MemberCan't really make it any faster then what your servie provider gived you. Check for updates, virues, ad/spyware, network (your router) speed, and if your sharing the net with other people, ask them to get off while your using it so get the full bandwith. Otherwise its being shard between whoever using the net too at the same time.
If your getting way below that you should be getting, then call yout servie provider and ask whats up... other wises thats about all you can do my friend.

So need help pls................Many internet service providers offer different levels of service. Obviously, they charge more for the levels that give you greater upload and download speeds. There are also tweaks that can be applied to some web browsers (like Firefox) that can boost it's performance, and there are also utilities that can tweak your networking parameters to give modest performance gains there. One such free utility is called TCP Optimizer. Go to this URL for more info on it and other speed optimization ideas: http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php
I suspect that for a major boost in your internet speed though, you will have to ask your ISP to upgrade your service to a level that gives you greater bandwidth. Be sure to ask for the cost of that upgrade though (just to make sure you're ok with it).
Also, make sure you're your antivirus and antispyware software is up to date and scan your system for viruses and spyware. Viruses and spyware can both kill your system performance.
I also had this experience recently. A neighbor asked me to look at her friend's computer as her online performance was absolutely terrible. Even though she had a broadband connection, she had very long waits for web pages to load on every web site she visited. She had called her ISP several times on the problem and twice they sent a man out to check out her connection and setup, but they couldn't fix the problem. Since her computer was brand new, she called tech support there and asked for help. They were unable to help her as well. Anyway, to make a long story short, I noticed her computer contained a lot of trial software that had been pre-installed by her computer manufacturer, and I began uninstalling all that crap that she didn't need and that she said she wouldn't use. I then re-booted her computer and it was like magic; all of a sudden web pages were being displayed almost instantly.
There are a couple points that can be learned from the above experience. First, once you get your system working well,
back it up as the day will surely come when something kills your system performance again. Being able to restore your system from a backup is the quickest and least painful way to remedy that problem. Second, don't overload your computer with all kinds of software. That can kill system performance (especially if you end up with a couple programs that do not co-exist well on your system).You should also defrag your hard drive on a regular basis. I defrag mine at least once a week, but my computer sees a lot of use every day. You may not need to defrag yours that often, but even if you only use the computer a few times a week, you should defrag once a month anyway. Defraging usually only gives you minor performance gains, but more importantly, your hard drive doesn't have to work as hard when it doesn't contain hundreds of fragmented files, and it will run a little cooler. That's important because a hard drive that runs too hot can have a very short life.

MemberBut it doesn't really increase your net speed, you'r still stuck to what your network provider is giving you unless you pay more for more speed. Even thos "preformance optimizers" really don't give you more speed, just more control, so not really a "modest" boost.. Yes I did some benchmark and found this to be true. At best, there is a tweaks thats both in I-E and FireFox (they change how to get to em) to up the nember of connections to any a server.

Beta VeteranStorage speed does effect internet browsing performance. I found that when I got my SSD's one of the most noticeable speed improvements was with browsing. This is because browsing requires reading and writing many small files often at the same time. SSD's can do this 30 to 40 times faster than a HDD.

MemberMradr, you are correct about net speed being a fixed value. But the content on web pages being served to you are frequently not sent to you in one contiguous stream of data, nor does all the content of a web page come to you from the same domain (especially web sites that contain ads). Therefore, increasing the number of simultanious connections in your browser can sometimes more efficiently use the bandwidth you have available. And more efficient use of the bandwidth DOES mean reduced wait times for web pages to load! And that gives the perception of increased speed. Browser addons that provide pre-caching capabilities can also give your online experience the feel of having a faster connection.
But I'm not convinced that the described problem is related to the ISP's cap on the net speed anyway. At this point, it's only a possibility. As you and I both stated, there are other things that need to be investigated as well.

Beta VeteranIn addition to the sound advice given by Byteboss I'd would suggest installing Advanced SystemCare 3 by IObit.com (it's free)
It can do all things mentioned - Fix errors , clean the registry and temporary files , tweak the internet settings (the UI for that is identical to TCP Optimizer so I think they modeled it after that) , tweak firefox settings , defrag the harddrive , check for malware and immunize against some malware.I'd also like to recommend cFosSpeed (not free) which is a software QOS/traffic shaper for your internet traffic.
It doesn't actually boost your maximum internet speed (only buying a faster connection can do that) but it will help you use the connection you have to the fullest , lower ping and make your experience more "smooth".Posted 2 years ago # -

Memberchooky:
Thats true up to a point, most websites (like I said most- 2/3) only use about a few meg for the images and text; sound and videos are sorta different story in the way they work, but are still storaged on the hard drive around at 200kb (1757 / 8.92 = 197kb. Actully what you see for the small reads and write is the default saving/caching. What you should do is move the cache file to some place faster, like a ramdrive (if you have 2Gb of ram to spare...) and you'll see some "speed". I did this all ready and found opening website I last visted open like they were saved on the computer it self. Downside is you need some place fast, so unless you own a SSD or a alot of ram (I wouldn't use a USB... due to their slow write limit) your kinda of out of luck there.byteboss:
Thats the tweak I was talking about there at the end of my post. Thats seems to be the only one I found to actully speed anything up in the terms of browsing. FireFox does have another one, i'm not sure how you go about changing it in I-E... Theres is a "Wait" command that actully does slow you down witch should be lowerd into the 1sec range for faster browsing.I just dont belive in TCP Optimizers... I find them to sorta just lie, I mean they could work, but I never saw a increase in my benchmarkes after using one... Not to say it didn't help in being more smooth (better ping), I just never saw it, but doesn't mean other wont.
The only thing I saw that actully help was the # of connection tweak in both firefoxs and I-E that did show some boost in faster browsing.

Beta VeteranAnother tip is to go to the SpeedGuide.net TCP/IP Analyzer to check your settings. Often your PC settings might be OK but your router MTU setting will not be optimal.
I also use Hostsman to block ads and dangerous sites. This speeds up browsing because advertising content is not downloaded or rendered.

Beta VeteranYour internet browser also influences percieved speed of the internet. I use Chrome for the speed, uncluttered interface and maximum page space.
Interesting how slow Chrome is on the AMD CPU!
Also notice that your CPU plays a big part.
Peacekeeper - The Browser Benchmark from Futuremark CorporationDid I mention SPEED!
