Re: Fail Modem

Is there only one phone jack in the house? You might try an alternate jack and see if its performance is the same.

I'd also try checking your modem drivers. I know the drivers can get corrupted for a number of reasons, usually through no fault of the user (Windows being the incompetent dumbbell it is, usually).

My dial-up connection has suddenly become extremely unreliable. It drops frequently, sometimes without bringing in even a single page. Occasionally it stays connected for longer, but at only 70% of normal speed.

The same thing happened a couple of years ago and it turned out to be a problem with the phone line. Took them two months to come out and fix it.

If this keeps up, I'll have to start using my computer for something other than a molasses-slow conduit for free pr0*drop*
