No there is really nothing you can do to get past 6-8kb/sec

the only thing you can spead up is the browser....there are millions of registry tweaks for IE or you can get Firefox and get the tweaking program...

other than that theres is nothing you can do...except ofcouse get ADSL

[Adster]

no shit, he needs to get isdn, most phone company's carry it...

its shit and a waste of money

you have to pay for another line as well

all those programs are bullshit

I was on dial up for a while and could get at average about 80 meg in 4 hours

seriously they just don't work those programs

there are also reasons why people can't get ADSL

2 of them in fact

Geographic reasons

and Financial reasons

the number 1 thing is the most important

hav a look 64% of amerians are still on dial even

Australians here coz of Tel$tra only have about 25% its growing though

Tel$tra is whats letting it down not upgrading people off RIM lines unless they have there $30 a month bigpond bigshit service of 200 meg cap !!

nothing can help u if u r using dial-up

[shanu]

maybe try turning off modem compression(hardware) and turning on software compression, this should give better actual throughput speeds

Go to http://www.speedguide.net and download the TCP/IP Optimizer. All it is, is a simple program that optimizes certain registry items for better preformance. You choose ur internet connection (Dialup, DSL, Cable) and it modifies the reg files accordingly.

OMG thanks you o great master

I went from top speed of 50kB/s to 250kB/s
