First i would call and see what I'm paying for Rusty .
Then i would ask for a new modem .
You can try cleaning out the cache . http://www.ehow.com/how_2293053_clear-cache-windows-xp.html#ixzz1SVPXta15
And reset the modem . what modem do you have ?
You could of gotten a hack that has you hooked up ass backwards , squirrels could be nibbling at the lines .
Could be hacked . [etc]. check with them first .
What is the name of your ISP ? I'll check them out for you . you still call though.

With AT&T, you have to buy a modem. We can't afford a new one right now.This one is about 5 years old. We have tried the reset. It may be the line coming in, if so I don't want the yard dug up. When I had a second line for dialup, they told me there was static in the system but we never could get them to fix it. I'll check out the cable company when they get it set up. They include a new modem in the monthly price.

try booting into safe mode with internet connectivity by hitting the F8 key, and run the speed test again .
See if the results are the same .
How much ram do you have ?

Darol, you are running at nearly the speed of light.

It's been a while since I had dial up, but I do remember it was kinda pokie. As slow as mine is, I'd imagine it's a rocket to yours. Yeah, it could be faster, but it does just fine.

Dial up??? ....I only wish. I'm still using a camp fire and blanket. (that's what it feels like at times.)
