Why is my modem connection slow?
Many factors influence modem connection speed:
❑ Telephone line noise
❑ Incompatibility with other telephone equipment such as fax machines or
other modems.
❑ Internet Service Providers (ISP) connection capability may vary.
If you think your modem is not connecting properly to other PC-based modems,
fax machines, or your ISP, check the following:
❑ Contact your telephone company and ask them to verify that your telephone
line is free from line noise.
❑ If your problem is fax-related, check that there are no problems with the fax
machine you are calling and that it is compatible with fax modems.
❑ For optimum performance, verify that your ISP point of presence (POP)
telephone number is compliant with V.90 standards.
❑ If you are having a problem connecting with your ISP, check that they are
not experiencing technical problems.
❑ Try connecting your modem through another telephone line, if available.
