Modem

[ktovung]

I'm using a usb frontech modem(VD56US) with winXP in my pc, the modem speed varies from around 40kbps to 45.2kbps.But in my office PC I'm using an external D-link modem DFM-562E(V.92 56000bps) and the speed is about 115 kbps. Is it bec' of the modem or phone line that I'm getting this difference in speed? Will I get faster speed if I use the D-Link modem in my pc? If so can any one recommend a better modem.

Check if the Office internet connection is faster than what you have in your home. But I wonder if the D Link modem can only manage 56kbps, how can the speed be 115kbps in office ?

A phone line on dial up connection can at the max give 56 kbps.
The 115 may be configured but won't be possible in reality I guess.

Also if you are getting 40 kbps..you phone line is in good state. Sometimes due to moisture or other disturbances the negotiated speed could be just 20 to 30 kbps.

why not go for the broadband option its so cheap now a days ..if u do occasional web surfing 250/- plan will serve u better...and i think it will be cheaper than what u are using now ...
