Modem Connecting at Extremely Slow Speed

[patio]

Normally a 30 Day return policy...save all packaging and documentation...
Best to go to a retailer in this situation rather than online...

I just wanted to quickly add that very, very occasionally I connect at my old, original speed but the connection isn't any faster than when I connect at the 31Kbps. Browsing, downloading, ect. is still extremely slow.

Clik Here for a speed test

Also visit their main page to see if DSL is available in your area...normally not much higher than dial-up access...

I "tried" the speed test. The organizers were so embarrassed they sent a guy to my house to slap my face. In all seriousness, the speedometer only looked to be registering around 700K, if I was reading it right, which I'm not sure I was.

What type of connection do you use?

[AJBlue]

Hey, greywolf. Thanks for responding. I'm using a dial-up, 56K connection.

It seems no matter what speed my modem says it connects at my download speed never gets above 1.5 Kbps/

Did you visit the Homepage above to check for DSL in your area ? ?

[AJBlue]

I haven't checked that yet Patio. I'm pretty sure DSL is available where I live, the only thing stopping me from getting is that after I spent just about every penny I had on college I had to move back in with my parents and haven't been able to find a good, full-time job. Thus my parents are the ones paying the Internet bill. I already feel enough of a freeloader as it is, I would hate to ask for more.

it shouldn't be much more than you are currently paying...that was my point.
