Manny T., I opened an account with a small local ISP a couple years ago that was bought out by a larger ISP and recently acquired by Earthlink. Since this latest switch, I frequently find Earthlink restricting my data rate to something far less than (about half) what should be supported by the connection speed (typically 49,333 with my 56K modem). If I hang up and redial, full data rate is usually restored. I don't consider that a "solution" to poor service; it's just the way it is. You can monitor connections speeds and data rates for dial-ups using System Monitor. Dan
