Message: [QUOTE="OnAnySunday, post: 439486, member: 20641"] Well my old Gateway 166p mmx is temporarily retired. My son got a new comp. from Dell. Thing is a beast compared to the ol' trusty Gateway! 2.something gig P4 processor, 256mhz ram, CD-RW, Windows-XP, Harmon/Kardon speakers -w- subwoofers (of course, he's a KID yaknow...) :think: , etc, etc, etc. But we get internet set up....thing connects.....(holding breath)....at 28.8 kps???????????? Wwwwhhhhhaaaaatttttt the?????????? Ive heard everything from having 2 phones in the house to it being the poor quality NM phone lines to "did your dog dig up the phone cable?" as an excuse for this. Well actually our old dog DID dig up the phone cable once. heh heh, but that was years ago!!! :confused: My computer spode question is.........could this be true? What exactly does it take to connect at higher speeds?? I was hoping to get around 50kps but.....oh well. Thank in advance for any input! :) [/QUOTE]
