My DSL internet is been going slow (like 56k speed) since 2 weeks ago (today is 09-26-02), and I dont know what is worng. It used to d/l at speeds of around 80-100 kb/s max, now its at 6-8 kb/s. I applies a registry patch, and used the optamiser they have on www.speedguide.net . And I still cant get it to go. Here are the Specs,

well have you tried calling the dsl hotline thing at the sbc hotline thing and the hotline thing?

1. Those $&#! hotlines take 30 min just to accept your call, and by then you forgot your problem

2. Since all the parts are made of different companys, they all blame it on each other.

3. I dont call them anymore, some guy came in and said, "ok, all fixed" and it went slower than ever.

4. Sympatico (its canadian, SBC is american) doesnt do crap ass!

I can tell because of your lack of caps and apostrophes, and the mispellings.
