(Resolved) Increase Broadband Connection

Is there any software that can increase my DSL connection?

 

Hi there!

Check out Speed Guide
They have a wide variety of patches to hep optimize your connection speeds.

You can also check out the tweaks at DSL Reports


Good Luck!

Hi, Possibly, yes....could you read through this post, it contains a link from Frank Lavalee that looks very interesting....then, from his site, he gives a link to Speedguide page where you can tweak your system to improve performance with cable/DSL.....some good reviews of hardware there, too. http://forums.techguy.org/t116538/s.html

edit- I see it's already posted....start tweaking!

 

Hmm. I'm looking over the patches now, and I can not find which one to use. These are the ones, which are for Reg., that match my OS:

sguide_tweak_2k.zip

sguide_tweak_2k_pppoe.zip

sguide_default_2k.zip

Which one to use?

 

Also, how do I backup my registry? Because if I want to download there patches, I have to do so.

 

What they are...

sguide_tweak_2k = generic optimization for win2K registry

sguide_tweak_2k_pppoe = If your connection calls for an actual login using PPPOE. some use it some don't

sguide_default_2k = resets the registery back to the Windows Defaults.

Hope that clears it up a bit!

So, if you have to "Log IN" to your DSL connection with a username & password, use the PPPOE, If not, then use the first one!


Good Luck!

Thanks for the info, ST!

Also, can you help me figure out how to backup my Registry. I don't know how to do it.

Thanks!

 

With these tweaks, I have used them countless times with no problems at all.

HOW TO: Backup, Edit, and Restore the Registry in Windows 2000

Hope that helps!

 

I don't have Windows 2k, I have XP Home. Sorry.

 

Then if you want to make sure things will be fine...


Click on Start--Programs--Accessories--System Tools--"Systemm Restore"
Choose "create a restore point" and it will make a snapshot of your system that you can revert to!

 

Thanks!
