Topic: My modem connection is slow.
Many factors influence modem connection speed:
❑
Telephone line noise.
❑
Incompatibility with other telephone equipment such as fax machines or
other modems.
❑
Internet Service Providers (ISP) connection capability may vary.
If you think your modem is not connecting properly to other PC-based modems,
fax machines, or your ISP, check the following:
❑
Contact your phone company and ask them to verify that your phone line is
free from line noise.
❑
If your problem is fax-related, check that there are no problems with the fax
machine you are calling and that it is compatible with fax modems.
❑
For optimum performance, verify that your ISP point of presence (POP)
phone number is compliant with V.90 standards.
❑
If you are having a problem connecting with your ISP, check that they are
not experiencing technical problems.
❑
Try connecting your modem through another phone line, if available.
