How can I speed up my internet connection?

Hi vatsrajiv,

If you have problems with your internet connection speed you better communicate with your suppliers of Internet services (ISP) technical support team. Internet high speed is governed by many factors, including your distance from your PBX and the time of day, you use the internet. If you're more than a mile from your phone (I think) Exchange and then speed will be reduced due to degradation of the signal. Yet here in the United Kingdom, resulting speeds are advertised as 8 MB and above (up to 20 or more in some areas), however, in reality, you are lucky to get an average speed of 2.5 to 4 MB on an 8 MB line.

Another factor is the time of day you access internet. Peak your ISP is likely to "cap" of the connection speed. In other words, more people using your lower ISP connection speed system. Another factor is whether a "router" is declining in some parts of the world where your ISP traffic fell through. Also, this may cause more slow responses of the web pages. Yesterday, I visited a webpage which, under normal conditions, takes about 15 seconds to load. On this occasion, it took more than 70 seconds to load.

You also don't say if you are using broadband or dial-up connection services. While we always assume that everyone has broadband is not always the case. Remote connections are still alive and well in many parts of the countryside, especially those. A dial is notoriously slow compared to broadband by default.

You can check your ISP website and check their "State of the line" to see if they have problems. If all goes well, it might be useful to contact your ISP and get them to check your phone line, just in case where there is a problem with your telephone line or even your router if you are on broadband.

  • QuickTime and UTube movies stop & start. How can I re - set for internet connection is slow?

    UTube will start the movie OK but stops a few seconds, then puts in buffer the stream? and then continues. Sometimes, it does not continue. I have a relatively slow DSL - ethernet to my imac 2011 10.7.5 running. My question is: is it possible to re - define the buffer settings so videos play without stopping?

    Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in Flash Player settings. (See this article for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).

    To turn off hardware acceleration in Flash Player:

    1. Go to the Adobe Flash Player help page.
    2. Right-click on the Flash Player animation at the bottom of the page.
    3. Click settings on the shortcut menu. The Adobe Flash Player settings screen opens.
    4. Click the icon in the lower left of the Adobe Flash Player settings window to open the display panel.

    5. Remove the enable hardware accelerationcheck box.
    6. Click close to close the Adobe Flash Player settings window.
    7. Restart Firefox.

    This Flash Player help - display settings page contains more information about the Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you are interested.

    Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

  • How can I know what my internet speed?

    I have Windows Vista with internet high speed Verizon with their modem. Verizon said it has 6 Mbps speed, but when I want to watch any kind of video it keeps stopping or loading. Is there a way I can check the speed of my internet connection?

    Hello

    I use http://speedtest.net. Verizon should be able to tell if they slowed down your connection because you have exceeded your limit of connection plan... If you ask them about changing your plan something that suites your needs... Many new plans are cheaper and bigger download limit... Verizon won't tell you unless you ask.

    To adjust your video settings Flash, right click on any Flash object in a web page and select 'Settings', uncheck/check "use hardware accelereation '... Your computer has a "video card"?

    I use a Mobile slow connection... to solve this problem... I click the Stop button on the Flash video first to enable some of the file to download and be buffered... then click on the button "Play" after about 10 seconds.

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.

    Note: select Safe mode with network.

    Step 2: If the question does not persist in SafeMode with network, then put the computer to boot and check what third-party application's driver is causing the problem:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: after a repair, be sure to configure the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

  • speed up your internet connection in Windows 8

    I've seen a lot of messages that mention users notice a slow internet connection more after moving to Windows 8 for the wired connections and wireless.

    Many of these problems are due to drivers still set up for network cards.  However, there are a little more at stake.  Windows 8 has many built-in features that use internet connection permanently.  Specifically, I am referring to many of the 'live' on Metro user interface applications.  These include things like pulling photos from Facebook, update of headlines and weather updates.  To account for these features Microsoft allows Windows to reserve a percentage of bandwidth for these features.

    It is less noticeable on connections faster broadband, but can be significant on slower connections.  Here are some things you can try to speed up the connection.

    1 make sure you have the correct driver installed.

    HP plans to support most of the laptops purchased after October 1, 2011.  You can check to see if HP has tested your laptop with Windows 8 by visiting this Web site.

    Currently, many hardware manufacturers have drivers available.  However, the first step is to check that it is not a specific driver available for your laptop computer network hardware.  You will need to follow the following instructions locate the number for your product.  After your head number product on HP's Support site and see if there are all the drivers available.  If so, install the appropriate driver.  If this is not the case, bookmark the page and check back regularly for updates.

    2. turn off or lower the amount of reserved bandwidth.

    As stated previously, Windows 8 automatically reserves a percentage of bandwidth for use with 'live' on Metro user interface applications.  First of all, you want to access the "Run" dialog box... ».  You can do this in the office or the metro by pressing Windows + X key combination and selecting 'run '.  You can type "gpedit.msc" and press ENTER.  On the left side, you will see "Configuration of the computer;" expand this list by clicking the arrow to the left.  Once this section is expanded you can select and expand "Administrative Templates" section, and then expand the "Network" section  Finally, you will see an entry called "QoS Packet" schedular, select this option.   After you select the QoS Packet Scheduler, you will see that the main part of the window has been set.  You will want to select "bookable bandwidth limit.    You can either reduce the percentage that is reserved or turn it off completely from here.  This should help speed up the internet connection.
