How to improve your dialup modem performance?

You can't assume that just because you connected at a speed like 48.3KBps that you will stay there. Today's modems automatically fall back to a lower speed if the line noise is too high to maintain a faster connection, but sometimes they fall back too soon or too far.

Here's how to do it:

Click Start the button.
Select Settings.
Click Control Panel.
Double-click on the Modems icon.
Select your modem.
Click the Properties button.
Click the Connections tab.
Click the Advanced button.
In the "Extra settings" field, type S36=7
Click OK to save your settings.

Increasing the speed also helps a little bit.
I used to use them on Max speed to get better results.

dial-ups are relatively very slow than the broadband. but now everyone is using broadband or cable internet, and thus the no of dial-up internet users is sharply falling.
