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.

You did not mention which area you have come from. What type of connection you are using. What computer do you own? and what environment you use internet in like some internet cafe or some office LAN etc.  I start with assuming that you have a standalone desktop computer and you connect to the internet through a Dial-up connection. First of all check you phone line, it must be a noise free line, you can check it by picking up the handset and dial a single digit from your keypad, listen carefully, there should be silence, no humb, no noise. If this is OK, check your modem is properly installed and is of a good make, some modems dont match to your ISP's hardware which result in slow speed and frequent disconnection. USR or Lucent Modems are the best.  On no. 3 comes the selection of service provider, select a good and esteemed ISP rather selecting a low-rate ISP.  If you have the facility of DSL in your area, just subscribe for it, it will increase your net speed manifold.

its not about ur DSL. even the yahoo websites has their own server machines ... so if there is alot of load on the yahoo or many users are accessing yahoo then it will respond slow.

not realy, internet is the netwrok on the global level where WWW[world wide web] is only the website network. u know there is more the surfing on internet, like file sharing...

Check and see if you have an 'Internet Accelerator'.  Programs that promise to speed up your connection will do so, at the cost to your graphics.

I originally had cable, which was technically faster (3 meg down) but I switched to DSL.  It's half the speed (1.5 meg down) but i hardly notice the difference...and it's a lot cheaper, too (at least in my area).

Internet connection logically sounds like the problem.  Try a different ISP, or change the setting to your ISP.  Possible problem with Internet Browswer, try a different one like FireFox.\n\nA few ideas with limited knowledge of problem.

That's the way it is. Upload is slower, one half - one third the speed. Sorry, but they're all that way.

The laptop is probably not as fast a setup as the desktop. Memory, hard drive, etc., are probably limiting the internet speed.

Check your connection. if dial-up/cable, maybe problem in lines. I think Windows website said if MP kept buffering, you had a poor connection.

I have Ubuntu. I am running it now. I have NO problems with being on the Internet. I don't get where you are having problems!  I am in Ubuntu Now!

depends on computer and connection speed to the internet

Actually that is average for a 56k modem to run at.  Internet is not a gauranteed thing--it will never run at what it is supposed to.  I would suggest getting DSL/Broadband, you will be much happier.\n\nWhy you ask?\nMillions of other users on at the same time creates noise on the lines, breaking up your data at times, which will make it come in slower to your computer.  Plus, it has to travel over lines and lines and lines--the further away the information is coming from the longer it will take to get to you.
