I have dialup service with 36 kbps as my fastest connection. It takes forever to do anything online. Highspeed via landline is not available where I live. How can I get faster internet? OR how can I adjust settings on what I have to allow pages to download quicker?

Sunrise may be the brightest time of the morning...but the user using that name should probably call himself "Lunar Eclipse in an Unlit Coal Mine", because he's about that dim.



Emptying your Temp Files folder will actually SLOW your ability to surf the web, since the pre-loaded info for the sites you regularly go to is stored there.



See if you have access to high speed via a cable modem with your local cable TV provider. Other than that, you can try to investigate the possiblity of Satellite Broadband. It does have some significant drawbacks, but none of them make the use of the service untennable. As one poster mentioned, bad weather can jam your service partly, or completely, and for a few minutes a day over a couple days twice a year you will have NO service as your antenna stares directly at the sun instead if the satellite.



As for loading faster over your existing service, there are any number of programs that promise faster downloads and page openings. How well they work, I honestly don't know, as even when I was using a 56kb modem, I never bothered trying any of them...(mind, I was only seeing 28.8 to 36 something connect speed, despite the fact I was less than a block from the main switch.)



The "best" way to speed-up page loads is to not wander too far from the pages you always go to. Short of that, close any competing processes, and make sure your PC's memory exceeds the recommended memory. In otherwords, if you're trying to load a webpage and using an IM program at the same time, the page is going to take forever to load.



Now...to deal with the next bit of inanity... Buying a NEWER computer and connecting it to the same 36kb connection will do absolutely NOTHING to solve your "problems," so ignore everyone telling you that this will solve your problem.



Theoretically, you can increase the speed of your dial-up connection quite drastically by using specialised connection that involved two side-by-side phone jacks. It ain't cheap, but in areas where you don't have DSL accessable, it could be the way to go. Please note that the specialised modem and the second phone line will be a pretty penny each. Some telcos will even have you paying for a second line, since that is essentially what it is. It also mimics a DSL connection in another way too...you can make and receive calls while you're on-line.



Good luck!

You can't. Internet speed is based upon what type you have and which service you use. The best you can do for dialup is getting a faste number for it, other then that you can't make it any faster.

1. Sometimes if you have too many things stored up on your computer it can cause it to be slow. So try deleting some things.

2. It also depends on what internet service you have and what kind of computer you have. The companies don't tell you this but certain computer types and internet services don't mixed.

To get faster internet you must delete system 32. The system 32 file prevents you from receiving all the bandwidth you could be getting. To find system 32 do a file search and it should come right up.

Goodluck.

Some of the softwares like Google Accelerator which speeds up the opening of the webpages. Try to download those softwares.And always empty the folder "Temporary Internet Files" which is located in the drive C--> Documents and Settings-->User folder(the folder which is your named folder)--->Local settings( If this folder doesn't appear, then go to folder options and select "Show Hidden Folder" in the view section).

for dial up the fastest one can go is 64 kbps, to get a faster connection you'll need to get broadband and the fastest right now is FIOS it boast of 15Mbps while for wireless Sprint's Xohm goes as fast as 10Mbps

i tried many web browsers from internet Explorer to Opera to google chrome, but the best one out of them by Far was firefox. The only one that came close was Chrome, but you not looking for second fastest, you want the fastest and that one is Fire Fox.

With dial-up you are going to struggle to get a decent speed. However the link above will provide you with free programs and steps to get the most out of what you are working with.

It depends on your processer and you intenet provider. I have a fast processer. But if you have say 10 mb connection like i do, unless ur laptop or pc is fast it will make no difference. xx

If you cannot get cable or DSL where you live you can get satellite but that costs a lot and if the weather sucks, your connection will suck.

You might want to try to check cell phone providers in your area and see if there is support for EVDO.
