My modem connection is slow
Many factors influence modem connection speed, including telephone

properly to other PC-based modems, fax machines, or your Internet
Service Provider, check the following:
❑
Have your phone company check that your phone line is free from
any line noise.

If your problem is fax-related, check that there are no problems with
the fax machine you are calling and that it is compatible with fax
modems.

Provider, check that the ISP is not experiencing technical problems.

If you have a second phone line available, try connecting the modem
to that line.
