I get a consistently higher connection rate with another ISP. Why??
Typically, this is due to your modem driver. Several ISPs locally are running
older software, which does make connection rates higher for a small percent of
subscribers. However, the latest software ensures a more stable and uniformly
fast connection. Upgrading your modem driver to it's latest software is the
single best thing you can do to improve your connection speed. Contact your
computer or modem vendor and ask them for the latest V.90 driver.
