Hi, Bill

I'm on the east coast (NJ) and have the same problem with Bell Atlantic. I couldn't get more than 28.8k out of my 56k USR modem, no matter what ISP i used.
I didn't want to make my phone co. fix it because i was thinking about getting ISDN.
The only problem with ISDN is it gets a little expensive if you use it a lot and i do(phone co. charges + ISP + second ISP to backup the first + ISDN modem + installation fees, "cabling and wiring" and so on), although it's still a good option.
But now I found a couple of local ISPs that support "ShotGun" and will probably have Bell Atlantic fix my lines, because it's a hellovalot cheaper and almost the same speed :)

so it's not just you......there's a lot of people out there with the same problem - phone lines :)

and BTW, thanx - your post and guys answers helped me a lot.
