ISP is internet service provider which is the company that provides the servirce.
it you have dsl or cable that speed that you told me is VERY slow. verizon runs at around 1.8mb/s even thou they advertise 3.0mb/s cable is a lil faster then that
just so u know that a dial up modem works at 58 kb/s
DangerNerd answered Sunday September 11 2005, 2:08 pm: Hello there,
The modem is reporting the speed at which the computer is communicating to the modem itself... Not how fast it is talking to the internet provider you use.
To make it show the more useful numbers, open a terminal program such as hyperterm for windows and paste this in:
AT&FS95=1&W
... then press enter.
That will change the modem's configuration file and store the change so that it will, from then on, show you the right speed.
