I don;t  want to violate any rules of posting here So I hope if I have I will
be sent a  way to resolve the issue if it is not a hardware problem. Ever
since my family  and I have moved to Loveland Co from Southern California I have
not been able  to sign on at speeds greater than 49333. I have tried all of
aol fixes to no  avail. My Computer is basically a brand new Dell Dimension 8200
with all of  the high speed bells and whistels without going so overboard in
price as to  set off any govt alarms.  It is a v.90 modem and I was just
hopint to get  pointed in at least the right direction to begin signing on at
speeds  approaching 52k.

Hi,
  The speed you connect at is dependant on the phone lines  (mostly your
distance from the phone companies central office..i.e.  length of the wire, longer
wire = lower speed). When I used dial-up, I got  40-44K for  my speed. If
you're getting nearly 50K, then I wouldn't be  concerned, there's only about a 4%
difference between your present speed and  52K, not enough that you'd notice
the difference.

HTH,
Peter  Hogan
