    Can anyone explain why I am connected at 38,666 and not the normal 56k. I reaise that I will never download at this speed but when I watch the download rate it rarely goes above 4000 bytes ps? All advise on this is welcome.

    thats about normal, you could try getting a good quality intel v92 modem and try utvip

    they connect me at 115kbps

    That's only the port speed being reported, it's impossible to connect at that speed on a 56k modem.

    Thats at the low end of the range for v90 connections-however it is a v90 connection so I very much doubt there is a pair gain on your line. Do the usual checks on your internal wiring-ie length of cables, loose connections etc

    Cheers, tried main Eircom socket in the house and found higher connection and faster download. The cheap box I installed to prewired copper (not an extension) must have a ****ty socket. Will fit a new one and see how I get on.
