Thats being connected at 45.2Kbps Duration 15min will do a few more to see if it wasnt a fluke

Sadly this is what I'm getting now, why such a speed difference?

also, I helps playing on-line at off peak hours ~ lol

DMN, What time of day do you try to play online? It would behoove you to play at the wee hours of the night.

I'm not sure what this means There are 2 or more A/D's on this loop.

Found some info about A/D's

Modulation          : V.90                       

Upload Speed        : 24000 BPS                             

Download Speed      : 45333 BPS

Loop information    : There are 2 or more A/D's on this loop

Loop information    : Typical download speed is 19200 - 24000 BPS

Loop information    : with a V.90 modem

If you have more than 1 A/D conversion, or other serious impairment on your line. 56k (x2, Flex, V.90 and V.92) will not work

http://www.modemsite.com/56k/x2-adconversion.asp

I'm still not sure what exactly an A/D is and what it does. According to them it's not good to have more than 1 though.

I cannot use the AT command Y11 really no sense any I guess since I've already established that there are indeed 2 or more A/D's on my loop.

Going to do some more resarch about the subject. If thats the case would adding a CAT3, CAT5 line to my computer even help any

Cholla, My NID is way different than yours but I get the gist. I'm going in town today and picking up the items needed hopefully if nothing comes up.

With your surge protector, you don't receive any line interference having your phone line plugged into it?

That's alot of info thank you I'm going to go down in the basement in a few and have a look 'round and  do some measuring. Every part of my basement is dark and dungy except a room that I built for hosting poker tourneys new meaning to B&M  (brick and mortar) my lighting fixture's in that room are fluorescent lights so will have to compensate for that

I used a direct hook up to my NID meaning it doesn't run through the plug inside the NID that goes to the phones in the houses if that plug is unplugged the PC isn't

Alot of what you said went well over my head lol does that mean you have your line ran from the NID straight to your computer?

Gonna check out downstairs and crunch some numbers will try to pick up what is needed later on today. Once I get started will probably have to check with you on some things more than likely thanks again for the info

BTW I changed the system.ini file Com03Irqbuffer to 8760 and added Com03Irq18=115200 that you suggested didn't see any real improvement.

So I thought well I'll add my port number as well Com01Irq04=115200 logged in seemed like pages were loading even faster wasn't logged in for more than 3 min. and got d/c. Logged back in and I couldn't achieve no faster than 28 connect speeds tried 3 or 4 different times and with other access numbers as well as deleting the Com01Irq04=115200 tweak

Turned my pc off for the night thinking great just fried something lol well all is fine now wonder why it did that?

Cholla, Am I able to run a CAT5 line directly from my NID to my comp. room w/o any complications?

Great will try it out after I win a couple of sit 'n go poker tounreys

Works for me run- system.ini

DMN, In some cases such as mine by placing 3 commas in the preffix and/or suffix both ie. ( ,,,555-5555,,, ) gives your modem time to make a more reliable/faster connection.

DMN, If you have not already done so try out all the access numbers that are local to you some are routed differently and may offer a better/ higher connection. Try using other isp access numbers as well.

Even if you do connect at higher speeds keep in mind you may recieve alot of modem errors. When it comes to dial up alot of times Slow is fast, Fast is slow.

Like cholla said if you can, make your own cat5 twisted pair line run it directly from the wall into the comp. That's how I do mine you can find the items you need at radio shack fairly inexpensive.

Do you have a satellite? If so make sure your satt. box is not plugged into another jack in the house

For kicks I used your 18662936556 number in hyperterminal here are the results.

Alright I had about 12ft. of the twisted pr. line laying around. I cut off 1ft. worth added those plastic end thingies. Moved my pc a bit closer to the jack my new AT%Q 35 AT%L 18. I made the last one up as well perhaps something came loose?

Tried three other non twisted pr. lines all gave me a higher reading.

While I took my dogs outside I looked over the ground for the line/satellite. It's just a heavy gauge wire bit larger than a phone line. The clamps are exposed no digging required and the wire runs from the ground right into my electric meter that cant be good? It has also been painted to match the color of my home if anything you would think whoever installed it would've scrapped the paint off around where my satt/line would be grounded onto  I'm no electrician wouldn't shock the sh*t outta me if i go out and do that would it? It's justa ground wire shouldnt be any harm I'd think.

I'll send Verizon an email using yours as an example and see what i come up with

Verlak, Although I personally never used AOL those I do know have had major problems after uninstallation. To make sure you are free of AOL's grip if/when you decide to cancel there service

You just might want to do some google searches beforehand

Verlak, I'm unaware of WildBlue I did a quick look over at there site seems promising although still quite high

Take www.eskimo.net up on there offer for a FREE 2 week 56k/isdn trial no credit card needed fill out the form and they will call you probably tomorrow to confirm your account. They will then give you a user/pass along with the DNS numbers you need to connect

Since you are using AOL it is definitely worth a shot.

When you did the test at the NID did this disconnect the rest of the house most modern NID's work that way.If it did the you could have a phone causin the problem where you normally have your PC or its the phone cable to your PC.

Yes it disconnected the rest of my phone lines in the house. that is normal you say?

BTW I do not have a phone plugged into the wall in the same room where my computer is set up.

As my phone line I'm using a 2 maybe 3 foot twisted pr. that is supposedly the best right? Although my home wiring are the older ones

A better ground rod to the NID sometimes helps But sometimes doesn't have a 6 foot copper clad steel ground rod hooked to mine the NID was just grounded to a water pipe at my house by the phone company.

I'm not sure what they grounded it to but my satellite is grounded in the same spot could that harm anything?

I have posted a telsink test from Hyperterminal that you can see how many load coils are on the line from a graph & some other results.But the one I use is SBC & it is only available in a 5 state area around me.I'm not sure it even covers all of Texas.It is also called a "data line quality test"

Your phone company probably has one if they will give you the number.You will need to talk to a tech to get it probably above the first level.It took me several calls & several techs to get the one I use.Lower level techs had not even heard of the test.These would do a lower level test that only told them the line was OK.

My phone company is Verizon so if anyone has the number I may use that be great. If not I'll go through the agony of finding a upper tech then.  When I spoke to them about how far I'm from the nearest CO. I asked about the number I may use and the lady had no clue about what I was speaking of.

ROM_DOS~ Will post a modem diagnostic test shortly

Well I unplugged everything and moved my comp. downstairs to the kitchen figured that's where the main phone line begins. Ran Hyperterminal and came up with 34 & 18 better but still heavy line noise. After that I ran a phone cord directly into the the telco box outside my home. Results were the same 34, 19.

Any suggestions on how I may lower my line noise?

Cholla,

AT%Q results 44

AT%L results 19

I believe tony is right, acts the same as NetZero I have mine blocked by my firewall from even loading.

You can find this tweak among many others provided by ROM-DOS  at  http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=9452.0

This tweak will help web pages load faster, it has no real effect on download

speeds, your pc will look up websites faster, speeding up how fast the page loads.

Cholla~ tried out those commands some work some didn't those that worked gave me the same info that I had already posted two others gave me a number and then said OK. I found a site that shows you how to decipher it I still have no clue what to do lol. Here's where it is at http://www.modemhelp.net/linenoise/bcm/bcm.shtml

God this company rips people off even worser that AOL

$20 A MONTH AND A SESSION LIMIT GOD THAT SUCKS

Dark06

I'm not looking to pay for their service if that was the case I'd get a local service closer to me. I'm merely looking at the possibility that NetZero is a factor as to why I cannot tweak certain settings and achieve better results.

With Eskimo I can use DUN and it's free for 2 weeks no credit card, check or such has to be givin out during init. sign up. Infact they don't even accept credit cards if after the 2 week trial you like there service a check or money order must be sent out otherwise the user/pass become invalid.

I did a line test in hyperterminal here are the results im unsure how to read it though.

Right on love the Harry Potter pic 

I have the modem irq tweak applied and pretty much every other tweak and reg edit, ROM/Cholla have reccomended in their previous topics.

I was wondering if there were a way I can do something in my phone box outside my home that would change my line from Voice to Data?

Just got off the tele ready for this one I am 32,500 and some odd feet away from my telco with that distance I should be very pleased with my connect speeds I guess blahh lol.
