i had the same problem, its your phone line. These days the apartment complex to minimize the cost of wiring, they opt for optical line. this is one optical fibre coming in your apartment complex and gets split into say about 400 lines. this is a cheaper solution but does not let your modem get any higher than 28.8 in most cases. Its some thing like goping through a PBX. <br />

Believe it, I moved to a DSL location for this reason. <br />

Modem needs speeding up...

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.
