boywonder ;I made a few edits to the post & picture above.I opened my own NID which is slightly different than the one pictured.It is like mine is wired now.
The ATY11 only works on some modems.No big deal it doesn't work on mine either.
The other commands give more information that you can get good interpretations for.At least a lot of them.I will look for some more info on the I had already read the information in the link.
About the Surge Protecter I have connected to my modem without it & it didn't make any difference at least for me.So I use it for the protection it should have anyway.I haven't looked for one that isn't for electric too but I bet one is availabe for the Modem(phoneline) only
.
 A/D's on this loop
A/D conversion
Analog to Digital conversion
Multiple A/D Conversions prevent v.90 connections
The phone line going from the modem is analog until it terminates into the phone company's central office (CO) or digital
 loop carrier (DLC). If there is more than one analog to digital (A/D) conversion present on the line (see below), you will
not get v.90 connection speeds; instead, you will get v.34 connection speeds. 
More than one A/D conversion on the line can be attributable to:
Old equipment Some older switches may cause an additional analog to digital conversion.
Pads Pads may be used on the line to make voice communication the same volume both ends during a telephone conversation. An
analog pad introduces additional A/D conversion. There are also digital pads which do not affect the connection speed.
SLCs If your home (or office) is attached to the Telco Central Office (CO) using a non-integraded/universal DLC, also known
as an "SLC", you will have more than one analog to digital conversion. If, on the other hand, the SLC is directly integrated
into the digital telco switch, you should get a v.90 connection unless the options or timing are not correctly configured by
the Telco which would result in poor throughput and unreliable connections.

boywonder : Well how is it working? Mine is only about 30ft from the NID to the wall jack.Then about another 10ft to the Surge protector then 1 ft to Modem.Mines all CAT3 22 guage this is what I made the cable from the jack to surge protector from & the one from the surge protector to the modem too.So none of the cheap line that comes with telephones & modems.

chollla, sorry took so long to get back with you. New CAT5 line has made a such a difference I'm in shock last test shows

::::::::::.. Download Stats ..::::::::::
Connection is:: 55 Kbps about 0.1 Mbps (tested with 97 kB)
Download Speed is:: 7 kB/s
Tested From:: http://testmy.net (server1)
Test Time:: Wed Jan 25 2006 14:02:26 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time)
Bottom Line:: 1X faster than 56K 1MB download in 146.29 sec
Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 2.35 % of your hosts average (qwest.net)
Validation Link:: http://testmy.net/stats/id-0ZELAX185

Thats being connected at 45.2Kbps Duration 15min will do a few more to see if it wasnt a fluke



Sadly this is what I'm getting now, why such a speed difference?


::::::::::.. Download Stats ..::::::::::

cholla, It seems every now and then I receive a sudden boost in power. Have been running more test and I range from anywhere between 39 - 57 with 39 being my average sure would like it to stick with 57Kbps Very Happy

 boywonder :The higher speed is probably just less network congestion at the time.Do you clear your cache before each test?At your distance from the CO 39K is a pretty good average.Main thing with the new wiring how is web performance other than speed testing?

cholla, I clear my cache every time after test so not sure why it jumps like that other than network congestion like you said. Web performance as in loading pages and such I don't see any real improvement perhaps because I have tweaked it already before so?

t1wireless, Hi there glad you decided to take a look into Eskimo's free 2 week service. BTW you can call them up and reach a representative almost instantly no wait, if you have any questions.

Quote
i wrote eskimo about a dual 64 line and they asked if my line was compatable

Call your telco and ask if your telephone exchange is ISDN-compatible, if not then you cannot get it.
If your exchange is ISDN-compatible you must have an ISDN line in order to use ISDN. This line has a higher monthly rental cost than a normal  phone line, and of course, you must pay to have it installed. (however, one ISDN line contains 2 x 64k channels, each of which can be used for either regular voice telephone calls, or 64k internet access.)

Hope that answers your question about your line.

Now on to the Line test, Cholla knows more about this than I do and will be able to explain in more detail.


Modulation          : V.34 <~~~ eeeeek how do i change this? Broadxent V.92 DI3652-1 (COM3) is my modem.                         
Upload Speed        : 26400 BPS                               
Download Speed      : 26400 BPS

Loop information    : There are 2 or more A/D's on this loop

t1wireless, There could be many factors as in why your connecting with the V.34 instead of V.92
but I'll only name a few.
I'm sure you have but did you try out all of the local access numbers available to you?
Do you own a satellite? If so unplug the phone jack from the wall that's connected to your receiver. Cholla and I have both seen improvements doing so.
There are 2 or more A/D's on this loop Finnaly saved this for last for hoping it would'nt come down to it. There is really nothing you can do about it either I too have the same problem so you must live quite a long distance from your telco's CO. They say that if you have more than 1 A/D ( analog to digital) conversion V.90 and V.92 will not work. Although I still connect with the V.92 protocol. Also it may indicate a poor local loop which may prevent or result in poor 56k connections
See (http://help.expedient.com/dialup/slow_connection.shtml) for more info about multiple A/D conversions
If you went the ISDN route you shouldn't have to worry about the multiple A/D conversion for I believe its a digital to digital

 t1wireless :Modulation          : V.34  This is the modem going back because it can't connect at V.90 .Several things cause this.Have you read the sticky's in all dial-up?
ROM-DOS is better with tweaking XP but disabling the compression,Error control,& flow control slowed me down when I tried that so test both ways.Some modems even software internal modems work better with hardware flow control some don't you can try this .It may not connect this way if it does test.
My V.92 is a different brand but if the settings on yours let you turn off the V.92 features most ISP,s don't support this & this will help connect at V.90.
Your distance may be the limiting factor.
You can try these 2 settings in your modems "Extra settings"( I haven't searched for your specific modem so they may not help try the one at a time.):
S36=7   Attempt V.42 Alternate Protocol (MNP 2-4 compatible). Fall back to standard asynchronous (direct mode) connection with automatic speed buffering (ASB
S91=15     Set the transmit level in -dBm  Range: 0 - 15 (-dBm)
I haven't done modem"shotgunning" with 56k modems or ISDN so I don't know .
If you know where your modem settings are in your registry post them.
Set the Maximum modem speed at 115200 or 230400 if you have it.It won't connect at this speed but it tells the modem to attempt to connect at maximum speed too.Also you usually need W2 or W3 in the main modem init string so it reports DCE connect speed.

well i found the Extra initialization command i needed to shut off v.92 and when i run that line test i now get v.42 instead of v.34, first time connecting after running line test is 28.8 instead of 26.4 so maybe things are looking up  :haha: prolly not that much of a diffrents but imma try some rvs see if i can keep a steady 200 ping like back awhile ago. Thanks for ur help cholla.

 t1wireless ;On mine I have a V92 icon you just right click it & turn off the V92.Thats just the software for this modem that installs it this way.As you found there are extra initilization commands to do this in some modems.
Do you have XP?
I'm not sure where to find the Modem init string in the XP registry.
In ME,98SE &98 its here: HKLM/system/current control set/services/class/modem/000
select the init key this is my main modem string.
This is the string to add W3 or W2 to.
The extra settings & driver settings are in the Settings\init key.
This is the way my modem string is in the registry:
AT&FE0&C1&D2&K4%N9V1W3S0=0<cr> main
ATS7=60S30=0M0\N3%C3&K4B0N1X4    driver & Windows set settings
  ATS91=15S10=50S25=100S11=50    Extra settings string (It doesn't have the "AT" in the extra settings window but shows it this way in the registry)
Did you try the other settings I suggested?

t1wireless : Interesting the s91=15 was in the s-register commands for your modem It may not have been compatable with your ISP.Heres some more information that may be helpful.The ATcommand link is long almost tmi but very complete.
+ms=11,0 disable V.92 the setting I found had small letters & it looks like the
 s register commands  should use small letters too.
 This is your chipset:  DI3652   Digicom Internal Modem  Specially this: ESS
This is a link to the AT & s-register commands for this modem.
