With a 28.8Kbps modem. There is not a whole lot you can do to improve your download speed. Think about it this way it will take you 5-6 minutes to download 1MB of data. Therefore, if you are trying to download a file larger than that your download time will be equal to 5 Minutes * NumberOfMegaBytes. A person in this situation has two options.

#1 Download small files.

#2 Get broadband.

Hope this helps.
