my internet (dial-up) connection speed was 52kbps and i was satisfied with it.
but then suddenly it drops to 46kbps without any reason i can think of.
the speed always stays the same no matter how many times I re-connect...

the first time it happen, i was only installing windows update and there's
NO other program being installed.

can anyone help me with this? I did run full system scan with norton 2004
and found nothing.
 
This is almost certainly due to a problem with your telephone line or a
device that's recently been added to it. There's nothing you can do in
Windows to make the modem connect faster than the line will support.

Remove it and see what happens to your connection speed.
