View Full Version : How to speed up my telephone line internet connection. Seeker01 10-12-02, 11:38 PM Our country normal telephone line connection is slow, about 4~5 kb/sec! You need to pay more for ISDN or boradband lines. Is there a software to speedup normal tel line connection? Stryder 10-13-02, 12:07 AM There are some tweaks that will increase your speed by controlling the size of the packets that your system runs with, but to tell you the truth a 56k can't be sped up that much. It's a similar story to overclocking a PC (In the sense of "is there really a point to overclock your pc to run 1-10mhz faster?") Perhaps you can find an ISP with compression software, where there connections "appear faster" because thier packets are encoded data thats recompiled at your end or server-side. But there aren't too many of them. If you want a faster connection, presently it's going to cost. Seeker01 10-13-02, 04:54 AM yeah, money means speed! currently i download software in company which line has the speed of ~50kb/sec. SoLiDUS 10-13-02, 07:14 AM Even if you got DSL, I think the maximum you would get is 150k downstream... Get cable ;) Seeker01 10-13-02, 09:16 AM here, you need to pay US$150 for 600kb/sec broadband line, US$300 for 2MB/sec. how much it costs in US or UK ? Stryder 10-13-02, 09:37 AM UK it depends if it's available... it seems that the telecom services (once a proud assest of the nation) are a bit backwards. Adam 10-13-02, 09:39 AM Packet size is determined by the uploading machine, not the downloading machine. So regarding download speeds, fiddling with packet size won't matter. More important for dial-up here is the phone system. Our lines are terrible. Most of Australia uses forty year old phone lines and twenty year old switching nodes. Our major phone company, Telstra, guarantees line speeds of about 36 kb/s, but down around my family's farm it only gets up to 4 kb/s, on a good day. Nothing you do to your computer will alter phone line/exchange conditions. You can, however, use various AT command sets to make your modem take best advantage of your situation. Just Google "AT command strings" and you should find something for your modem.

Adam 12-07-02, 07:27 PM Unfortunately, unless you get a company package, broadband deals here are all capped, as far as I know. And apart from that, the system where I am now is just too old, and doesn't support any broadband options. :( CounslerCoffee 12-08-02, 01:33 AM Adam, Are you on a proxy server? Man...
