Speed up a Slow Internet Connection


How to Speed up a Slow Internet Connection(3)


Warnings


1.Be careful when closing off programs. Some programs are required for the running of other programs. If you aren't sure, search the name in google to find out what it is or seek expert advice.


2.Do not try to download any "speed boosters" for your connection. Most of these do not work and if anything may even slow down your connection more. The same goes for memory management software.


3.Do not run more than one virus scan at a time. Multiple virus scanning programs will merely interfere with each other and cause viruses to slip by. If you want a second opinion, try an online scan from something like TrendMicro's HouseCall


4.Be wary of supposed spyware cleaners and other programs that boast to improve performance. Many of these do not work and could well contain spyware or impede performance. Always do research on a program before downloading it. Check a reputable website for reviews from other users


5.You should conduct the online bandwidth tests for a couple days in a row, and at different times, as their bandwidth, or your bandwidth could have been tied up. From there, find your "average" connection speed, and work from that.


6.If you have a spyware infected computer, changing browsers will not solve your problem.



Things You'll Need


Online Speed Test
A spyware scanning program such as Spybot Search and Destroy or Ad-aware
