A friend of mine lives in a very rural area and has been using dial-up for the last ten years,
with no problems other than slow.
Two weeks ago he signed for:
http://www.bamawisp.net/home.php
he can download pages but it some times pauses for about 20 seconds before the page loads.
So we checked his upload speed and it peaks from 4 to 10 with a download speed of about 151kbs.
which is low compared to my charter cable connection.
The big problem is now when he tries to get Windows Updates he gets this:

Went through all the Microsoft suggested fixes and nothing helps.
bamawisp.net seems to think it has to do with his low upload speed
and there trying figure out a way to increase it.
I was wondering if the low upload speed could really be the problem?
Any thoughts would would be appreciated.
