My DSL is Too Slow, could it involve my phone lines?

PROBABLY BAD PHONE LINE, CAN TRY SOME OF THE FOLLOWING
SLOW DOWN THE RX TO 1700
TURN OFF ECM
INSTALL DSL FILTER EVEN IF ITS NOT A DSL LINE
MAKE SURE THE PHONE COPANY KNOWS ITS A FAX LINE
IF ITS VOIP IT MAY NEVER WORK WELL
RESEAT ALL CONNECTORS IN FAX 3900
TRY SETTING TO MMR
MAY ALSO BE PROBLEM WITH THE SENDING FAX MACHINEOR, THERE PHONE LINE

It sounds like they have given you the base DSL service with the minimal speed. If they did, it won't be enough to run two things at one time on the same dsl line. Call AT&T and check your speed or service that was installed and ask if it is enough to run to computers on the same line at once.
Also make sure that there is no filter on your dsl line that goes to your computer.

Here is another tip; the longer the phone line from the wall to your computer, the slower the dsl service. Longer cords slow down your internet.

Try using a different browser, IE8 is ridiculously slow onXP . Opera is by far the fastest but if you don't see a clear difference then your DSL connection is really too slow. Phone Qwest and ask for explanations and when they are going to fix that.

Since you have a DSL ( Digital Subscribers Line ), the HP Fax printer works on Analogue Signals.

To make the GP Printer work on Digital line, First step you can do is to Reduce the Fax Speed from Fast/Medium to SLOW.
To Do so, Click on Setup button on printer front panel - Choose Fax Settings - Choose Fax Speed - Set it to Slow and try to fax

If this does not work, you will have to connect a DSL Filter ( this is a 2 way port - 1 port for Digital line and another for Analogue )
You will have to connect this Filter to DSL Phone line - in the IN port and from the Analugoue Port - Connect Phone cable to Printer Line 1 EXTN Port at back of Printer

change the software cd and try again

You can buy a splitter to put on your line so you can run both devices. They sell them at the dollar tree big lots and everywhere else usually, and range from .59 to $2. as far as another DSL filter ask a friend neighbor or co-worker if they have or had dsl and have an extra filter. If not then you can pick them up for a couple of bucks at radio shack

try resetting the browser try to change the micro filter turn off the modem and computer power it back and check try connecting the modem to the main telephone socket check if the if ur phone line works fine after all these check the problem still continues its dsl connection problem

THE REMOTE COMPUTER DID NOT RESPOND

if you are using dial up, you shud not have a modem.. modem is just for DSL connection
if you have a modem probably you are using a DSL connection

DEFINITION:
dial up - connection using a phone line with internet connection; cannot use fone while on internet

DSL/modem- connection using a modem plugged in with computer and fone line; able to use fone even when on internet.

Explaining an opinion on DSL's speed doesnt help fix a problem. Not to mention the fact that DSL is on a digital subsciber line, your own phone number, not the neighbors, you have it backwards, its cable that can have its speed impaired if all your neighbors go on.

Anyway, I am an expert with netopias. I trouble shoot them all day long on people's DSL connections. The symtopms that MacWyb is describing sounds like he has degregation of service that needs to be fixed by maintenance. They can do whats called a rip and rebuild, where they take off the virtual circuit and virtual path (vp and vc) and then build it right back, this clears this type of problem up quite often. It would also be a loose wire at the D-mark, the gray box on the side of your house, thats happened to me twice now. Or, It could be you're on a redback that has too many customers assigned to it, maintenance, if this is the case, would have to move your circuit, assign it to antoher redback, or brass router, whatever they're on.

In anycase, It means a call in to technical support with your ISP. They will create a trouble ticket to look at it for you.

This is all taking for granted you dont have a buzz on your phone (which would make it a telco issue, a call to your local phone company to fix the line), and that you have all your DSL filters installed on every phone in the house, including fax machines, etc.
