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

That's an oxymoron, there is no such thing as fast dial-up.  If you are looking for fast internet service check out DSL, I don't know what is in your area but I'm sure a Google search would turn something up.  My grandparents have Verizon DSL and it's pretty fast, comparable to Cable high speed if you're just browsing, it's weakness is downloads but still much faster than dial-up.  You might want to check out any high speed cable services in your area as well.  DSL will typically run you $15 to $20 per month and high speed cable will run $35 per month and up.

Visit www.thelist.com and look for information about dial-up providers in that area.    If you have a provider, ASK THEM, switch.

Not really. If your ISP has a proxy server that could make it faster. What a proxy server does is cache (keep a copy) of all web pages people visit, so then if you visit those same pages you only have to connect to your ISP rather than the actual page itself, making it quite a bit faster. In internet explorer Tools->Connections->Lan settings allows you to set your proxy server. But its not a common thing these days as most people who care about such things are using broadband, and ISP's don't offer a proxy.\n\n\nBTW Google Web Accelerator is no help - "3. Can I use Google Web Accelerator with a dial-up connection?\n\nDial-up users may not see much improvement, as Google Web Accelerator is currently optimized to speed up web page loading for broadband connections."

If you are, you've been duped.  DSL should be much faster than dial up...and if it isn't...find a new service provider.

I too used to work on Dial Up and it is a pain in the butt. I now have DSL and it's a ton better. I'd seriously think about upgrading that internet connection.\n\nIf you give me your e-mail address I will e-mail you the install file. I have a yahoo e-mail address that I am pretty sure I can send a file that size through to you on. If you are interested please contact me at oboedude01@yahoo.com.

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!

if you are using dial up, it is not very optimal, there is a lag in the recieving, you need broadband to enjoy it

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.

Note sure how you tested the speed, but you should first use a connection speed test program (many out there, for example http://reviews.cnet.com/7004-7254_7-0.html). Your BB provider may also have a test program. \n\nIf it looks like the speed is still slow afer testing, there is little you can do on your computer (download accelerators do not help w/ large files, just web pages), and you need to call your BB provider to see if the line to your house might be noise (in which case they will automatically throttle the speed), or you are too far away from the CO (which limits the maximum speed of your connection)

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.

I think it depends on your internet connection...if you have High speed internet, it'll of course be faster than say...dial up.

Looks like the same problem with me...\nMaybe be ur internet connection is too slow especially if your using Dial-up connection\nTo reset that problem go to internet options and check your cookies it must be in the medium level and in the advance tabs choose restore defaults and restart your computer and try ur internet..\nIf the problem is there, call your trusted operator and let him/her fixed the problem.
