when was the last time u reinstalled the modem driver? DFM560s arent the greatest modems. Are you using the latest driver? Have you tried locking the modem down to a more stable speed?  

Tried a decent external modem?

Could also be the phoneline... things change over time, like line quality... ever seen a telstra techie van around the neighbourhood?  

theres so many things that can affect the way it works

Have the latest driver.

Maximum Port speed: 115200

Phone line is new we just bought the house and the Phone point is like 2 m from my modem. So everything is fine. its ISP....99%.

Havent seen any vans. my modem is external.

Is iPrimus dial-up any good?

[inark]

our dialup is as good as any others... wouldnt rate it any higher... if u were to come to primus with that modem i would not sign u up... however im not in sales unfortunately.

whcih chipset is it? RCV?

can u get me the ATIs of the modem?

I was on iprimus dialup with a rockwell PLL external modem. Was gettin 52kbps constantleee. External modems rawk my cawk

[inark]

uve obviously got XP

what speeds are u connecting at??

on the advanced tab it will say something like extra initialization commands...

put in there

+ms=12,,,40000

if u connect at less than that then try

+ms=11

[inark]

yes munkeh... yes they do

its a rockie so u shouldnt have too many issues... unless ur line is crap... which u can only get ur local call provider to check with a MOLDS test... altho ur ISP should be able to see what ur line is like and what the connections are like

I connect at 49.2 Kbps.

Typed in "+ms=12,,,40000 " connected at 40.0 Kbps

[inark]

thats right but it should make it more stable... one of the issues is that ur modem may be retraining..... retraining is where due to either line noise or poor driver support the modem changes modulation.... ie. u connect at 49.2k but during the connection it chops and changes (u wont see this tho)... the only way u will know its doing it is the fact that u may get loss in data flow or disconnected.

Ok, it didnt change anything... still slow... its ISP...

[inark]

lol try the +ms=11

Originally posted by inark

Connected at 33.6 Kbps. lol faRkin slower then before...

[inark]

but that will slow u down to v34

i cant really do much in way of suggesting lock downs as i cant see ur connections... so it would be useless to use the v34 lockdown unless ur modem was retraining down that low anyway...

[inark]

lol its physically slower but it might be more stable... i might be able to get u onto a family and friends plan if that still exists around here... i think its like 19.95/month unlimited hours and downloads... and then i can check ur connections and stuff.
