Besty Posted April 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 Could it be adware because all his neighbours seem to have no trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 He can ask his line provider to turn up the volumn (or gain) which can increase the bps (allows more data flow). But if he goes b/b you'll have to turn it down again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djohn Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Good point from Michelle but don't mention it's because of the modem, they may put you at the end of the queue.Say it's because you can't hear voice calls very well and the general line quality is poor. Might do it in 48 hours for you then :unsure:[Edit] When you call the engineer, place a well folded handkerchief over the phone to make your voice sound distant. :lol: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
