    I would think the easiest way would be to disable your dialup connection

    go to

    Start>then Control Panel> Network Connections>
    you should be looking at a list or icon view of your connections
    right click the dialup one and select disable

    if you need to enable in the future same procedure

    does your broadband connection use a user name and password?

    what exactly is it that makes you think its reverting to dialup?

    most DSL connections require a user and pass
    try simply storing your account info next time your prompted

    just because your connection says its "dialing" dosent mean its a dialup connection speed

    fuck I hope that made sense ro somone besides me

    im on cable , make sure your connecting via ethernet if your connection speed is over 4mb coz if your connecting via usb you wont get a connection speed over 4mb,,,,,,,

    Dude...you could have a multitude of reasons why your connection is doing this. It could be hardware or software related. You may have a faulty NIC or have a bad modem. Are you connecting through a Router? Have you tried power cycling your modem? You could have Spyware that is jacking your shit up. Can you connect another computer to your modem and see if you are getting this issue. You will need to troubleshoot and begin to narrow down what is not the issue. This is the good old process of elimination.

    Maybe your connection just sucks donkey dick.

    That's my two cents. Enjoy
