10 Ways to Make Your Internet Faster

Are you irritated that your dial up or Broadband takes ages to load a page whilst your friends take a second to load it? Do you want to smash your computer because you always lose connection whilst doing important things?

This simple article will show you 10 basic ways to get faster internet for free!

  1. Sign up for TalkTalk

    TalkTalk is a great phone company for various reasons. Firstly, it gives you unlimited calls abroad for free and internet up to 10+mbs for free!
  2. Download Safari for Free

    Why does everybody say that macs have the best internet in the world? It's because of Safari! Safari has been proved to be over 3-4 times faster than Firefox and even 12 times faster than Internet Explorer.
  3. Cool your modem down if it is hot

    Each time your modem is hot it makes you lose connection especially if you have used the internet for more than 3 hours in a row. So the solution is just to turn your modem off and take a break for 10 minutes.
  4. Empty Cache

    Especially in Macs, users can empty cache in the option under the safari icon which will empty the cache which the computer keeps each time you go to a website. This will facilitate the browsing a bit.
  5. Never use Internet Explorer

    Internet Explorer is the probably one of the slowest internet browsers around up to 12 times slower than Safari and 4 times slower than Firefox. However, Internet Explorer can be very useful but it is a bit slow.
  6. Go on 192.168.1.1 and change the setting

    By accessing 192.168.1.1 will allow you to enter the preferences of your router but do not touch some of the settings but only the details of your account with your internet provider.
  7. Change your bandwidth to 0%

    On your PC click on Start then run and type in gpedit.msc and expand the administrative templates, then the network tab and high light QoS Packet Scheduler and click on the limit reservable bandwidth and click on the enable option and change the bandwidth to 0% which should increase your internet speed by a lot after restarting it.
  8. Trash undesired files

    Files take up space and so slow down your computer so if you trash the undesired ones you will free up some space in your computer which will let you browse on the internet much faster and let you enjoy more the internet.
  9. Call your broadband provider

    Even though your internet provider might deny it, they are lying because the internet provider have your file with the allowance of your internet speed so they can decided to give you 1 mb as they can to give you 5 mb or 2 mb.
  10. Turn hotspot off

    In countries such as France your hotspot is turned by your internet provider to act as a transmitter to other people using it. If you turn it off on your router (192.168.1.1) you will not only have faster internet but also it will stop people from stealing your internet service next to your house.

Try and you won't be disappointed.

Very good tips. Thanks.

In Macs there is also the "Reset Safari" command under Safari dropdown menu. It makes the browser really snappy but it also erases stored passwords so use it with discretion.
