I am in the beginning stage of this battle as well.  Four months ago, I upgraded from basic to pro, only to find that my download speed has not increased.  Upload has increased approximately 15-20% to 410Kbps.  I've contacted AT&T Yahoo, only to be given the script trouble-shooting answers such as, "Clear Cookies, Delete Files and History.  Allow all Cookies, turn off Internet Security" and turn 360 degrees, reboot your machine, reload OS, and chant a Christmas Jingle.  I have not quite gotten the rewire the house telephone lines or rework the plumbing request, but I'm sure that'll be the next one.  They've refutted my theory that it could possibly be the three-year old SpeedStream 5360 DSL router that's causing the bottle-neck, since 3.0Gbps wasn't even a techie's wet-dream when the router was designed....  Sorry that I don't have an answer for ya' - just wanted to let you know that you're not alone on this one.

It would be helpful if you posted some basics about your internet connection.  56k users will be doomed to such happenings, as sometimes "noise" over the connection will cause packet losses.  Also, peak internet use times will cause those types of problems.

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.

Click on Start, Control Panel, then Network Connections. Right click on your Internet connection & select Properties. Then select Configure button. \n\nMaximum speed (bps). Users of 33.6K Modems should set this to 56700, while 56K Modem users should select 115200. \n\nEnable hardware flow control. Tick this setting to enable the use of hardware handshaking with your connection. For best connection stability & throughput ensure this setting is Ticked. Though in some (rare) cases you may find Unticking this setting can improve connection stability (Uses Software flow control instead). \n\n \nEnable modem error control. Tick this setting to enable the use of Modem error control, which will attempt to ensure data integrity in the connection, resending any damaged packets as necessary. I’d highly recommend enabling this. There are also Init strings available which can be used to disabled inefficient error control components.\n\nEnable modem compression. Data compression provides faster uploads/downloads depending on the data which is getting compressed. Should you have a Winmodem then you can leave this setting Unticked as these Modems do not support hardware compression. For regular, hardware, modems Tick this setting to enable the Modem to perform any data compression, which provides lower CPU usage over using software compression. As a result I’d recommend Ticking this setting for best system performance. \n\nShow terminal window. Tick this setting to have a Pre-dial terminal session appear. If you need to use this you’ll know. I can’t think of any modern ISP that would require you to use something archaic like this, though some more advanced users might use this to test the Modem. For everyone else just leave this Unticked. \n\n \n\nEnable modem speaker. Tick this setting to enable the speaker on the Modem to emit sound. This is fairly useful as you should be able to tell whether or not you can successfully connect or not just by listening to the connection when being dialled up. Untick this setting to mute the Modem’s speaker. \n\nClick Ok & select the Networking tab. \n\n \n\nType of dial-up server I am calling. Set this to PPP: Windows 95/98/NT4/2000, Internet unless your ISP has informed you otherwise, which is unlikely. \n\nNow select the Settings button. \n\n \n\nEnable LCP extensions. LCP (Link Control Protocol) extensions provide a way of establishing, configuring, maintaining, & terminating a PPP connection. You should leave this setting Ticked unless you experiencing problems connecting to your ISP as a result of its enabling. \n\nEnable software compression. Tick this setting to enable software (CPU) data compression for your connection. This will provide faster uploads/downloads depending on the data which is getting compressed. Should you have a Modem which can performance compression in hardware then I’d recommend you leave this setting Unticked & allow the Modem to perform any data compression – this should improve system performance slightly as the CPU will not be required to perform a task which can be done on separate, dedicated, hardware. Those would Winmodems should Tick this for optimal upload/download speeds, albeit it at the cost of some CPU cycles. \n\nNegotiate multi-link for single link connections. You can leave this setting Tick unless you experience problems connecting to your ISP (Error code 733 according to Microsoft), in which case Untick this. \n\nClick Ok after you’ve made your changes. \n\nFor the most efficient Internet connection you should Uninstall as many unnecessary Clients/Services/Protocols as possible, e.g. Client for Microsoft Networks & QoS Packet Scheduler. As you may have noticed from my Dial-up connection only Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is installed.

Two things might work, switch the power of to your modem and leave for 5 Min's then switch back on, and leave for another 5 Min's so it finds its settings.\n\nNext you can check your MTU to find out what speed is set, follow the link below.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nGood Luck.

I think any port will do but it depend on how many people are are sharing the file.  If your the only one downloading and that persons got only dial up modem and your trying to download from him your getting the 56k he has to download. If more people are connected for you to download from, you can get as high as your service will allowed. When you download from wherever you download look for a   torrent with multiple seeder and low leachers so you'll have more with full file and faster download  available to you.\nHope this helps :)

your computer configuration is simply great, you might face problem with you bandwidth, i would recommend any thing above 512kb/s would be good.

You may be able to get a little bit more speed by adjusting the Maximum Transmitable Unit (MTU) size for the TCP/IP stack used by your operating system.  This is usually set for LAN (Local Area Network) connectivity, but can be adjusted to get better performance over internet connections.  You can search for "MTU Adjustment" as well as the name of your operating system in order to find sites that may have utilities for you to do this easily.\n\nDo note: your download speeds are also limited by the available bandwith which might be regulated by the remote site.  Some servers specifically limit the amount of bandwidth that they use to serve files and information, so that they can transmit to several different clients at once.  Just because you may be receiving a file at 20k/s from one site doesn't mean that you could not also be receiving another file at a different site simultaneously with the same or higher speed.\n\nAlso, DSL can be limited by your provider.  Some of them charge a premium for higher bandwidth speeds.  You need to see what your provider gives you as a maximum.

yes switching to broadband will most probably fix your problem, however that is not the only option. If your modem is slower than 56k then I recommend upgrading one. Some service providers are faster than others so you might want to research which companies are good in ur area. Another thing that might help is if there is an option for viewing the video for a lower bandwidth, or smaller resolution, that could speed things up as well.

Dont be a fool! Aint happenin! Your internet speed is dependant on your provider mainly and there aint nuthin you can do to change it!

My advice would be:\n1.Perform disk cleanup\n2.Defragment hard disk drive\n3.Perform the chkdsk from stage 1 to 5\n4.Do a virus scan\n5.Check the virtual memory. Change to minimum 2095 and \nmaximum 4095 this will increase the speed of your computer.

i affraid u cant increase the speed... the only solution is a high-speed connection!

Upgrading your connection speed will definitly help.  I went from a dial up connection to 1.5mb and my downloads are, on the average, about 12 minutes faster.

No, ( Unless some new technology has come out) A  standard 56K Modem is required for a dial up connection, unless you are networked (connected) to another computer in your home or office through an ethernet cord, then you can share a dial up connection with the other computer. Standard 56k modems can be purchased from numerous different stores starting at approx $15 - $20

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.

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.
