Slow Interent Connection-Sudden Onset
Hi:
About two weeks ago, I noticed that my dialup conection via MSN had suddenly slowed to a point where some programs were no longer functioning properly. At times, the speed picks up, seemingly to its previous levels At times, some access numbers to MSN seem to yield a faster connection than do others. I generally dial these via "MyConnection" setups using my MSN account. . These make use of TCP/IP protocol. Software compression is enabled. But a similar slowdown occurs when I use the MSN 8.5 sotware instead of these manually created connections. I havent noticed any slowdown in PC. functions other than that of the internet connection I ran several Download Bandwidth tests via PcPitstop at: http://www.pcpitstop.com/internet/Bandwidth.asp and my download speed ranges between 19-30 Kbs on my 56K modem Other than than the slow download banwidth, the other test paramaters were ok at that site, including the various ping tests. How can I ascertain what is causing these slowdowns? MSN TechSupport claims it is not due to a problem with their servers. Their recommendations re optimizing my modem by adding an init. line didnt help much. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in Advance: -Eli ================ Windows ME IE 6.0 SP1 127 Meg RAM |
