Why does my dial-up internet only run at 26.4kbps instead of 56.6kbps. My parents pay for 56.6k service, my computer has a 56.6k modem, there is not a restriction set on the speed of the modem on my computer. Any suggestions?

I haven't been to this site for a while, but they were helpful at one time. They can run a free analysis of your machine and then make suggestions for any problems they find.

They hardly ever go over 40ish speeds. And the difference between your 26 and 40 would be so imperceptible anyway, best bet is obviously broadband, dsl or cable.
Driver could help slightly but you probably wouldn't notice the difference.

As someone who has only just recently finished with dial-up, suggesting upgrading isn't too helpful. Whether it be location or contracts or parents not wanting/needing the service, I'd guess a lot wanting faster speeds don't fully have the choice.

You're right, some people can't upgrade. I sympathise with them, dial up is terribly slow whatever tweaks are performed.
I should've said it's the best bet to upgrade if you can.

My parents wont upgrade, even though it is only $4.95 more a mount for DSL. So I am stuck with this until august when I leave for collage.

I can only hope that collage is more effective at teaching you basic english than high school has been.

My dialup runs only at 14.4 k, it depends on your phone lines in your house, and your phone companys cables and technology, I doubt there is a way you can speed it up unless you buy or download special software.
