There are many occasions when you will get into internet connection problems and will not be able to get online and handle your normal online business, this is the stage when you need to try out some of these tweaks for the respective connections. If you are using airtel 8mbps connection then you wont need these tweaks because its one of the best broadband service provider in India.

First of all check out your current broadband speed and note it down and then apply the following tweaks one by one :

  1. Reducing your Web Cache Space : You need to reduce your web cache space to the minimum because this way your browser does not need to search much in the temporary files. For this you need to do the following :
    Click Start > Click on Control Panel > Double Click on Internet Options > Click on Setting option under the Browsing History[Delete temporary files, history, cookies, saved passwords & web information].
    Internet Properties Control Panel
    Now reduce the cache size to the minimum recommended disk space which is normally 50Mb disk space. This way your internet connection speed will increase to some extent.
    Temporary Internet Files
  2. Speed Up your Web Pages by blocking multimedia & Turning off Graphics: This is a very important tweak which can help you increase your broadband speed by many times. Here are the steps :
    Click on Start > Click on Control Panel > Double Click on Internet Options > Click on Settings under Advanced Menu > Deselect some of the options which you dont need generally while browsing example removing Show pictures if you normaly use internet connection for check out your emails etc.
    Advanced Internet Options
    Generally you need to disable Images, sounds, animations etc in order to increase your internet speed because text wont take much time to load up in a slow connection.
  3. Send Bulk emails using distribution lists : If you are looking to send a email to multiple reciptants then its time for you to signup for email distributions by creating mailing lists, this way you can get your work sorted even if you are on a very slow internet connection.

    Hey guys, check this out.
    What im goin to tell u now will help u tweak ur PC n internet connection to get maximum out of it.
    1) Download windows registry optimiser frm this website
    —http://www.iobit.com/advancedwindowscareper.html?Str=download.
    2)Download CCleaner from http://www.CCleaner.com.
    3)Run both programs n optimise ur registry.
    4)if ur using firefox , get the latest version that is firefox3 as early as possible.It has a brilliently designed memory usage capacity which almost doubles ur browsing speeds. Even an addon like fasterfox in the firefox2 cant match this speed,its so fast.
    5)If u try the above mentioned things in a row, I can guarentee that u can get the most of ur PC n internet connections cuz i have tested it heavily.
    Thanx again, Do let me know n send ur feedbacks at [email protected]/yahoo/aol.com and may be i can help u out further if u have any problems.
