Please log in for more thread options I get a DSL download speed from ATT Yahoo DSL of about 320 kbps using a Speedstream 5260 modem with or without router....got the precise same speed from another router unsupported by ATT. I'm running XP on a Dell Latitude C600. I strongly suspect its a faulty DSL feed that's causing it. Any suggestions on what to try before I call ATT again? | ||||||||||||||||

Some ISP software installs programs that can confuse the settings and actually slow things down rather than speed things up like they claim. | ||||||||||||||||

Another problem that turns up time after time with new DSL installations is either bad quality internal wiring or unfiltered devices like alarm systems, answering machines, dial-in water or gas meters. Take your DSL modem and plug it directly into the telephone NIC jack (like you would a test phone) and either drag your computer there and try it or run a long Ethernet cable to the computer and see what speed you get. Stay away from wireless if possible while testing as it only adds another level of complexity where problems might exist. If your speed does go up to what you expected then the problem is something inside your home and not the Telco's or ISP's problem. | ||||||||||||||||

It's an old line, probably capped....I've been getting lousy speeds for years but just never worried about it before. I'll try plugging in at the box as you suggest and report back. Thanks to all. GlowingBlueMist wrote: > GlowingBlueMist wrote:
