internet speed depends on the service provider. if you are talking about downloading using P2P at higher rates, make sure your upload and download limits are maximized.\n\ncomputer speed depends on your processor, memory and even hard disk drive for data retrieval and storage. so, you can buy more memory or increase processor speed

All those other answers are nice, but the reality is that you need to post more information.\n\nWhat kind of computer do you have?\n    Include CPU type/speed\n    Include RAM type/speed\nThose are the basics, I am assuming you are just dealing with a normal everyday surfers problem, so I will move on, but it can get deep into the motherboard, hard drive and vid card if you are talking about intense interaction over the net.\n\nAlso include the type of connection you have Dialup, Cable, DSL or one of the others.\n\nWith that info someone might be able to guide you, with just what you gave us we are just guessing at best.\n\nJohn B.

Be patient and do the following steps, it will definitely speed up your system:\n\n1. Run Disk clean-up. Then delete unused files. (start>program>accessories>sys... tools> disk clean-up)\n2. Check for disk errors. (right click on a disk-drive>properties>tools >error checking, then restart)\n3. Run disk defragmenter.\n4. Delete cookies. (you can do it from your browser options: tools>internet options)\n5. Delete cache or temporary files. (you can do it from your browser options) or, click on 'start", 'run', type 'temp' then click ok. Whatever shows up, just delete.\n6. Delete all history files. (you can do it from your browser options, or, CTRL + H, then delete)\n7. Empty recycle bin.\n8. Delete unused icons & short-cuts from anywhere including desktop.\n9. Uninstall any software or game that you use only once or twice in a week.\n10. Delete temporary internet files. (you can do it from your browser options: tools>internet options)\n11. Delete all recent files. (click on start, click run, then type "recent", delete all the files which show up)\n12. Run a full virus scan. If any threat found, eliminate that completely.\n13. Run a software which can remove any spyware or adware.\nLike: Ad Aware, Windows defender etc.\n14. Click Start > Run and type "msconfig" at the prompt. Click the Startup tab and look at all that junk that loads when you launch your PC. Turn off anything else that looks useless, but be careful not to disable Windows system components.\n\nIf you did these all at the same time, restart your computer. All these to be done once in a week if possible, depending on the frequency of use of your PC.\n\n* Updating: (Needed only when updates are available)\n15. Update your Windows by installing latest updates.\n16. Update your audio & video drivers.\n17. Update softwares, browsers, games that you use.

There isn't much you can do, aside from "caching" content but that won't help you at all on webpages that have not been viewed or have changed since the last time you viewed them.\n\nSince Windows XP, you can actually add a second modem to your computer and, provided that you have a second phone line and that your ISP allows it, simultaneously dial-up a second connection, thus do what we call "shotgunning" your connection or effectively doubling the transfer rates.

You didn't say how old your computer is or what kind it is, or what hardware you're using, or what operating system you run, so not much to go on. Is it always slow, or at certain times, e.g. during disk access, or only on the internet, etc. Not much to go on here.\n\nIf you're on dial-up service, then DSL or cable will speed up the internet more than anything else.\n\nIf you are running Win XP, and have less than 512 MB of memory, then the quickest, easiest, and cheapest performance boost you can get for your computer is to boost the memory to 512 MB. That will cost you about $70.\n\nIf you upgrade, take the memory chip with you to buy another one of the same type, but bigger size.\n\nTo check how much memory you have in your computer, click on Start, then  open the Control Panel. Now click on  Performance & Maintenance, then click on System. That will open the System Properties window.\n\nIf the General tab is open, look toward the bottom, and it will tell you which processor (CPU) you are running, whether Intel or AMD and particularly note the "speed" of the processor (200 MHz, 500 MHz, 800 MHz, 1.5 GHz or whatever), then after that is the amount of RAM (Random Access Memory) installed on the motherboard. \n\n200 MHz = two hundred MegaHertz, measured in cycles per second. This is a really slow and old computer and not worth upgrading, and probably still running Win 98 or less. It would be too slow to install Win XP.\n\nIt usually takes a 500 MHz CPU or faster to run XP. \n\nI have a second computer that I've dedicated to the internet, that I'm typing on now, and it runs at 1 GHz with only 380 MB of memory, and does just fine. \n\nYou might want to buy just one 256 MB chip first, and install with what you are currently running, to see how it does. It may be all you need, and you can always add another 256 MB chip later.

One way, to make your computer faster, is to add more memory..It is not very expensive, and it will help your computer run better..You can never have to much memory..I hope this will help you..

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.

Your internet speed is primarily a function of the quality of your connection and the speed of your computer.  However, there are some tweaks that might speed things up a little bit.  Go to http://www.dslreports.com and click on the "tools" link.  They have a test program that will help you test your configuation and suggest ways to optimize your computer for the Internet.

In term of speed to be honest, there is not much you can do, stop using those program like email client, stop updating antivirus software or spyware remove program when browsing the web. \n:)

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.

Yes, it may help.\n\nI recommend you read the informative and step by step article provided my Microsoft.\n\n4 Ways to Speed Up Your Computer's Performance\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/atwork/getstarted/speed.mspx

set the NIC speed to a lower number on the computer you wish to b/w limit ... understand that the bandwidth you get from your internet provider is (under ideal conditions) 5Mb up and 5 Mb down (reality is more like >400Kb up and 5Mb down) ...  unless you are downloading huge files, you wont really impact each other... its unlikely that you will see much difference in performance unless you are using some really antiquated junk
