It helps to have your MTU fully optimized for broadband. all the info for analyzing and optimizing TCP/IP settings can be found at  Speedguide

depends on computer and connection speed to the internet

Well the above 2 answers good and enough for you. But in addition u can also set the firewall on.

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.

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.

Yes thats whats causing the problem. You cant just increase your bandwith. You need to contact your isp and pay them more for faster service. Or make sure there are no things downloading on your computers in your house.\n\nTry hitting pause and letting the show load for a few minutes (buffering) so that it wil play smoothly. THere should be a colored bar above the play bar that shows how much has loaded. Just hit play then a few seconds later hit pause. Come back in like five minutes.

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..

No.  You're at the mercy of the bandwidths that are being used at the time.   Sometimes there is more traffic which will make it slower and other times you are using it at a time when not that many people are on so it will be faster.\n\nHope that helps.

maybe if you got also a 10/100 faster switch to add to your router it might boost the speed enough....i have a linksys router and have not noticed much of a drop in speed

The speed depend on your ISP (Internet Service Provider)\nCheck with your ISP first about the speed

There is no way to increase the speed of a dial-up connection.  However there is software such as Net-Zero 3G "high-speed" which uses compression technology to make web pages load faster.  It will increase your browsing speed but will do nothing to increase download speeds.  Net-Zero 3G is $10 per month but if you're going to spend that you may as well get DSL and you can get cheap DSL for $15 per month.

im using throttle its really magnificent\nit makes ur dial-up speed like a ADSL(200 more)\ntry it from http://www.throttle.com

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

Nope, Connection speed shares when some computer is receiving or sending something. Like opening a website is Receiving and sending an e-mail is... sending.

Well it may not be your Speed where your at but actually could be the end users speed where you are downloading from. They may post that they have such great connection when it turns out to be a dial up connection. You can check on http://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/ and test your internet speed. If you noticed that you is fine than there isnt much you can it all depends on the end side.

Nope! The speed of your internet connection does!
