Re: [Simply Computers] Bad dial up connection

 

Hi Mollie

You said that you changed your "phone line", but there's a difference between the actual phone lines (the wires from the Phone Company to your house) and the short connecting wire between your modem and the phone outlet in your wall.

We usually refer to the "phone lines" as the ones from the Phone Company to your house, (and from there to the wall outlet).

You changed the short connecting wire from your modem to the wall outlet, but there's much more to the circuitry than that.

The fact that you did not detect any line noise is significant, but not conclusive. You can still request the Phone Company to do a "loopback test", which will give them an indication of any line problems that you didn't detect.

Finally, it may actually be your modem which has gone bad. The only way to test that is to try another modem. In your case, that may mean buying a new modem and trying it.

Sorry, but buying a new modem may be the solution.

let us know how it goes ....

Re: [Simply Computers] Bad dial up connection

 

It might be more affordable than you think. How much are you paying for
dial-up service? And who is your local phone provider? Many of the
telephone companies have special, unadvertised 'bottom of the barrel'
broadband service, that you usually have to specifically ask for - AT&T
for instance, has a special 20 dollar (or is it 10?) DSL service, and
also a 'naked' DSL (no phone service, just the DSL line) service thats
only 20 bucks.

Re: [Simply Computers] Bad dial up connection

 

I would check your telephone junction box outside. Back when I had dial
up mine would get worse whenever it rained because the box was leaky.
You may find some old corroded wires in there.

This is generally unnecessary. 56k modems will renegotiate their connection
speed while you stay connected. I haven't used windows dial up in nearly a
decade but last I remembered renegotiated speed wasn't shown in the dialup
networking dialog box, so the connection can be slower or faster than what
windows reports at any given moment.
