Q. How can I improve my connect speed?

A- If your connection is excessively slow or frequently dropped, you may have some line noise problems. See the section pertaining to line noise.

You should always have the latest firmware for you modem - especially if you have a 56K modem. Firmware updates are done to fix common problems with modem connections. Failing to keep your firmware current is a major cause of "it used to work and now it doesn't" problems. ISPs upgrade their firmware on their communications servers very regularly to keep up with newer model modems - be sure your modem keeps up too.

Contact your modem's manufacturer for more information. Or, you may simply need to configure your modem differently by using a modem initialization string, which is an easy thing to try! If you don't know anything about initialization strings, you can contact your modem's manufacturer for more information.
