I have added the bellsouth accelerator among other software and still my dsl bellsouth is almost as slow as dialup. I get warrining that my ip address is in conflict but suposedly bellsouth teck support walked me through that. Still very slow. I am on wireless and my tower unit operates at 58BPS but my laptop only shows 9BPS. I assume if I could get both BPS at 58 then speed would be the same. Both laptop and tower started at same speed and for unknown reasons the lap top slowed down. Start up is almost the same but to download and delete emails takes forever. Also my lap top shows that the bellsouth accelereator is working when with dsl it is not suppose to work. At times deleting emails it appearse to almost lock up. To go get cup of coffee and on return it will finally move to next email. I have performed all normal maintanance with no improvement. Thanks in advance for your help. gene
The reason that you might be having problems, is there could be things in your enviroment that is slowing your dsl down: like electrical wiring, or copper, and the type of cordless phone you have, could be if you have concret walls, also how far away you are from the crossbox, depending on how far you are from that depends on how good your signal is going to be, it could also be how old your laptop is. The older the laptop the more uncapable it is going to be to get a good signal and the slower it is going to run. The problem with it running slow could be if you have spyware on your computer that will really mess things up. So uninstall that and put Norton on. Could also be if you have alot of things that are downloaded, for instance, get rid of anything that you dont use like games, or other programs, you can get rid of those by control panel, add/remove programs, then start uninstalling. Could be how many programs you have open on you task bar.
