyone aware of a way to turn on connect speed ballon help on a new connect? Quicker way to determine dial connect speed? Thanks, Mike Schellenberger |
