Sent Compression Ratio

I have a dialup ISP (dock.net or Jetlink). Since yesterday, when I click on the ISP icon to determine the status, the 'Sent' compression ratio is anywhere from 20-30% when it is normally in the low single digits. As a result, I can have as high as a 10:1 ratio between Sent and Received (always in the low single digits). I cannot access my Gmail without switching to an older HTML format. The onset of this problem was yesterday and hasn't self-corrected.

Any thoughts?
 
Sounds a bit loopy to me and it's hard to suggest trying another free dialup connection to see if the same problem occurs because I've no idea what the market is like in Canada; this is a UK site.

I've also no clue about the phone networks over there and it isn’t clear whether what you're referencing is related to the modems own compression or server side compression. Either way, it doesn't make sense that you have to "switch to an older HTML" format to load Gmail.

Compression can impact how fast HTML and uncompressed content reaches your computer, albeit only if it is server side and very much depending on what type of dialup modems the ISP use (v.92 does things differently from v.90, but this is all ancient tech now). However, it should not directly impede website loading.

If you can at least load a site then the only thing I can suggest is to try a different dialup provider, I’m sure even Canada must have some ‘local call rate’ semi-free options.
