Speeding Up Internet Access
People usually complain that the Internet is slow and they blame their ISPs. However, the problem usually lies in user’s own systems. If you’re connecting to a high-speed ISP with a modem over a telephone line, you’ll still get slow internet access. To get a fast internet experience start with hardware. Get a relatively high-speed, low-latency connection to the Internet like cable or DSL, and then make sure your computer can handle the load. Connect to the modem via an Ethernet port and not serial, parallel, or USB. Finally, see to it that your computer has enough memory; in most modern computers this is more a bottleneck than speed.
