You are lucky that you get that high of a connect speed. When I had dial-up, up until about a year and a half ago, I connected at 32 or 33 Kbps.

You can't expect dial-up to load web pages quickly. Dial-up is slow, and there is no way of getting around that, except going broadband.

I was reading in Pc world the shorter the line from the wall jack to the modem the better(it says that you lose bandwidth with a longer line)and also maybe one of the phone connections in the house might be loose,also what ddp said

There are other options...

DSL if carried in your area?
Direct TV has sattilite internet. That works anywhere! :-)

Cheers
