You need to prepare the following things first:
1) Tape (The sticky Kind)
2) A working Printer (Colour or Black/White)
3) Just a basic C++ program
4) Patients
5) Stamina
6) Strong Coffee
Okay here it go's..
Type all of this in your C++ program now!!

If you did all of this correctly your printer starts running.... wait for it... wait.. There it is!!!!
The paper Say's:
YES!! I am now a Super Booster of any speed you like!!! Stick me firmly to your Cable/Adsl Modem sit back and enjoy!!
It's all in the Mind!!
If you really want to boost up your connection speed.., just pay more for it! :blink:
;) Good Luck! ;)
