We had similar problems some time back. Checked with Telstra and
they in turn tracked the problem to slaters in a junction box. They
exude an enzyme that attacks the insulation on the wires. Do you
have a junction box near you - a concrete rectangular "box" at ground
level near the houseline.

It has been happening for awhile now so it's not related to the Mac OS
update. Hardware and software haven't changed since I stopped getting
my better connection speeds (except for minor updates now and then).
I did notice that my phone line has been behaving strangely for a
while. That started about the same time the connection speed went bad.
You can hear interference over normal phone calls sometime (not
cordless phone) and sometimes the phone just cuts out to silent when
the phone is dialing up to someone.
Anyway thanks for the help
I will go through the elimination process

Hi Ruben,
You do not tell us what has happened in the middle ! ?
You are running 10.2.3 on a G4-400
which means you have at least updated your MAC OS
because 10.2.3 has only just arrived.
Assuming that NOTHING has changed on your phone line or at your ISP
this MIGHT mean you are using a different Modem Initialiasatiuon
SCRIPT.
Trevor's description about the PROCESS OF ELIMINATION is the
way to
go !
So what was the Hardware and WHAT software were you using when you were
getting the better speed ?

I'm sure there's been something about this in the past but I haven't
been able to find it (sorry about that).
I've noticed that I don't seem to be getting the same download rates
that I used to get. I used to get about 4.8kb/sec and now I get about
3.8kb/sec. I also noticed that I don't seem to be able to get a
connection above 40000 bps very often (sometime get 42667). I used to
get connected at 46667 or 48000. I'm pretty sure it's not the ISP's
fault. Does anyone know what might be causing this and is there any
way of correcting this problem.
Running 10.2.3 on G4-400

Using standard Internet Connect
Thanks for help
