I have Tata Indicom Dial up connection with a speed of 56 kbps.But each time I connect to the net I get a speed of 9 to 26 Kbps. I Make a complaint to them and they people make some setting in my system which are not usefull to speed of 56 kbps. Anyone can check the same if he is using the Dialup connection. Can some one help me. It means I Pay for 100 Hours but get only 40 to 50 hours. It is a cheating to the comunity. Will some one make a Writt Petition about this to solve the matter.
Regards

The connection speed depends heavily on the quality of the line. I typically got 45-50.6, and the other guys are right, the FCC limits the speeds, so you'll never get above 52 or so. I did have a relative with a really bad connection speed. Did everything trouble shooting wise, and even tried different ISPs. Even had the phone company out to check the line. All sorts of testing, and still 5-10. We gave up and got dsl.

That is a very Good ADSL connection. anything over 5 or 6 Mb/s is good for download you are never going to get more than 16 without going to Fibre. so 12 out of 16 is more or less the max you can expect unless you are next to the exchange itself. Considering that boradband ADSL speeds all started at 0.5 not even 5 Mb/s, having 12 is good. Again the theortical max is 1 Mb/s up and you have 0.8 (or 80%) of that. PLUS upload is no where near as important, unless you are uploading videos. Again, fibre if available (and lots of places still cannot get it, often single roads even if the surrounding ones can). You are fine.

The speeds you are seeing are quite typical of dial-up. Even though the modem has a theoretical limiting speed of 56k, for regulatory reasons the actual maximum is less, and by the time you deal with error correction and the other problems endemic to the medium, 26k is about what one would expect. If you want more speed, go for DSL or cable if available in your area. I have used both with satisfactory results.

I really hate to break it to you, but your dial-up connection will NEVER reach 56 Kbps. The reason for this is because telephone lines cannot carry all of that. Sorry.

Sometimes it isn't always possible to get a 56kbps connection. In most cases, you'll be lucky to get 2.6Kb/s.
Keep in mind, that there are factors that come into play when using your dialup connection, such as the quality of your phone line, noise on the line, how far you are away from the provider. Etc.
Also note that 56kbps stands for bit's per second, not bytes per second. Which means you could technically get 5.6kB (Kilobytes) per second of bandwidth, but on my last 14 years of using modems, I have never gotten that sort of bandwidth on my dialup.
Consider yourself luckyif you are pulling constant 2.6kB/s :D (26kbps)

the speed depends on the telco company or Internet Service Provider. You can't do anything to increase the rate. better you switch to broadband to have better and faster connection than dial-up.

The max you can get is 53kbps, by FCC edict.
If you're only getting 9-26, it could be a number of things- a bad modem in your computer, old wiring in your house, bad wiring in the neighborhood, or a problem at their end.

I would go threw all the local access numbers for your ISP, you may be able to get a better connection rate depending on what local loop you are in.

real speed of 56k modem is 53kbps.
but your connection speed is very low. i think you media(telephone cable) has many noise or your telephone center does not service u as good service.and usally it decrease speed very much.
