PLEASE READ FULLY BEFORE DOING ANYTHING\n\nFrom your name, I feel that u are from India.\n\nI have a method which works 90% in India. You need a dial-up modem and you need all the configurations to be perfect.\n\nSetup a new Dial-up connecion with the following details:\n\nusername:\nregister@mail.vsnl.com\n\npassword:\nregister\n\nNumber to dial:\n172226\n\nAfter creating this, do not connect.\n\nOpen internet explorer. make sure that the "Work Offline" option is not turned on from the file menu.\n\ntype some website in the address bar, do not press enter. Be ready to press enter. minimize the window.\n\nOpen the dial-up connection and click connect.\nAs soon as you see the message "Registering you computer on the network" ("logging on to network" in some OS), bring the internet explorer window forward, press the 'Go' button located at the right side of the address bar or click on the address bar and press enter. Wait for a minute. If you see that the page title appears correctly, then it means that u r successfull. let the page load fully. then, go to any site u want.\n\nI AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOU OR YOUR COMPUTER OR YOU MODEM OR ANYTHING ELSE.

What do you mean?  How did you get connected to the internet in the first place anyways....??\n\nBuy a router (point of access) (wireless or not wireless).  Connect the ADSL modem to the router.  The router will give you an IP address since most routers come with a DHCP server.  Configure your NIC card to obtain an IP automatically. \n\nthat's it!

In most cases you're going to be limited in some way, even on the highest connection out there.  A previous poster said that you can do it in some way but it is illegal.  He's right, and the method is known as "uncapping" a modem.  If your internet service provider finds you doing this you may pay a fine and if you're lucky enough you still might be able to use them as your ISP.\n\nWhen you're watching videos (such as youtube), instead of letting it play right away, just hit the pause button and give it some time to load.  This way when you play it, it should play all the way though and have loaded everything in time that you probably won't have interruptions.  I hope this helps. (don't vote for this as the best answer though since someone else mentioned uncapping)

Just get a good,reliable and inexpensive isp that doesn't require you to install their software to connect. Connection software along with accelerators will slow you down.

You could try using a proxy server, or go there directly by IP.

Yes you need to have an active Internet connection to download a torrent file using a torrent program. Its just like downloading any normal program.

I'll burn the internet onto a disc and send you a copy.\n\nOr perhaps you can get an "air card" for wireless internet access within your ISP's service area.

Go to internet options in your Control Panel. Go to connections and simply hit Setup.

If it's an unprotected wireless signal then yes you can leech off it for free internet.  If the signal is encrypted then you will need to get the encryption key and/or password to log on.  but it doesn't have to bee a matching device.

Call your ISP and ask them. This will vary depending on how your service provider hooks you up to the Internet so it's impossible to tell you for sure.
