Sorry you are still just connecting at 33K, Windoze is reporting you com port speed not your connection speed. You need to change a setting to get it to report your connection speed, can't remember what though.IP: Logged |

It doesn't matter like he said its just reporting the port speed.
I always left it on that. Never figured I could do much about the actually connection. Do some test downloads to check what your real speed is. IP: Logged |

Yeah, if you can download a bit faster, leave it be. Depending on where you are, ADSL is a reasonable alternative to SDSL or Cable. However, it also depends on your ISP. If their ADSL is any good it's much better. I'm finding the one I have isn't that great. Better than dial up but I think the software is crappy.IP: Logged |

Sunray, I'm guessing your using PPPOE? There is alternative software you can use if so. I'm using sympatico DSL, and I don't mind the software but there is better freeware ones on the net. Also Windows XP (which I already hate BTW has built in support for PPPOE DSL connections so you wont need any extra software, the OS will take care of it. IP: Logged |

And my take is to get a LinkSys router. They have PPPoE build in, a firewall, DHCP and it's also a four port switching 100MBps hub. I can't say enough about this thing, it sped up my access and now setting up a machine is as simple as plugging it in. Maury IP: Logged |
