How To Optimize Internet Connection Speed
posted July 12, 2008 - 8:45am
You should know the following information before going to optimize your internet connection speed.
# Computer
# Internet connection
# Web browser
# ISP telephone number
And before going for the final steps to increase your internet connection speed you must know that:
Remember, depending on what medium and ISP your using, your Internet connection speed can vary. For example, DSL speeds can be negatively affected by distance and the quality of your phone line. Cable speeds can be negatively affected by the quality of the coax and the amount of users sharing the Internet connection with you. In FTTC (Fiber To The Curb) & FTTP (Fiber To The Premise) applications, the quality of the coax/Cat5 network between your computer and the ISP's fiber network, could affect connection speeds. Normally you will also note that there is always some peak and non-peak hours. During peak hours number of users are more than non-peak hours. So your internet connection speed will vary.
Make sure you understand how TCP Optimizer software interacts with your computer. You can update your knowledge regarding ISP, TCP etc.
Find out from your Internet Service Provider (ISP) what Internet connection speed your paying for. Make sure the speed your paying for is the speed programmed in their network. This is required to compare between the speed you are getting and the speed which you are supposed to get.
Test your Internet connection speed. You can do this by going to one of these speed test websites: Speakeasy.net/speedtest or Speedtest.net. In the first one you have to choose the region pyramid in the site and if your area is not included in the pyramid you can included it there. Record your results.
Compare the speeds what you are suppose to get and what you are getting actually. If you are getting the speed you are paying for go no further. If your not, go to the next step.
Disable web-browser Add-ons that can slow down your Internet connection speed. Check to see if you have multiple web browser Add-ons operating with your browser. For example, if your web browser is Internet Explorer, go to Tools, select Manage Add-ons, and look at what Add-ons are enabled. Disable the ones you do not want to use.
Run anti-virus, adware, spyware, and malware scans. All of these, if found on your computer, could negatively affect your Internet connection speed.
Run Disk Cleanup and Disk Defragmenter from your System Tools menu.
Download TCP Optimizer software to optimize your computers MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) values, RWIN (Receive Window) values, and broadband related registry keys. The most popular and FREE TCP Optimizer that I found is called "SG TCP Optimizer". You can download it at CNET: http://www.download.com/SG-TCP-Optimizer/3000-2155_4-10488572.html?tag=lst-1 or at PCWORLD: http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,68524-order,1-page,1/description.html.
Now you can again test your speed going to the previous speed test site listed above and compare your speed. I hope you will get satisfied result.
