I have a similar, but not the same problem. 

Since installing WinXP daytime connections to one of my ISPs 
is max at 33 Kbps, but night-time are OK at 56 Kbps. 
My ISP tells me it is probably the modem init string, 
but I doubt this as my connections to another ISP 
is always successful at 56 Kbps day and night; 
and the init string is issued before the dialling starts 
(as I understand it).

Have you had a resolution to your problem, which might help me
with mine?

Regards

Garth Skelton
