how can i improve my internet speed?

Question

i'm using dial up connection using serial modem on mobile... and it shows 230Kbps, but my internet speed is very low and also it gets ages to download files.

Answer 1

Clear your Temporary Internet files by clicking tools>Internet Options. In the general tab you will see "Temporary Internet Files". Click "Delete Files".

Answer 2

there are several things you can try. You can use Meta Products Download Express. It's free and cuts your download time in half, even over a modem. I no longer use a modem, but still use my Download Express and find it's just as helpful as when I used the modem.

If you are talking about the slowness of moving around the internet, get Google's Web Accelerator. This is free and will save you some time.

- Are you using a complex screensaver - it runs in the background and eats memory. I had fun with mine, then changed it to blank.
- How many programs do you load at startup? Maybe you should check it out and ensure you are running just what you need.
To do this: cl Start, cl Settings, cl Taskbar and Start Menu.
cl Start Menu, cl Customize, cl Remove.
cl the icon for the program you wish to remove
then cl Remove.
This will prevent the program from loading at startup, but will not remove the program from the hard disk.
1.Did you run an error check? Open My Computer,
Right-cl on C:, Select Properties, Tools – Run an Error Check ( checkmark “check all and fix); then run a Defrag

2.Are you using Yahoo Toolbar? Run a full Norton Antispy.

3.From IE, click Tools, Internet Options
delete cookies
delete files (offline files)
clear history (set days to save to 0 if you want)
click o.k., and Restart

3.click Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools – run Disk Cleanup

4.click Start, Run ipconfig renew (type ipconfig space renew)

All these things should be done regularly. The more frequently they are run, the less time they take.
-Note: Games and videos are mostly graphics. Graphics create large files. If this doesn’t help, you should consider getting more memory.

Answer 4

An internet connection can become slow or stop working due to a number of reasons depending on the type of the connection. Many of the problems can be solved by making software changes or small hardware corrections. Detailed instructions at http://tinyurl.com/yl62gz

Answer 5

The fastest connection you can get on dial-up is 56Kbps which is 7KBps (KBps is what shows during downloading). The best way would be to upgrade to Broadband (Cable, DSL, etc.). You can get programs that will improve your surfing speed by caching the web sites...I used to use one, but it caused problems with some sites.

Answer 6

it doesn't matter how fast your modem can go and most accelerators are just "prefetched" sites.
Your connection speed is what it is and usually will average around 48mbps, sometimes slower but rarely faster.....depends on several factors, time of day, which server your connected to, your bandwith, phoneline...etc.
The speed you are reading is the speed between the computer and the modem....not the connection.
If you want to truly see what you are connecting at you can search around for speed tests.

Answer 7

some very particular contacts that have progressed into actual existence friendships, my ultimate lady buddy and that i met right here over 6 years in the past now and we've maintained an prolonged distance friendship.

Answer 8

You could try downloading an eccelerator from your internet providers website if they have one.

Answer 9

use cable or dsl if you cannot afford still continue to use dial up 56k is really slow.

Answer 10

clear you files and see if that helps.
