Help! I am using broadband connection but there are times that the connection is really not that speed as expected 100kbps that's really getting me impatient with my browsing. It should be 300kbps or more.
Please help to all people who are experts or have experiences with this. Thanks!

If you will change your broadband connection speed, then changer you next higher data plan than what you are using now. If you still want to increase you net speed with your current broadband speed. Then I will recommend ON SPEED, Which accelerate your broad band speed up to 5 times faster than your existing.

thank you for all your suggestion, unluckily I got a fixed plan only here since broadband is just new here like one year and no much options yet. But I guess the Taiwan earthquake is a big factor why is it there's slow down in internet connection. Asia-Pacific region is widely affected.

The only thing to speed your internet connection is to increase the bandwidth..but there are sometimes the internet connection will be very slow...it may be due to the internet traffic..I did a lot of tricks to increase the speed but its not that much effective..

Try increasing your hard disk since when you surf the internet, a portion of your hard disk is being used as a temporary folder for your files in the internet. Try also increasing your ram.

Get your computer tested with a good anti virus & spyware if it has become slower than before. I would recommend AVG to you. Install both AVG antivirus and AVG spyware. Both comes separate and both are required for separate purposes.

the slow connection could be affected with the routing problem of the asia pacific after taiwan was hit by a huge magnitude of earhtquake, as posted by one poster awhile ago.

first check ur pc if it is infected with some spyware then it is using most of the internet and letting u use a very small portion. maybe u could do a new windows and that would increase the speed (it has happened with me). if that doesnt work then simply get a better connection.

You can't speed up your internet connection,it all depends on you ISP.You can change your broadband plan to a faster one.
