How to increase speed of my internet connection?

Answer 1

You can speed up your connection to the internet using a digital subscriber line (DSL) modem. DSL is a very high-speed connection that uses the same wires as a regular telephone line. A DSL modem connects to the phone jack and the computer, the same as for a regular modem, although your computer needs to be new enough to have a DSL port. Many ISP

Unless the computer's capabilities itself are limiting (which is most likely is not), only improving the speed of your internet connection can help.

Doing less online, and closing down unnecessary internet applications (such as websites, instant messengers, games, etc.) can free up more bandwidth for use.

Answer 3

If your ADSL plan has a fixed speed, the speed may be capped (limited) by the ISP, and there may be higher speed plans available.

If your ADSL plan does not specify a speed, and is sold as "best effort" then there is not much you can do. The biggest influence on line speed is the cable distance to the local telephone exchange. Your DSL modem will train (negotiate) with the exchange to give you the best possible speed.

There are some faults that can cause speed to be poor on DSL, such as noise / interference on the line. These problems could be in your home or the street. One thing you can do is check you have filters at each telephone point that has a handset.

If you think you are getting a speed lower than you expect, you can contact your ISP and ask for a line test.
