Swimmer Posted March 22, 2004 CID Share Posted March 22, 2004 if you are running a 512k modem it is time for an upgrade. Sadly 512k is considered slow nowadays... Most of the users are running well over 1.5mbs on theses forums. Umm...my guess is that you speed has been upgraded since you orginally got the service so you are not receiving all of the bandwidth that you could be getting.

Swimmer Posted March 24, 2004 CID Share Posted March 24, 2004 No problem!! I love to see the "old", use that term loosly, Ti-4200! That was one of the best series of graphic cards ever made. Yeah an upgrade up to a cable line would be a good move. Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/239-how-can-i-make-my-dsl-faster/#findComment-3269 Share on other sites More sharing options...
