For the past five or six years, I have consistently been able to connect to AOL at 57600 bps. I have recently bought a new Dell Pentium 4 computer with Windows XP Professional and AOL 9.0 software. Unfortunately, it will only connect me at 24400 bps or slower. I have discussed this problem with the help services at both Dell and AOL, but they cannot come up with an answer, apart from suggesting that I move to broadband! Can you, or your readers, come up with any suggestions? Robin Gowing
Sorry, I don't have an answer. Does anyone?
I'd suggest trying one of the free or pay-as-you-go Internet connections to see what speed that gives. If it works at full speed, that tells you it's an AOL problem rather than a PC problem.
