Very few things you can do. First off, try to get DSL if you can. It's cheap enough these days. $12 per month through SBC/ATT.\n\nYou are pretty much limited to the  condition/quality of the phone lines in your house or area. You can get the lines in your house rewired, but that's no guarantee for success.\n\nYou can also see if your ISP has a web accelerator program. Generally this will run a few $ more per month and will increase the speed of your surfing to a limited degree. Downloads and uploads, however, will still remain the same. Slow.\n\nI would try the DSL route. If that's not available, you can also try Cable modem. This is generally more expensive than DSL (around $50 or so, depending on where you live).\n\nGood luck!

Yes thats whats causing the problem. You cant just increase your bandwith. You need to contact your isp and pay them more for faster service. Or make sure there are no things downloading on your computers in your house.\n\nTry hitting pause and letting the show load for a few minutes (buffering) so that it wil play smoothly. THere should be a colored bar above the play bar that shows how much has loaded. Just hit play then a few seconds later hit pause. Come back in like five minutes.

yes switching to broadband will most probably fix your problem, however that is not the only option. If your modem is slower than 56k then I recommend upgrading one. Some service providers are faster than others so you might want to research which companies are good in ur area. Another thing that might help is if there is an option for viewing the video for a lower bandwidth, or smaller resolution, that could speed things up as well.

No. Your Internet Service Provider has a certain allowable upload + download bandwidth limit which will only allow you to obtain a set limit.\n\nHaving two connections going will not increase your internet speed, but only waste your system resources.

If this is a dial up modem, there's not a lot you're going to be able to do, as the speed depends on the quality of the wiring from within your house to the outside, from the outside of your house to the phone co., and from the phone co. to your internet provider.  If this is a DSL modem, and you're speed is that slow, I'd suggest checking into cable modem service, or contacting the phone company providing your DSL service to find out why your performance is so bad.

ur connection's speed may be low

You may be able to get a little bit more speed by adjusting the Maximum Transmitable Unit (MTU) size for the TCP/IP stack used by your operating system.  This is usually set for LAN (Local Area Network) connectivity, but can be adjusted to get better performance over internet connections.  You can search for "MTU Adjustment" as well as the name of your operating system in order to find sites that may have utilities for you to do this easily.\n\nDo note: your download speeds are also limited by the available bandwith which might be regulated by the remote site.  Some servers specifically limit the amount of bandwidth that they use to serve files and information, so that they can transmit to several different clients at once.  Just because you may be receiving a file at 20k/s from one site doesn't mean that you could not also be receiving another file at a different site simultaneously with the same or higher speed.\n\nAlso, DSL can be limited by your provider.  Some of them charge a premium for higher bandwidth speeds.  You need to see what your provider gives you as a maximum.

I have 30 Mbit/sec FIOS, but I actually can get faster: http://img82.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nonwirelesstestmyspeedsdlsmall.jpg  The problem is that hardly any site will give me that kind of bandwidth.  I still only average 300-1000 KB/sec, when downloading files.  \n\nOh, and the answer to your question is that you're getting what you're paying for.  Pay a bit more, and you'll get ALOT more bandwidth.  For instance: http://www.fiberexperts.com/

Well it may not be your Speed where your at but actually could be the end users speed where you are downloading from. They may post that they have such great connection when it turns out to be a dial up connection. You can check on http://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/ and test your internet speed. If you noticed that you is fine than there isnt much you can it all depends on the end side.

Click on Start, Control Panel, then Network Connections. Right click on your Internet connection & select Properties. Then select Configure button. \n\nMaximum speed (bps). Users of 33.6K Modems should set this to 56700, while 56K Modem users should select 115200. \n\nEnable hardware flow control. Tick this setting to enable the use of hardware handshaking with your connection. For best connection stability & throughput ensure this setting is Ticked. Though in some (rare) cases you may find Unticking this setting can improve connection stability (Uses Software flow control instead). \n\n \nEnable modem error control. Tick this setting to enable the use of Modem error control, which will attempt to ensure data integrity in the connection, resending any damaged packets as necessary. I’d highly recommend enabling this. There are also Init strings available which can be used to disabled inefficient error control components.\n\nEnable modem compression. Data compression provides faster uploads/downloads depending on the data which is getting compressed. Should you have a Winmodem then you can leave this setting Unticked as these Modems do not support hardware compression. For regular, hardware, modems Tick this setting to enable the Modem to perform any data compression, which provides lower CPU usage over using software compression. As a result I’d recommend Ticking this setting for best system performance. \n\nShow terminal window. Tick this setting to have a Pre-dial terminal session appear. If you need to use this you’ll know. I can’t think of any modern ISP that would require you to use something archaic like this, though some more advanced users might use this to test the Modem. For everyone else just leave this Unticked. \n\n \n\nEnable modem speaker. Tick this setting to enable the speaker on the Modem to emit sound. This is fairly useful as you should be able to tell whether or not you can successfully connect or not just by listening to the connection when being dialled up. Untick this setting to mute the Modem’s speaker. \n\nClick Ok & select the Networking tab. \n\n \n\nType of dial-up server I am calling. Set this to PPP: Windows 95/98/NT4/2000, Internet unless your ISP has informed you otherwise, which is unlikely. \n\nNow select the Settings button. \n\n \n\nEnable LCP extensions. LCP (Link Control Protocol) extensions provide a way of establishing, configuring, maintaining, & terminating a PPP connection. You should leave this setting Ticked unless you experiencing problems connecting to your ISP as a result of its enabling. \n\nEnable software compression. Tick this setting to enable software (CPU) data compression for your connection. This will provide faster uploads/downloads depending on the data which is getting compressed. Should you have a Modem which can performance compression in hardware then I’d recommend you leave this setting Unticked & allow the Modem to perform any data compression – this should improve system performance slightly as the CPU will not be required to perform a task which can be done on separate, dedicated, hardware. Those would Winmodems should Tick this for optimal upload/download speeds, albeit it at the cost of some CPU cycles. \n\nNegotiate multi-link for single link connections. You can leave this setting Tick unless you experience problems connecting to your ISP (Error code 733 according to Microsoft), in which case Untick this. \n\nClick Ok after you’ve made your changes. \n\nFor the most efficient Internet connection you should Uninstall as many unnecessary Clients/Services/Protocols as possible, e.g. Client for Microsoft Networks & QoS Packet Scheduler. As you may have noticed from my Dial-up connection only Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is installed.

There can be only one way to increase the download speed- get a faster internet connection. It can be cable or DSL or any other depending whats you current connection and whats avaialble in your area.\n\nSoftware like download managers just let you effectively use whatever bandwidth is available to you. They dont increase the bandwith.

The only setting that has any real effect on your connection speed is your TCP recieve window.  This setting is found in your windows registry and if you are not an advanced user I would not reccomend tampering with this yourself.  There are a number of tweaks available on the net which will edit the registry for you.\n\nhttp://cable-dsl.home.att.net/#IncreasingWindow\n\nThis is an excellent site dealing with cable and dsl modem tweaking.  Scroll down to where it says, "Increasing TCP Receive Window for Microsoft Windows" There you should find everything you need, but be sure to back up your registry before making any modifications.\n\nTo do this go to START, RUN and type "regedit"  Click on  "registry" in the menu bar and go to export registry file, be sure to select "all" for your export range, give it an easily identifiable name and then click save. That way, if you screw up your registry, all you have to do is right click on the file and then click merge to restore your registry to its previous state.\n\nI hope this has been helpful.

The only solution is to get a faster connection.\n\nIf you have phone line, get DSL or Cable.  If you have DSL or cable, get a faster rate plan.  If you have the fastest rate plan available, go to ISDN or fractional T-1.\n\nOther then increasing your bandwith, nothing will make you go faster.  And all those programs that claim they do are just rip-offs.

Ask your ISP to make a update on your bandwidth...

Because when they say 2.5mbps, that's 2.5 megabits per second.  When you download at 300k, that's 300 kilobytes per second.  2500/8 = 312, so your download is going about as fast as it is going to go.  Getting a 10/1000 won't help if your ISP doesn't support faster than 2.5 anyway.

I think you should try this software called "Tweak-XP", this is a very good software to optimize your computer, tuning your computer run faster, also increase the internet speed.
