good day I'm emjay, this is my first post on any of your forum, i'm a computer addict i admit but to be honest i'm still on a lot of things that questionably on my mind, one of which is the on my modem.

I'm on aol internet provider but the line that i'm using is bt telephone line, i subscribe a 2 gig internet connection, my question is:

1. what should be the expected connection should i get?
2. what do you mean by tx and rx on my modem?there are two arrows which shows tx=288 and rx=which is 2274.
3. I run my pc specs as:

pentium 4, 2.4 gig, 768 of ram dell dimensions 2400

If AOL is providing you a 2G setup, we need to talk.... :tazz:

If you meant 2Mbps, your DSL connection spd should be 1-2Mb (down) & 200-256 (upstream). In your case, you are getting 2274Mbps down & 228 up. Not too shabby, mate.

P2E

If you are getting broadband from AOL (you have my condolences) & your speeds are likely fine - no need to torture yourself and call.

If your are getting your b/b from another ISP (BT?), dump AOL (& you have my congratulations), bug bomb your computer, wash your hands & enjoy. :tazz:

Thats it mate.
