With a dial up connection, what does download speed depend on? When I
connect in the first place I get a message that reads "Connected at 40
kbps or 24 kbps" or whatever number comes up. Why isn't this the same
all the time? And download speeds aren't even half that. And also the
speed starts out at say 10 kbps and quickly drops to 4 or 3. Would
someone tell me how a dialup connection works. Help!!
