Hi,
I have a mac g5, running system 10.4 and I use dialup. I have been dialing up at around 50,000K to 52,000K for the last 6 years. Since the middle of dec. I have not been able to dial up at any more than 28,800.
I do live in a rural area, but all of my neighbors are still dialing up in the 50's. I was wondering if anyone had ever had this problem before. There is no reason for the dialup speed to have changed, I haven't changed any settings. The only change that was made around the time this all happened, was I tried to use the internet call waiting that is included with the g5. The call notification did work, but I thought that might be the problem, so I stopped using it.
I have had the phone company out here several times, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with our phone lines. The phone guy hooked his laptop to the line directly from the pole and he connected at 52,000k. I tried connecting right to the pole and I still can only dial in at 28,800. My dialup speed is always 28,800, it never changes ( I find that interesting).
Does anyone know of anyway to find out if this problem is with my modem or if I have to bug the phone company again. I have run the apple hardware program that came with my installation disks, but all that tells me is that it finds a modem, not if it is working correctly or not.
This is so frustrating....
Thanks
Mary
