There is no software that you can download that will speed up your computer. You can defrag, go to tools at the top of IE and open, open internet options, and clean out your history, cookies, and files. You can go to My Computer open Driver C. Open properities and clean your system.
You can download an excellent free cleaner from http://www.ccleaner.com I use this cleaner that comes in many languages with defaults that you can reset yourself to clean only what you want.
Otherwise there is software that claims to speed up your internet connection or ADSL, but they don't perform as claimed. They are all rogue softwares.

Try this it worked for me. Plus its fast.
1. Click the start menu
2. Click Run
3. Type in msconfig and press "OK"
4. Click on Services top right, next to start up.
5. Click on "Hide all Microsoft Services" (Programs needed to run windows)
6. Click on "Disable all"
7. Now click on Startup (top right)
8. Disable All(Disabling all Stupid programs not needed to run windows.
9. Click Apply then close.
10. It will ask you to restart for changes to take effect. "RESTART" You will notice the difference as it boots. If no Difference. More than likely Hardware issues.

You can test your actual internet connection speed here and compare it to the connection speed tier that you are paying for.

If it is not close to the speed you are paying for, go and ***** and moan to your ISP!
Good luck.
