Sun, 01 December 2002 12:48 modem... external vs internal (i have a 4 yr old modem..) you probably only have a 33k modem time to get a 56k modem. external and internal modems have nothing to do with speed. mostly more to do with what you prefer. i have personally found that better brand name modems consistently connect at higher speeds then then no name modems phone lines... some people have told me that phonelines affect the rate at which u connect at... is this true ? depending on how close you live to the exchange can determine your internet speed. the further away the worst your line quality. there is nothing you can to about this. i only onnect at 31 on a good day while others i know connect at 50k i run an athlon 1.8 gig computer your computer speed has nothing to do with your internet speed connection. end of story when i hook up my laptop, it sonnects at abt 38 kbps this further suggests that your computer only has a 33k modem as your laptop is connecting at a higher speed then your computer. they should be both the same or there abouts. Im with TPG (could this be the reason ??) very unlikely. isp dont usually have a hge effect on speed. however i have noticed some isp do connect at slightly higher speeds. furthermore you yourself said that your laptop connects at a much higher speed and so your isp is not the problem my friend uses a 55k modem BUT SHE CONNECTS AT 115.2kbps .. HOW !??! your friend is definitely not connecting at 115k on a 56k modem...its impossible. as someone else said it is the maximum port speed. that is the maximum speed programs can tramsmit data to your modem. your friend probably doesnt have the correct driver for her modem and therefore the computer is not aware at how fast her modem is connecting so tell her the port speed instead. i cant believe some of the info that has been fed to you. most of it is garbage. try upgraing your modem to a 56k and you should get similiar speeds to your laptop.
