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?

Don't know if this will help, but worth a try.

Driver could help slightly but you probably wouldn't notice the difference.

I should've said it's the best bet to upgrade if you can.

Originally posted by Dr StrangeloveMy 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.
