I am using a U.S. Robotics 56K Performance Pro V.92 PCI modem which is fully supported. My ISP supports V.92. I am using Kinternet to connect. Yet, when downloading files from http or ftp, my datarate is averaging 3Kb/s( yes it spikes to 10Kb/s and drops to 0Kb/s, but still

Yeah, dialup speeds are related to phoneline quality, you don't get top v.92 speed just because you have that type of modem.

I'm in the middle of the south pacific ocean and the telephone lines here are from the ""dark ages"". Dial-up of course and the speed is 2.0 or less ( if you lucky, sometimes it just blacks out for no app reason) However , when I have the need to dl a program , I'm NOT using the browser's downloader, like Opera or Mozilla. I found that >>Prozgui>> is a lot faster , not only in speed ( av 2.6) but also in total dl time. ym2c. Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south. (where the hell is that?).
