Default Re: Dial Up Speed

It may be my PC but for some reason a local number gives me less drop offs than the tollfree number to my Actrix connection. zFree is OK though.

Try this test with each connection - get the IP address of the server you dial into, then do a ping - record the result in ms ,then try it with your other dial up straight after - ping is done via a dos prompt - type in ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where x is the ip address
