hi , not aware of a free onspeed software . might you be confusing it with something else ? onspeed is available from here and comes with a pop up stopper which is useful cos your 5 times faster surfing shouldn't be spoiled by pop ups . you said you got more cookies - but surely this would simply be down to the sites you visited which downloaded them with the pages , anyway you can easily configure your browser to restrict or bar cookies - especially browsers like mozilla and to a leser degree m/s i.e. . i've just checked the website and they do a 14 day money back guarantee , so you've nothing to lose . get your dad to pay , he'll get faster dial up too ! and if you're still unhappy get your (dad's) money back anyway .
wifi won't speed up your connection - it just comunicates info reasonably quickly wirelessly within a network of 2 or more computers .

that intel chipped modem is a dog ( i gave up on mine ) but this'll make it better than any dial up modem available by a long way . trust me !

I'm having the same problem. I've hooked directly into the phone jack and still have slow connect speeds and line speeds. My second computer connects at 50k and this one at 38 to 40. Are there any at commands or any other way to tell the modem to connect at >45?

I'v tried new drivers, different locations, even different modems,,just can't seem to get over 40

Asus kt 400
768 ddr 333
2000 mgz
Broadxent DI 3631 V.92 modem

Any ideas?

Thanks guys

Its best to post a new thread of your own rather then add your problems to someone else tread - starts to get confusing.

you can always add a hyperlink to this thread if you want to let people now its the same problem as:-

have you tried the speed tests website to compare?

At lease hook the computer up to the same line that was getting 40+ (Your fathers)
That will let you know real quick if your problem is the computer or the connection.

hi again everyone. i have been busy and so not able to check back here. so today i checked out my modem and tried to compare it and its settings to my dad's modem. (modem settings and netzero settings)

mine: Intel V92 Ham
location: PCI Slot 2 (PCI bus 0, device 9, function 0)
driver date: 6/21/02

modem properties
his: BCM (broadcom corp) V.92 56K
location: PCI Slot 3 (PCI Bus 1, device 6, function 0)
driver date: 2/24/03
we both use FIFO buffers with receive and transmit on the highest settings.
both our max port speeds are 115200

netzero properties
general tab
configure modem
his max speed 57600 bps
my max speed 921600 bps
both YES enable flow control
YES enable modem error control
YES enable modem compression

networking tab (same for both computers)
type of dial up server is PPP with same settings:
NO enable LCP extensions
No enable software compression
YES negotiate multilink for single link connections
uses following items
YES internet protocol TCP/IP
YES CoS packet scheduler
NO file and printer sharing for microsoft networks
YES client for microsoft networks

i think thats it for now. any other settings you guys can think of? the only one that really stands out to me the modem max speed, which i am pretty sure i tried "tweaking" on mine. i will roll that back and see if it helps.

thanks,

just a tought ? look in your modem option for active option..

( ) flux control
( ) error control
( ) compression

Don't know the exact term in english , sorry.

I passed from 1.2kps/s to 4 here.

MAYBE

hi yas

Try these at commands in your extra settings spot on your modem, no idea how well they work, but they might be what you need.

two different modems.

change out the modems to see if his gets worse and your gets better.

if yours is better with his modem get one like his.

i don't like software controlled modems, i like to jumper for com2/irq3.

i find most modems work if you id them as a standard 33/56/flex modem/x2 and they work with windows drivers.
