My connection seems slow

This can be due to phone line quality, a malfunctioning modem, and the amount of traffic on the Internet. As a precaution, check to see that the phone line you are using is in good quality(no tears, kinks, or broken wires). Check with your computer's support center for configuration and latest driver updates for your modem. The following procedures should help your connection speed.
