I just switched from DSL to a fiber optic line.  Contact your phone company to see if they offer this.  If not, contact your cable provider -- in my area, the cable provider is the one who provides fiber optics.  You can also pay a higher monthly fee to get even faster fiber optics than the normal speed, which I don't need and didn't order.  I've been quite happy with the regular fiber optic line.  And it turned out to be cheaper than my DSL.

You can't. Only with "manageable" hubs, switches and routers can you set bandwidth limitations on individual workstations or laptops. It sucks, I know, because I have the same problem at my house. I was nice enough to allow a few neighbors in my apartment building share my DSL connection via wireless and this once fast connection I HAD is just like you said, dialup. Only thing I can suggest is that you ensure he's not using anything like a file sharing program (limewire or Kazaa etc.) to download songs and videos etc. That will KILL your internet connection speed.

This not a suitable answer but a suggestion. why don't you upgrade to Broadband Connection

You need boardband on you computer. it is hard on dialup. youneed at least 768 speed.

I searched for "free bandwidth test" on Yahoo! and this was the very first result:\n\nhttp://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/

There can be only one way to increase the download speed- get a faster internet connection. It can be cable or DSL or any other depending whats you current connection and whats avaialble in your area.\n\nSoftware like download managers just let you effectively use whatever bandwidth is available to you. They dont increase the bandwith.

Go through your cable company or get a wireless NIC and borrow a neighbors connection.

Go to your control panel and click on "internet options"

You can modify some settings on Group Policy to make it work:\n\n1.) Log on as Administrator.\n2.) Start - run - type gpedit.msc\n3.) Expand "local computer policy"\n4.) Expand "administrative templates"\n5.) Expand "network"\n6.) Highlight the "QoS Packet Scheduler"\n7.) On the right window double click "limit reservable bandwidth"\n8.) On the setting tab check "enabled"\n9.) Change "Bandwidth limit %" to 0 . That's it you're done. It would be a good idea to reboot to effect changes.\n\n\nYou can also try TCP Optimizer: http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php\n\nRemember also that animations/picures/videos do slow down the process of loading a website, so consider to use Firefox from Mozilla and install add-ons to block flash animations, which you can enable later once you are at the website you want to see. Also, Firefox let you load only images that are displayed from the original site, "hotlinks" of images from other sites are blocked.

I've used the online bandwidth speed checkers.  I cannot vouch for their reliability, but it does seem to work.  Check out these  source links or google "bandwidth tests"

Get a connection from some if the ISP's that the previous asnwerer has told you. \nIf you need to know how its done, google for DHCP.

Without paying more to your ISP? Let me know when you figure it out.

If you are using BT and you have QoS (Quality of Service) features on your router (e.g. Linksys), set the port to high priority and set the upload speed about 25 Kb under your BT Client and unlimited download speed.\n\nFor other P2P, it really depends the other end of peer computer speed, so you really don't have control for the "bandwidth throttle".

The way that I would go about doing it is to use a Winsock control to make HTTP Requests. Here is a tutorial that may point you in the right direction:\n\nhttp://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=334645
