Page 1 of Increase your *GAIN*

Just been told by my boss that recently he`s been having slow
internet connection speeds. He only gets a 28Kbps connection on a 56K Modem :`)

He was told by his ISP to call BT and have his GAIN increased from the Default
of 3 to 5 (6 is the highest, but can cause interferance problems). BT upped his GAIN to 5 and within an hour he was experiencing 44Kbps connection speeds!

I have done the same and witnessed a similar GAIN (No *PUN* intended, he he).

Follow these simple steps;

1. Call 151 from your BT phone
2. Tell BT that your ISP has recommended that you have your
GAIN increased from 3 to 5 (This is totally free of charge!)
3. They can inform you by text message when it has been increased.
4. Sit back and enjoy your increased BANDWIDTH ;-)

Lets see if anyone can beat an increase of 16Kbps.
T.G.C.M.O.O.T.

I had my gain increased on telewest... lucky that I don`t use the line for phone calls at all, because I was warned increased gain results in echo on the line... and does it! I phone telewest on the line only, because it`s free... and it`s flippin` awful.
I get 50666bps according to my system information. Before it was in the low 50000bpss`. Oops, I meant 50000, not 40000! ;)
I dunno if that`s much of a difference.
