The modem speed is a Nezeq line layout problem. F.ex. there is a certain
phone here that, when switched onto the modem line, bogs it down to 16800,
even if not off hook. It sometimes helps to complain to Nezeq about
hearing noises and other conversations on the line when you pick up the
phone. Don't mention the word 'modem'. They should come and take a look at
at the circuit insulation in your house box. If all is well, they fill
find a dead bug or some water (?) in it and you will get 33.6k after that.
Before you try this, disconnect everything but for the modem from that
phone line and try to call your ISP in the wee hours of the morning (4 AM
is fine). If that does not give 33.6, call Nezeq.
