Now that my rebooting work PC problem has been solved, --see [EE] USB
devices resetting PC upon plug-in--  I have another question.

I bought a new laptop for home a few months ago.  My modem typically
connects to my ISP at 35-40 kbps.  However, maybe 10% of the time it
only connects at 20-26 kbps.  What kind of factors can cause this
radical variation in connection speed?  Is it possible that my ISP is
limiting my connection speed during times of peak activity?  I haven't
been able to detect a trend regarding time of day or weather.  Or static
electricity. :)

My old PC only ever connected at a max of 26 kbps.  Well, actually,
before moving from Columbus, OH to the country 5 years ago I had the
same modem in an even older PC and it would reliably connect in the 50
kbps range...

Good thing I have a fast connection available at work!
