My dial up connection used to connect at 48.8 kps every time I got on the internet for the last few years. Lately it only connects at 24-36 kps. What could cause this to happen and what is the best way to fix it (except the obvious answer of upgrading to cable/DSL or using a proxy)

An internet connection can become slow or stop working due to a number of reasons depending on the type of the connection. Many of the problems can be solved by making software changes or small hardware corrections. Detailed instructions at http://tinyurl.com/yl62gz

(1) busy or someone has left phone off the hook - if you have several phones in the house (we have 9), check to see if they are on the cradle - even if not used, sometimes someone knocks it off (2) you didn't say if you are getting connected, even though you don't hear dial tone. If this is the case, maybe the 'sound' on your computer is 'off' or on'mute' (3) if you have, like most phones have today, call waiting, caller ID, voicemail, etc.....disable those (if above 1 and 2 don'work) (4) if all above does not work, check your internet connections in my computer and uninstall your internet provider and reinstall. (5) check to see if settings are dialing are correct. See ifyou can add some more phone lines to connect to --- not sure where you live but at certain times of day, computers are the busiest and lines get overloaded. So see what other phone lines to connect to are avail from your ISP (6) and the final step - if all above still a problem - call help desk - use your cellphone as they will need your landline to check the connection

is the phone company doing work in the area, that would be a problem. Has your, or is your ISP provider doing upgrades. has your ISP did an up grade from V90 standards to V92 if so does your modem support V92, these are not questions on your question just things to look at. hope this helps

As you obviously know this is happening because the Bandwidth is being given to Broadband. Things are only going to get worse for you, there is no fix. You just have to accept the inevitable I'm afraid.
