My dialup is also very slow, under 2 Kb at most. I already reported it here, with the test I run to check it out. I don't use DHCP, at least as far as I know.
It is not an ISP problem: connecting through a SuSE 7.3, old Pentium machine, speed is fast, over 5Kb.
Others have reported similar problems in suse 9.0, after applying YOU patches. I have tested with a Knoppix 3.4, 2.4.26 kernel, and the problem seems to be there as well: I have to recheck before confirming this.
That's a possibility for me too. I just did a lot of YOU updates.
Which SuSE version are you using? Perhaps 9.0, and it broke after an update? In that case I urge you to report ASAP to feedback, and mention this thread for further info. I think they are backporting some code from 9.1 that is broken, perhaps in the pppd daemon. But it is only a guess, it needs more corroboration: that's why knowing if yours broke after an update is so interesting. What did you update? ls -ltr /var/lib//YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/9.0/patches/ will show what patches were recently sugested by YOU. If you see something for pppd there, perhaps you could remove that patch (go back to previous version). If there is no ppp patch there, then it could be the kernel. I'm interested in knowing more about this, connecting at 2Kb/s average is a real pain! -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
