Just curious, what ISP are you using?
You'll love the DSL when you get and will never go back to dial up. Dial up is so primitive. |

Allagator - Telephone companies are only required by law to provide a 9600 baud analog connection, so even if your line is unusable for internet dial up it may be good enough that they don't have to fix it. Depending on your modem's chipset, you can actually run a line test with it using a terminal program to find out what's the actual bandwidth of your line.
There could have been a routing change by the telco that introduced more noise to the connection. There are ways to diagnose that if you're interested.
If you're having difficulty dialing up then you will probably have trouble with DSL installation too. Telcos only run a rudimentary line test (MLT) to check for shorts, opens, or devices that they call disqualifiers (primarily bridge taps and load coils). If they find a problem they can either fix it or assign you another pair of wires if there are any spares available.
In my experience (I did DSL support for an ISP) it's always best to go with the telco and not a 3rd party ISP. You get much better service that way. Especially with telephone line issues.
Odds are that you can only get DSL through one carrier unless you live in a large metropolitan city. If you give me your area code and first 3 digits of your telephone number (exchange) I can tell you who has DSL equipment installed in your local switching station. |
