How to Increase your Internet Speed?

There is nothing like trying to work when your Internet connection is slow. It’s tougher to send e-mail, more difficult to send files to co-workers, and it’s frustrating wasting time while you wait for Web pages to appear. And even with the proliferation of broadband Internet connections, there are still times you may be working on a slow connection. You might be traveling, working out of your office, still using dial-up, or your broadband connection may be acting up. But there are things you can do.

Send Multiple Files Faster by Compressing Them

If you’re sending multiple files-for example several files related to a project-you can reduce their combined size by using a compression utility. Compressing your files can dramatically reduce the time needed to send files online, and won’t take up as much space in your (or the recipient’s) e-mail Inbox. WinZip is one of the more common compression tools.

Use an email notifier instead of having an email client or separate browser window open.Use email notifiers.

They will check accounts from Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail, POP and in some instances IMAP.

Checking mail in this fashion takes up much less resource and bandwidth.

Use Google Earth instead of Google Maps:

Heavy users of Google Maps have probably experienced the situation where your internet connection appears to randomly “shut off” for no reason when using this site. There’s a reason for it. Google Maps in the way it displays map data makes a lot of browser network requests. As such it times out your network connection for around 60 to 90 seconds before it comes back.Google Maps has always had this issue.

Google Earth, a standalone application, does not have this problem. The way it renders its maps doesn’t “choke” like the browser version does. It also loads map data faster.

Open Web Pages Faster by Increasing Your Cache:

If you increase the size of the Temporary Internet files cache, your computer won’t have to work so hard when you revisit Web pages. Many of the images will already be downloaded on your computer, decreasing the amount of time it takes to open a page.

Increase the Temporary Internet Files cache to open Web pages faster.

Reduce E-Mail Size With Simple E-Mail Signatures:

E-mail signatures leave a professional stamp on your messages, but elaborate signatures that include multiple images take up a lot of unnecessary storage space in each e-mail. Ultimately, they can slow down the time needed to send each message. Instead create distinctive text signatures combining fonts, type sizes, and colors to make your e-mail signature smaller and quicker to transmit and receive.

Surf when others are not surfing:
