Dial Up Issues ...

Yea, that is basically what I said... Though I havent heard of the static thing... but with my dial-up --> DSL All we did was called the ISP and told them that we have 4 comps on it and that it is unexceptable. they made it much faster, because I heard from a computer tech that they cant see your connection speed, but they will raise it up some.

Something else to think about in addition to shorter total line distance and surrounding EMI is other phones on the line. If you have multiple phones throughout the house all on the same phone line, try unplugging them from the phone jacks before you connect. Newb suggestion, but dont forget to disable call waiting.
