    is there noise on the line?
    Is there a DACS box on your line which splits it.
    Is your modem set up properly? drivers?

    What modem are you using etc.
    More info is needed.

    Where abouts are you in Ireland

    How far are you away from your local exchange

    How many items do you have plugged into your line
    ie Fax Phone Modem

    What make is the modem.

    I would say that you are on a carrier line in which case you
    are b#ll#xed you wont be able to get Hi speed or DSL when the time comes.

    type of modem? - it says MDP3858-WE

    noise on the line? - no

    Is there a DACS box on your line which splits it? - i don't understand

    Is your modem set up properly? drivers? - it hasn't been touched since day one

    Where abouts are you in Ireland - outside Dungarvan, Co. Waterford

    How far are you away from your local exchange - 3 or 4 miles i think

    How many items do you have plugged into your line
    ie Fax Phone Modem - only the modem when i'm using it

    i hope this clears it some bit because it really is pissing me off

    Also might be worth checking what your port speed settings are, to do this goto control panel > modems >click on icon>highlight modem in question>goto its properties and check that the maximum port speed is set to something like 115200
