is there any way to make my connection speed faster?

- come near to your access point or wireless route\n- Buy a new wireless access point or route has stronger signal\n- Buy wireless boost device\n- Buy more access points and routes

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.

You have a couple of options for faster upload.  You can get SDSL or Synchronous DSL which runs at the same upload speed as download.  It could potentially be available in 1+ MBPS speeds compared to the 128-384k you are probably getting.\n\nHowever, to achieve the absolutely best dedicated connection straight out on to the internet backbone, a T-1 or higher circuit is always the way to go.  \n\nYou can use the following website to check availability of both of those services at your location.  It will tell you with over 99% accuracy.\n\nhttp://www.metrot1.com/business

Try going to dslreports.com and running the tweak test, if it says everything is running okay then well; if you have the splitters on your phone jacks for phone and DSL at the same time try taking those off, rerunning your phone lines with a solid wire like cat5e, replacing your ethernet cable from the modem to your computer, replacing the nic card, or if you are using usb, switch to ethernet, if its wireless, switch to ethernet :). There is a lot of things you could do to help a connection speed...\n\nAnd no person above me, cable will decrease speed when more users are on, not DSL, why its a Digital Subscriber Line. DSL will see a speed decrease with distance from the transmitter..

You cannot make the network operate at the old fashioned slower speed.   The modem speed and connection speed cannot be down shifted.\n\nWith some moderate computing coding effort, you could simulate the slower speed by writing a program that, within the PC, delays response time OR transmits characters (bytes) of information at a simulated slower rate.\n\nToday's connection speeds are fast but still very far from the fastest transmission speeds.   If you want to learn about how fast things can be transmitted, google the phrase "femto second".   The wires that are used in broadband have no inherent speed.   It is the box that you connect at the two ends of the connection that determine the transmission and receiving speeds.

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.

No but if you open the port it tells you too you can have direct downloads and have it go faster.

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.

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

There are dozens of programs available to automatically configure for faster internet access, even on a dail-up connection.\n\nTry Cablenut408. It's free & very easy to use - simply load the profile that fits your internet connection setup and OS type.\n\nDownload a copy from \nwww.cablenut.com\n\nAlso download Cablenut_Update file.\n\nGo & look under the internet category from any popular software download sites like C/Net Download.\n\nMost are Sharewares and some Freewares.\n\nGo to Keygen.us for serial/cracks for the shareware version.\n\nThe only thing that physically make your internet goes like the demon is Broadband connection!

Freeware only solutions?  Well, I have a couple, but if the settings or problems aren't there that normally cause the reason for slow-down in internet speeds, they won't do much in the end.\n\nFirst off, check for spyware and other software that uses up bandwidth.  Spybot S&D is my recommended choice for this.\n\nIf you want to mess with the various TCP/IP optimizations and possible DNS archiving, try looking through various Freeware downloads from PCWorld.com in their Downloads section.  Webcelerator is an example of such freeware software(released 2002).  If you are using older OSes like Win95 to WinME, it may add minor performance but nothing for certain.  I would not advise using such software on more recent OSes like XP, but thats out of inexperience with any changes they may have incorporated since I haven't bothered with those settings on XP myself yet.

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

I have 30 Mbit/sec FIOS, but I actually can get faster: http://img82.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nonwirelesstestmyspeedsdlsmall.jpg  The problem is that hardly any site will give me that kind of bandwidth.  I still only average 300-1000 KB/sec, when downloading files.  \n\nOh, and the answer to your question is that you're getting what you're paying for.  Pay a bit more, and you'll get ALOT more bandwidth.  For instance: http://www.fiberexperts.com/

In internet explorer, go to tools-> Internet Options.  Delete files and delete cookies.  That can help.  Otherwise, you may need to invest in a speed upgrade with your current or by finding a new ISP (Internet Service Provider).  Give your current one a call first though, to make sure the speed issue is not on their side.

There can be a couple of reasons.\n\nMay be connection is slow.\n\nCheck the TCP IP settings too!
