Name: Quick dialup question. 2007-08-30 7:11 ID:vABu18xO
First, take the time to laugh at my ass for still having dialup.
Anyway. My comp used to connect at around 48 kbps [before harddrive failure.]
With XP reloaded and everything, and modem drivers reinstalled, it now caps at 28 kpbs. Constantly. I know it's an issue with my computer and not the phone lines as the fried comp I'm using right now connected at 37 kbps.
Question is this... doesn't the 28 cap mean there's a conflict? Like, AOL is trying to use the wrong modem or whatever.
[Yes, I am fully aware AOL is complete garbage, but I don't have a choice.]
