Vista with dial-up

Why is the loading time in Vista with dial-up so awfully slow?
WinME is much faster and I was hoping to improve on that.
Is there any way to speed Vista up?

Re: Vista with dial-up

No one uses dial-up. Dial-up, 56kbs is slow. Vista cannot make it any
faster. 56kbs translates into 7KB maximum, including overhead. At that
speed, you can barely keep up with someone typing. (Joking, of course.). You
really need to get DSL, at least. Dial-up costs about $10 a month. DSL is as
low as $20.

Loading time of what? AOL? The operating system? Please clarify so we can
help you.

Pages in what browser? *Please* provide full details of what you're using
with specifics in your next post. Remember that we cannot see your computer
from here so you need to be specific. We still don't know what you are
using for Internet access (aside from that you're using dialup) - AOL,
Earthlink, Juno, etc. We still don't know what browser you're using or if
you have special software to access the Internet (as with Earthlink, AOL,
or Juno for example). We still don't know what you've done to troubleshoot,
if anything. If using IE7, have you tried with Firefox? If using AOL, have
you tried with IE7? Etc.

Without more details from you, any answers you may get will simply be based
on guesses and that is not very useful for you.
