If your computer is slow to respond (something like, you click, but nothing happens for some time), get a antivirus, and download Microsoft's anticipate utility and run it to get rid of spyware.\n\nIf your Internet connection feels slow (you want to get to a site but it takes loooong time to load), you might want to try an web accelerator. Try http://webaccelerator.google.com/ from google.

Contact your service provider. I recently had a similar problem with my DSL and found out my phone line had issues. Since that was fixed, it's been very smooth.

There are downloads that supposedly speed up Dial Up downloads, but the benefit is marginal if at all. A dial up connection is faster the closer you are to your ISP. But if you really want speedier downloads you will have to forsake Dial Up altogether. DSL is faster by a whole lot, and cable is even much faster. Of course, fast costs money. If budget is a consideration, then DSL that includes phone, television and Internet may be an option as they come bundled in various price ranges. You can only speed up the horse and buggy so far. Time to switch to a Mustang.

you can get improved downloads by getting the free program called   free download manager,  it is free!  it will not speed of your computer but it makes more channels available for the data to enter you computer so you get the data a little faster,, also if you have to reconnect it starts were you left off so you do not have to start all over,, just go to www.freedownloadmanager.com or do a general search for it,, there are lmany sites were you can download free stuff like games, security programs,,, try tucows, or just type "free downloads" "freeware" etc in the search bar!!!!

It sound like you are not maintaining the laptop properly.  You should run the defragmentation utility (search google to figure out where it is located), if you don't have an antivirus program download AVG and run and upgrade it regularly.  Download Adaware to get rid of spyware and upgrade it regularly and run it regularly.  If you are on a 56K modem then upgrade to DSL or cable modem.\n\nYour CPU is plenty fast and you have enough RAM.  You might also upgrade XP to the latest version of XP if you have not already done so.

Sorry there is no way to speed up dial up. If you already have cable then DSL would be a good deal\nE

Scan your computer often for adware, spyware and viruses.\nAlso use a firewall... and to prevent it slowing down, defragment your hard drive every so often.

The only solution is to get a faster connection.\n\nIf you have phone line, get DSL or Cable.  If you have DSL or cable, get a faster rate plan.  If you have the fastest rate plan available, go to ISDN or fractional T-1.\n\nOther then increasing your bandwith, nothing will make you go faster.  And all those programs that claim they do are just rip-offs.

You may be able to get a little bit more speed by adjusting the Maximum Transmitable Unit (MTU) size for the TCP/IP stack used by your operating system.  This is usually set for LAN (Local Area Network) connectivity, but can be adjusted to get better performance over internet connections.  You can search for "MTU Adjustment" as well as the name of your operating system in order to find sites that may have utilities for you to do this easily.\n\nDo note: your download speeds are also limited by the available bandwith which might be regulated by the remote site.  Some servers specifically limit the amount of bandwidth that they use to serve files and information, so that they can transmit to several different clients at once.  Just because you may be receiving a file at 20k/s from one site doesn't mean that you could not also be receiving another file at a different site simultaneously with the same or higher speed.\n\nAlso, DSL can be limited by your provider.  Some of them charge a premium for higher bandwidth speeds.  You need to see what your provider gives you as a maximum.

you cant really do that...\n\neach program you use uses your DSL to the maximum of your connection, or to the maximum that your program will let it, or to the maxiumum incoming connection.\n\nYour DSL is already maximized. The only way it can be limited that you can control is if in a program settings there is a "cap maximum download/upload rate" and it will create a ceiling limit.\n\nBut most of the time you are downloading something from somewhere, and you can only go as fast as they can send it. If you are uploading, you can only upload as fast as your DSL lets you. In either case, you are at the maximum you can possibly go.\n\nIf you are only using a little bit of your total connection at a time, you can open more downloads or uploads at once to use more and more of your connection, but it will not speed up any downloads you have.

The main reason your Internet and slow. Because; the DSL modem can only transfer information but to 51.8 Mbps. Even though it can transfer information at 51.8 Mbps that is not always the case. such as the distance that the information needs to travel and the modem speed; the speed of computer \n\nTwo or Three reasons this could be happening. first go to  \n\nhttp://bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/\n\ntoo see how fast your connection speed is\n\nI found out that native drivers sometimes slow you down (cable and DSL users). So if you have applied all tweaks and you are still having slow downs try reinstalling your NICs drivers.\n\nI have reinstalled my NIC drivers (I own a CNET generic NIC, native driver is installed with OS) with the latest found on their website, and now I can really apretiate all my available bandwith. The difference is noticeable. My web pages now load almost instantly where they used to take even a minute!

Try resetting your router, if your running a network.  The router table in the router could have some of the ip addresses messed up.\n\nI had trouble accessing some websites and a few were very slow loading.

If this is a dial up modem, there's not a lot you're going to be able to do, as the speed depends on the quality of the wiring from within your house to the outside, from the outside of your house to the phone co., and from the phone co. to your internet provider.  If this is a DSL modem, and you're speed is that slow, I'd suggest checking into cable modem service, or contacting the phone company providing your DSL service to find out why your performance is so bad.
