Maybe ya should have someone check your line for JUNK!
I use the 56 V/90 with a Duo 280, 2300 and 2400, all are fast with 56 V/90's
vrs Slow as heck with the 14.4. Download are a fraction of what they are
with the 14.4. Bad phone lines and poorly set up multi-line systems will
slow you down. Games may be a different story. I work not play online!
But then again I have two clean lines for nothing but my computers at home
and DLS for my network in the office.
