Why is my dls bellsouth slow on my laptop and not on base tower?
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

messenger keeps dropping me after five minutes?
yahoo IM keeps dropping me after five minutes or so. I am running windows xp on mozilla firefox. My dialup connection reports 46.4 bps for connection speed. all popup blockers are turned off, there are no proxies to contend with. a microsoft firewall is the only thing connected. java is enables and security is to accept all cookies.

What company has reliable 56k dialup service?
I know dialup sucks but my Mom is in one of those few areas that still doesn't have DSL. She currently has ATT Dialup but can only connect at 28.8 bps. and ATT claims there is nothing faster than that for dialup. Nothing like being lied to….LOL
Anyways, I was looking at some ISPs and was wondering if US Netizen is good or if anyone has any other suggestions.
Thanks in advance and have a great day!!
It's a 56K modem.
