Hey all im new here but i was hoping that someone could help me out ive recently upgraded my aol account to 2mb but although when i connect it says 2.2 mb my speed is still equivelent to 1mb connection. I am using a connexant usb modex with aol but have it configured so i do not need to install all the aol junk software. Please anyone give me an idea of how i can fix this. I have tried talking to aol but unless you are using their software and modem they are of little help. I have tried using bt voyager but speeds were the same.
