i have a 56 k modem and when i download stuff it downloads at 1 meg every 7 mins is there a way to speed it up.
Dial up is painful even when it`s working properly.Here are some tweaks that might help - http://www.inboost.com/speed-tweaks/modem-tweaks.html Also,make sure you haven`t got any spyware on your system.Spyware can kill bandwidth.
Wow man, you can't speed up dial-up. I'm on 256k and as slow as all $H!t. A meg every seven minutes is normal. On the connection I'm hopefully getting soon, it will be about a gig every four hours... Also, think about ADSL. It remains connected always so you don't have to dial, get considerably better speed than dial-up and it is getting hillariously cheap. I laugh at people with anything under 128k...
