New Computers & Modems
If you have a modem that frequently disconnects, you may be elgible for a free modem swap. Call the office for information.
Many newer computer systems are shipping with software based modems. These modems differ from a more traditional modem in that they use the electronics and CPU already in your computer to perform many functions. This has 3 main effects:
1) The modem costs significantly less to manufacture.
2) Your computer runs a bit slower when accessing the Internet.
3) If you have noisy phone line the connection may not be as solid (good) as with a more traditional fax/modem.
Always updating and installing the most current software drivers generally gives you a better connection but will not solve all problems. Call us if you suspect that your new computer is having trouble staying connected to us. We recommend spending a few extra dollars at the time of purchase to buy a high quality fax/modem that will handle our rural phone lines better.
We do have replacement modems available for tradeout.
