Can anyone tell me how to increase dial-up speed more effectively?

there are 3rd party dial up providers that offer software that helps compress the data flow so as to make it seem faster. a lot actually depends on the quality of your cooper telephone lines and the equipment that is being used by the phone company.  In some areas i can get up to 53kbs, but in a town  a few miles down the road, the best i can do is 23.

Find out if your local ISP supports Muti-Link accounts. If not,let them know that they can have a market from those without the access to broadband for better connection speeds over rural areas. This is how to setup a home PC and/or network with two modems and a phone. This can increase the speed of dial-up users in remote areas.It requires a minimum of Windows 98 or above, two phone lines, one dial-up connection with two logs-ins allowed. \n\n\n\n\nSteps --\n\nAlmost all computers come with one modem installed. It is best to have matching modems for the best connection speed. This means you will have to get another using a version of Windows or Linux. I have connected at a steady rate of 64K with two Rockwell based 56K modems, at a distance of about 25 miles from a local town. You will also need two separate phone lines for each modem. I am including a list of steps to take to set it up, and dial away. \n\nUnder the Windows Xp version I have tested, I use the dial-up creation dialog. \n\nClick next, and it will ask for what network type. Just leave it at the default setting (connect to the internet). \n\nClick next, and you can choose the type of service you would like to use. I chose to setup my account manually, and that works under both Windows and Linux. \n\nClick next and select connect using dial-up modem. \n\nClick the next button, give the dial-up connection a name which can be anything you care to name it. \n\nClick next, and enter the telephone number needed to access the net. Make sure that it's not a long distance number or toll charges will mount pretty quickly. \n\nClick next and enter the user name and password, which will be used for logging in to their server. Most any service provider uses PAP or CHAP authentication, though you may have to manually setup the primary and secondary IP addresses again depending on the type of service they are willing to provide. \n\nClick next and make sure that the check boxes are setup the way you want them to stay. I chose to allow anyone dial-up access on the computer. \n\nWith a family living in a rural area, it can take over TV time and sometimes make it hard to have time when sharing just one computer. \n\nThe last step in the dialog process is to create it. You can also put a check in the box to have windows create an icon to launch it from the desktop. \n\nMake sure both phones are clear in tone with no noticeable static or wavering noises. \n\nConnect the phone lines to each phone line junction box. Click finish.Now we are ready to edit the dialog for a specific setting. I chose to create an icon to place on the task bar under the quick start menu. \n\nDouble click on the name of the icon created for your connection. You will default to the general tabbed window of another dialog box, it is here that we want to change some settings. \n\nSince I have two computers I have hooked them up using CAT5 cable through a 5 port Switch. Setting up a local address should be in the range of 192.168.0.1 through 192.168.0.10. Although it is a very long subject, each network card should have its own IP address. \n\nNow click on the properties button on the connection dialog. Click on the networking tab in the dialog box and click on the settings button right below the "Type of Dial-up" settings. Another smaller dialog box will appear with three check boxes. Only two should be set and they are: \n\nEnable software compression, and negotiating multi-link for single dial-up. Leave "enable LCP extension" alone unless required by your particular service. \n\nClick the ok button, and if needed now you can setup whatever IP address is used for your connection. Some are best left as default unless you need to setup a separate DNS number such as a static IP address on your local internet service. \n\nUnder the advanced tab of this dialog, you must setup one computer for the gateway dial out. This is the one with the two modems. With the phones connected to the modems g

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.

1. Check up the distance between your location and the \nservice provider.  You will get the maximum speed if it \nwithin 3 to 3.5 KMs.  the copper connectivity should be pacca and the ohmic value must be within limits(600 ohms is\nstandard one)\n    2. Increase the RAM value in your computer.\n    3. Try and compare at non-busy hour, because it works\non sharing system.

yes anything is faster than dialup.  i think comcast cable is the best then yahoo dsl

I think you should try this software called "Tweak-XP", this is a very good software to optimize your computer, tuning your computer run faster, also increase the internet speed.

There are wireless routers that give a speed boost to the signal. They take the information and pump it through faster than a normal signal. You could also put some signal extensions on the router so that it throws the signal further. These are all suggestions that would help you out, I think. You can also upgrade your internet service to something fater, too. I guess we would need more information before we can accurately determine what will help you best.

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.

Neither when it comes to dial up.   The connection speed of dial-up is limited by the bandwidth of phone lines.  Dial-up is very slow because most people use broadband now and web pages are very large.  This can cause what the other answerer said, a bottleneck affect, because the phone line gets clogged, thus long waits for a page to load.\nIf you find that you can go get a cup of coffee or use the restroom while a page loads, it is probably time to switch to DSL or broadband.

If you're talking about increasing speed, contact your DSL provider.

Sorry mate, though have to tell ya that there is no software that can improve your internet connection if you don't have a good connection in the first place. Looking at your situation, I'd say you'd have to settle with the expensive satellite or bear out with the dial up. However, if there is anyone living close to you guys and are experiencing the same problem, you may want to buy a router and share a satelite connection. This way, each of you will get the connection and pay half the cost.

Need a program that can chang a Proxy-Server on the world.\nThis will be transparent to you, then ramonly on the list the software will change a alternative proxy to suft every "X" minutes you assing. Please note that this will be slow if you have a Dial up connection.

Have you checked to see if broadband is available in your area? You can test it using the prequal link below.\n\nOtherwise you could install ISDN, however it usually only gives a marginal increase in speed, even if you pay the extra amount to order the two extra lines.

1. There is no algorithm to improve the speed of LAN.\n2. U can devise ur own methods to improve traffic on LAN.\n   a. Use gigabit ethernet (end of all issues)\n   b. Control ur traffic by identifying it's pattrens. Then introduce a seperate switch or VLAN for particular stations with heavy traffic.\n   c. If u r using a hub or coax on ur network ...u should better stop thinking about improving their speed they are as well as dead.

Unless you really know a lot about programming then there really isn't a whole lot you can do to "boost performance" on dial up. Sorry.

um i dont recomend doing it but it can be done you do understand how slow dialup is on one computer then devide that by half i think this site has something on how to do it tho\nhttp://bartman1.blogspot.com/

8kbps.\nBut, seriously folks...DSL is a dedicated "always-on" connection while dial-up requires that your computer place a phone call and ties up the phone line.  Best bet is to get DSL and hope that your phone company moves a switch closer to your home soon...
