I have a small problem.  I was unsatisfied with my ISP because of
repeated slow connection speeds(21.6, 24 kbps).  So I changed providers.

Then I noticed the same speeds with my new provider.  My friend used the

exact same dial-up account as I did with both the first ISP, and the new

one.  With the first he always got 28.8.  With the second, he gets 33.6.

I Thought this odd, since we both used the same dial-up account.  So I
tried with my primary phone line(the line I use for the computer is a
secondary line for the computer), and I got faster connections.  This
narrowed the problem down to the new phone line.

Has anyone heard of this problem?  If so, what can I do to solve it?

Please help me!
