How can I speed up my internet?

pay more

Spend more money.

I use some about:config customizations to speed up Firefox a little bit in order to help me experience the full potential of my internet speed.

So in about:config, use these values:

• network.http.max-connections-per-server: 20
• network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server: 50
• network.http.pipelining: true
• network.http.pipelining.maxrequests: 100

For those values of 20, 50 and 100: I just used bigger values than I probably need to just be sure. Try these values out and see what the difference is.

my internet is really slow and im paying pretty much, youtube videos never load all the way and utorrent just works the first 2 minutes after i start the program then it looses connection. i called my phone company´s help line and he told me i needed to open ports.

That might help you but i havent had time to try it, to busy at school right now.
there are 3 computers in the house, mom and dad are running XP, im running W7 and my sister is running linux ubuntu and her internet is blazing fast

paying more is out of the option, im already paying a bundle for this -

This is what I get

lol it could always be way worse. This actually not bad. But use the about:config changes I posted and also use YouTube to search for Firefox tweaks to make it faster.

Well you blow me out of the water.

You guys think you have it bad? My downloads download at 250 kb/s and here is my Speedtest:Pretty bad eh?

Quote:
Damn dude. There are people who would be on cloud 9 to have even half that speed. Did you do my about:config tweaks yet?

Dont complain untill youve had my internet.

At least yours isn't as weird as mine...



I think my ISP gives me that bandwidth only when I run that test, since I have never seen a download over 1.5mbps.
