Well, if I remember correctly, the modem slows down as it heats up.
It affected USR288s about a year ago, which was when I bought mine,
but it seems to have been working reasonably well until recently
(although come to think of it, my average connection hit rate has
probably only ever been about one in five).

The reason I suspect mine's at it is because it only seems to connect
at all these days if it's been switched off for a while.  But even then
it'll only work for four or five minutes max. And it's not as if
the connection's inactive; it'll quite happily drop in the middle of
a news or mail download.

Slainte,
Calum.
