    DL Speed

    There are progs/services that can increase surfing speed that have nothing to do with bandwidth. Bandwidth is just that: a lane of limited width that can handle just so much traffic, i.e., increasing the bandwidth increases the number or volume of packets that flow from the sender to the recipient; the speed of the packets is not increased. Let's say you have a two lane highway with a speed limit of 60 mph. If both lanes are full, then 7.2K cars a minute will pass by any given point. If you double the number of lanes to four, then 14.4K cars will pass but the speed will remain at 60mph. Regardless of your bandwidth, the speed of the transmission does not change - the volume changes.

    Antiques

    Both these progs are antiques and claim only to do as I mentioned: optimize surfing. I don't know if they still offer it but ISPs like NetZero, et al., had a premium service ($3-4 extra) that did the same thing. Honoring truth in advertising, NetZero used to include a disclaimer that noted that their premium service did not enhance down- or upload speeds.

    Caveat emptor.

    Increase BROADBAND

    This is for broad band connections,

    Make sure your logged on as actually "Administrator".
    Start->Run->type gpedit.msc
    Expand the "Local Computer Policy" branch.
    Expand the "Administrative Templates" branch.
    Expand the "Network Branch".
    Highlight the "QoS Packet Scheduler" in left window.
    In right window double-click the "Limit Reservable Bandwidth" setting.
    On setting tab check the "Enabled" item.
    Where it says "Bandwidth limit%" change it to read 0.

    Effect is immediate on some systems, some need to re-boot. This is more of a "counter what XP does" thing. In other words, programs can request up to 20% of the bandwidth be reserved for them, even with QoS disabled.

    I'm not quite sure about editing any of my computer registry just to speed up my internet connection.

    I've found something interesting over the internet. You can increase your browsing speed by editing firefox, if you use firefox as your default browser.

    1. Open your frefox in a new tab and type about:config
    2. search for network.http.pipelining set it to 'true'
    3. same for network.http.proxy.pipelining set it to 'true'
    4. then, click to network.http.pipelining.maxrequest and put it '30'
    5. Lastly right-click> New> Integer and type 'nglayout.initialpaint.delay' and put it '0' value

    This setting has increasing my browsing speed up 2x. If you ask me what is the function of editing each of the steps, I'll say I don't know. Maybe someone can explain about it.

    simple fat cruel and rude answer: BIG FAT NO.
    you are on dialup (if via standard POTS plain old telephone systems)
    and since here its a huawai modem, which is either gsm/cdma/3g usb adapter based modem? its your ISP whom you need to kill, because they been stopping you from a net burst, situation 1, and if you are just a few meters away from the tower and still fscked up with slow speed? you need to kill your ISP because they are the one responsible, gsm and cdma and 3g all work on radio wave and perhaps they got the worst radio wave frequency configured towers.
    and whoever claims can increase ADSL/ADSL2+ speed or cable modem speed on a dedicated bandwidth, and something which is not shared are criminals (ideologically ethical criminals and thugs) and-or-else you are an IDIOT. because your dsl speed is hard coded set into dslam router ISP's router and not your device and unless you know how to break in (dont ask how!) you will never get past the designated speed.
    hope this helps. :-D

    Hahaha, :pnice. But I don't think this deserve to azrul. He is just a newbie who doesn't know anything much about computer. He just know what to say it broadband or dial-up and got mixed with it because he just doesn't know the right term to use it. It's just like me before I took Computer Science subject.

    Once again, heheh. All be happy no need to get angry.:)
