The program is called TCP Optimizer, a 448 KB free download that tweaks existing registry values to increase your internet speed. You don’t need to install anything to run it.
When I used it, I noticed a HUGE jump in my cable’s download speed. I was already going around ~300 KB/s, and now I sometimes get up well over 1 MB/s. However, I tried it with my friend’s computer (dial-up), and I barely saw an increase.
I got ADSL… I dont understand why changing the registry would make your internet connection any faster; it doesnt make any sense to me… perhaps someone around here knows and could enlighten me? and a 700 kb/s increase for you wow… thats amazing I’m intrested in how you figure these out? I used dslreports.com
Well actually, I had a pc 3 years installed, and when I got better conenction 40 kbytes/s is downloaded still with 5kb/s. Afther some reasons I reinstalled and I saw the speed was really 40kb/s now.
About the program for speed increase, if you buy a connection (adsl or else) that has maximum of 200 kbytes/s and use the program, don’t expect that you get more then 200kbytes/s because that’s the limit. Well actually sometimes you see your conenction hitting 50% over the limit of your connection, that’s just for a short time, afther 5 seconds or 10 it’s 200 again.
You can’t get highter download speed the the limit of your conenction from the provider. If this does, we all should use it but it isn’t that easy.
But this can be true for a part. If you have actually bought 200kbytes/s and you get only 150, it can be true that afther using it, the connection is 200 again, but not more. So to theropod, I think your limit is 1mb/s and because your pc or what ever was messed up., and the speed was 300kb/s.
Anyways I download the file, and check if it really speeds up the connection, but I think it doesn’t. You’ll get informed about it
Yeah I said that my download speed gets up or over 1 MB/s, but almost always drop back down to ~800 KB/s, which is still faster than what it was before. It also really depends on the site you’re downloading from.
I went to PCPitStop and ran their download speed test. This is what it returned:
I can’t really explain it. Although it may be an update in the ISP service. My ISP (Shaw) released a new service called Shaw High-Speed Xtreme-I. If you subscribe for it, you get 5 MB/s download speed, 1 MB/s upload speed. Maybe after introducing this offer, they used the same technology for regular subscribers like me, just not to such an extent.
but it isn’t that easy.
