How to Make Internet Faster

How do I make Internet faster?

There are different levels of Internet service available from different Internet service providers but, even if you are paying for high-speed, broadband connectivity, you might not be enjoying optimal service if your web browser and operating system aren’t configured to allow the best service.

The first thing you can do is use an online Internet connection speed test. There are several free utilities available; use your web browser and search for online connection speed test. The exact speed will vary with each test, but the results should not vary widely. Once you know how fast your connection is currently, you can make adjustments and evaluate the improvements.

To adjust settings on your computer:

2. Next, choose Internet Options
3. This will open the Internet Properties window, select the Connections tab, then LAN Settings

5. Click OK, then OK again to close the window

Using Internet Explorer, you can check your settings and increase the speed as much as possible.

5. Find MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server and MaxConnectionsPerServer. You can increase the maximum number of connections per page by increasing the values – shown in decimals – to a higher number
6. Close and re-open Internet Explorer to allow the changes to take effect

Using Firefox, you can increase your Internet speed with these steps:
1. Open Firefox and type about:config in the address bar, then press Enter
2. In the filter bar, type network

In addition to tweaking your Internet settings, keeping your computer clean of unused programs and applications.
