Default slow dial-up download transfer rates

HI!

I am running Windows XP version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519 :
Service Pack 2) on a Dell Dimension 2400 with an Inetl Celeron 2.20GHz and a
Broadcom v.92 56K modem.

I live in a rural area where DSL is not available. I can connect to my ISP
at 50.6 kbps usually, but file downloads frequently are in the 2 to 3 kbps
range yes, just 2 or 3 kbps, sometimes as low as 500 bps!) NO, I do not have
any spyware installed, and forcing the modem into lower speeds does not help.

Can anything be done to speed up file transfer downloads? Web pages
download just fine.
