What is the best Dial-Up internet service provider in the northern minnesota?

Regarding routers and internet speed?

• We have a Linksys wireless-G 2.4 GHz broadband router. At times we have 3 people online at the same time. Two play online peer games. At times, it seems more like dialup than high speed dsl (it's the highest offered in this area--over 700 (I think they said it was 900 ???). I'm getting pretty frustrated with the speed. It only seems to effect my speed, not the other two. My system has the router, etc hooked up to it. My system is clean -- recently reinstalled everything but the problem still occurs. I called my internet provider and they said that the the speed wasn't what it should be. They (Embarq/Century Link) had be open some tool online that measured the speed and it was only about half. I removed a filter device from the phone line (forgot to remove it when I cancelled telephone service) but it's still a quarter short of what it should be and the tech couldnt' figure out why. The company changed to Centuy Link so that tool is no longer available or at least I can't find it. Is there a better router that that will provide better speed/performance (this one is from our internet provider)?

• Answer:

  Your router is much faster than your internet connection. They've even told you it's not performing well.
