Hy Guys, The speed of the modem has little to do with the actual connection speed obtainable. This is dfetermined more by the quality of the line you have, the exchanges in between and the distances between you and the exchange and what the modem is at the other end. The two modems will generally connect at the highest speed they can on a given line. Sometimes ISP's will limit the connection speed to ensure solid connections. One question regarding your problem .... what is the computer model ?
