I'm told that if you and your target system live within 3 km of the
exchange, you can get some really rotten connections.

I get lame connections when I call my ISP in Albany from Albany (within 4
km, 14400 to 21600 usually) but excellent connections from home (50 km,
always 28800).

Maybe your ISP has their modem's fault detection/correction set differently
to the BBS.
