Slow Internet Connection

speedyboy · 2002-10-17 17:40:21

For the last two weeks this laptop is connecting to the internet at a much slow speed than usual 31.2kbps, It used to always be over 40, Its a dell inspiron 8000 with a lucent winmodem. Ive tried it with a different ISP and different phone cable. Ive also tried the windows trouble shooter. Any ideas??????
