How can i increase the speed of my dialup connection?

the speed of dial-up maxium you "allowed" to have is 52K (even though the modem can goes upto 56K - the speed is regulated by the government, so don't blame it to the modem manufactory for false advertise). The slowest time is during evening, if you can stay away from during those hours, and instead, using your computer late at night or during morning, whenever people are at work, so they don't share the same line with you (ume they're using dial-up too). But people nowaday is using DSL/Cable, even at the slowest DSL out there, which is more than 700Kb (14 times faster dial-up) and it doesn't cost that much (around $20 or so). Even for the cheapest dial-up, it would cost you $10/month, while DSL costs you a little more than twice, but 14 times faster. You'll be gladed you made the right choice/decision.
