worse upstream with adsl

[neteagle]

Hello,

I had a problem with getting connected to the internet. So after checking all the settings, i got the advice from the helpdesk of my provider to delete and re-install the "communications" part in windows98. So i did and i was able to connect to the internet again.

I have a so called "basic ADSL connection" with a downstream of 54 kb per second and normally an upstream of 12 kb per second. This worked fine for 1 1/2 year.
However after the re-installation of the "communications" part on my windows98 machine, the downstream is still 54 kb per second. But the upstream is almost none. It takes 20 minutes to send out an email with attachement of 50 KB (IF it ever leaves) and also with FTP it takes 20 minutes to send away 50 kb. So i have no upstream.

Anyone familiar with this problem? Please advice and thanks in advance for the help.

how much are you paying for that?

never heard of DSL being that slow.....your getting ripped off. i would call the phone company/ISP and make them come test your lines.

F.A.Q. :The lines do not need to be tested. I have also a winxp machine (which is not connected to the win98 machine) and that works great on that same line. BTW i live in Holland. Thanks for your suggestion:)

I get 480/250 on average. Theres definatly something wrong with your line, just try and call you ISP and get them to test it.
