Mollie,
Your problem is probably with the phone lines themselves. I live in the
country 6 miles from the nearest town and it, not counting the college, is
less than 10,000 people. Over the years my dial up has consistently got
worse as the area grows. I have logged on as low as 46 with actual download
speeds of .9 kb. I now do all my downloads or uploads in the middle of the
night when the lines are freed up and businesses are shut down.
The last time I had the phone company check my lines all the did was move my
connection to another twisted pair in the cable, telling me the main line
must have been hit with lightning several times because there were only a
few connections left in the cable with the rest being burnt out.
