Hi,
I believe that both your modem and your "customer" have modems designed for 56 Kbps download and 28 Kbps upload. Most ISPs have 56 Kbps upload and 28 Kbps download (opposite), so that the ISP customer can connect at 56 Kbps. If you both have a 28 Kbps upload modem, that means your "customer" can only download at 28 Kbps. Does this sound right?
It does, and it was something I did not know about (learn something new every day <g>). Is there anyway you can "reverse" a modems speeds (firmware upgrade, AT command etc.), or would I have to purchase a new one? A look at my modems technical specification reveals that the max upload time, should be 36.6, yet I can still only manage 28.8, so I still might have something set-up wrong somewhere. Cheers Phil
