Dialup Internet Access

Posts Tagged ‘access’

Well I just ordered my new laptop online but I realized that we have dial-up (can’t get anything else) and so I need something with a modem!? Do most laptops come with a like 56K modem even if it doesn’t say so, or because no one has dialup anymore did they just stop adding that? If so, is there some sort of a modem I can add with a cable? HELP!

Are there dialup access numbers in houston, TX?

what is the difference between ISDN, BRoad band,dialup and leased line connection used for internet access if possibe tell me in details.

I just signed up for satellite internet and it is slower than my old dialup access. Sure, download speed is faster…for downloading files. But, upload speed on the satellite is horrible! Regular web surfing is much slower than dialup.

I did a speed test on both connections. Look at the results and tell me if that is typical for dialup upload speeds to be so much faster. Should I complain to the satellite company after seeing the results below?

Satellite Average Speeds:
Upload: 70-100
Download: 1200-1500

Dialup Average Speeds:
Upload: 180-190
Download: 40-50

Have a question about multilinking modems. My ISP can’t seem to figure out how to set up multilink access at their end for me to use. I can’t get DSL or cable…so I need some more speed.

Is it possible to use two different ISPs with an account at each? In the dialup properties, there is a place to allow a different phone number to be dialed per each modem, but I don’t see a place to enter separate login/pass for each modem.

Any ideas to get around this? Thanks.
BTW, I have Windows XP…two modems…two phone lines…etc.
If not…does anyone know an ISP that allows multilinking and knows how to do it?
