I have also recently ran into a problem, with a drop in my dial-up connection speed. The computer I have been using, usually has a connection speed of 45 to 49.2kbps. I have Win XP Home Editon as my OS. Well recently I updated it to the service pack 2 level.

As soon as this was done I could only connect at 28.8kbps. I've checked the line with another computer which isn't mine and got 49.2kbps.

I reinstalled Win XP home SP1 and the connection speed went back to 45 to 49.2. It's only after I update that something weird happens to my modem.

Is there some protocal Win XP SP2 is usng that is causing the modem to only log on at 28.8kbps? If so how can I change this, so I can again get the old speed back?
