I am on a 28.8k dial up. Bleh. However, My modem is a 56K and I used to get 53.3k. One day I just started getting the lower speed. I tried that line check number that U.S. Robotics has, but it is always busy (though, I tried it when we moved in here and it indicated that our line was fine for 56k). I've swapped out the modem. I've changed ISPs. I've tinkered with the modem settings (though I'm no modem expert). Frankly, I've resigned myself to the low connection speed. Now, I'm thinking AxMe... time to take the power back! Any ideas?
