Double N:

@lynxnoonok ok i have unistalled my internet download accelerator and i am using iDM. My Speed is not impressive and as otoidea rightly said is it because i am using the[b] USB[/b] stuff?

(trust ur good ol' NEPA )

Please can someone [img][/img]here help in solving this problem. Just hooked up on Izap yesterday and couldn't get izap display working properly cause of this error (see attachment).

The guys at starcomms tried to no avail so they created a dial up network alternative to access the web. Thou yet to be activated more than 20 hours later.

What is failing the modem initialization. Possible causes and remedy will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

(i can see u r using vista so lets not complicate tins because dis vista sef )

eleven:

Initialization usually ocurs when d software is trying identify n "boot" d modem
so if its failiing that mins:
----- d modem is not wel connected
or
----- d port allocated for it is not used
or
----- u shutdown witout disconnecting first
etc
wel go tru d options n restart u system if that doesnt wok reinstall d software (that is if u know ur way around it oh! ) or just tk it bak to dia office 4 them to clarify it for u ^{(i can see u r using vista so lets not complicate tins because this vista sef )}
Anyways tk kia n i hope this helps
cheers

Thanks my man, I have tried un-installing and reinstalling, still the problem persist. I suspect the port thing but my problem is how to locate the allocated port.

On the modem i see port 12 and can change the port number provided i can find the right port number allocated it. The guys at starcomms here couldn't fix it but i know Nairaland will and that is why i accepted it.

My connection has been activated yesterday through the dial up link but i want to fully maximize the izap function for calls, sms etc. The speed here in Aba is fair for a CDMA 1X town.

wait are u in evdo coverge
and how long did it take before they activated it

I'll look for someone with the express card stuff and test it or better yet go their Office and have a shouting match.I Still have the feeling that the bandwidth on my Modem is Rate Limited!

lynxnoon:



-------- but com oh y r most of ur downloads failing? y not use a good download manager like IDM or DAP?

Double N:

@lynxnoon
Iv tried it,its not workin for me. I think the other modems i.e Aircard and the izap sleek are faster than this USB stuff that i am using. I mean how else can i explain why i just can't cross 50kbps!No matter the time of the day.

hayprof:

Guys are displaying impressive speeds Now-a-days. .

@1MB/s, Do u use The[b] EVDO data card[/b] ^{like mine?} or the iZap Express card ?

-talk!
