Modem speed is half
Hello, I am currently on dial up.. and every bit counts. I normally connect
at 45,000 BPS, and now its 28.8 BPS. It just suddenly changed.. (it did this before vista too) Heres the options I tested: a.) The phone line. phone company ran diagnostics and it ran fine. b.) A different phone line. Same thing happened. half speed. c.) different cord to connect. Same thing happened. d.) New modem of the same brand. Same thing e.) New modem of a diff. brand. Same thing f.) New Drivers? there from 2003, But they work with vista, and the most up to date ones are 2003.. If anyone could look into this.. my modem is a V.92 PCI. g.)Different computer- I tried using a different computer, and guess what? It ran at full speed... h.) Reformat. I reformatted my entire computer incase of viruses. I tried on XP, and then Vista.. still half speed. Back with xp it said something was blocking my connection... But I never figured it out. and as I said, Vista says theres no problems I.) ISP- the other computer has the same ISP  J.) The number I dial into is the same on both computers, yet mine runs at half speed. K.) Diff. Ports- I plugged the modem into every single PCI port.. same outcome These are some things I think it could be.. Motherboard glitch? Power supply? Any ideas? sorry about all the reading Something wrong with my motherboard?

Modem speed is half
Have you done an online speed test. That speed is just what the modem
connects at. It can fluctuate quite a bit once it is connected. Most common cause it the phone lines. Go to www.speakeasy.net/speedtest and test your speeds. They may be just fine, just reported to the OS as slower when connecting. Dustin Harper http://www.vistarip.com SeanV wrote: Hello, I am currently on dial up.. and every bit counts.

Modem speed is half
Im at work, So I cant test it right now, But I'm pretty sure its not normal,
its always at 45,000 (shows it) and now its always 28,000... And while playing Online games like world of warcraft, i can DEFINITELY see a HUGE difference. websites open slower too. Should I try replacing the phone line I use from my computer to the phone jack? "Dustin Harper" wrote: Have you done an online speed test. That speed is just what the modem connects at.

Modem speed is half
You can try, but since it worked in Windows XP I don't think that it
would make much of a difference. You can try changing the port setting to 115,200 in the modem properties.

Modem speed is half
Sean,
Check your modem settings. Many modems have a panel that will DISABLE protocols that appear unavailable. It is quite possible for you to connect one day, with some uncommon conditions that cause your modem to connect slower than usual, to the result that your modem disables the seemingly unavailable protocols. In your modem settings, check for a dialog box that lists several check boxes with numbers like V90 and V92, etc. Be certain that V90 and V92 are not disabled. (This may or may not be available, depending on your particular modem). Also, go to NETWORK and SHARING CENTER, Manage Network Connections. Double-click your connection. Next window click PROPERTIES. Next window should show CONNECT USING with your modem listed. Click on CONFIGURE. In this next window, there will be a bar that reads MAXIMUM SPEED (bps) with a drop down. Make sure that hasn't been set below 57600. Let us know if any of this helps! "SeanV" wrote: Hello, I am currently on dial up.. and every bit counts.
