Increase your Internet Browsing speed

Here are some tried and tested(by me) tips to increase your internet Browsing Speed.
They are sure to work. See how many you know about, and comment if you know any better ones :). Originally posted by a friend "somewhere", but hell they work, so that's nothing no one can complain about.

To increase ur BB speed do the following steps :
1) check the quality of cabling for any distortion.( ideally ur BSNL telephone will give a clear sound )
2) check the firmware of ur router/modem (from manufacturer wesite) which should be latest
3)Hard reset ur modem/router for 15sec.
4)Try using a static DNS address (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220)
5)Also, there’s nice little tweak for XP. Microsoft reserve 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes. This also affects your Broadband peformance. You can get back this 20% as follows:
Click Start–>Run–>type “gpedit.msc” without the “
This opens the group policy editor. Then go to:
Local Computer Policy–>Computer Configuration–>Administrative Templates–>Network–>QOS Packet Scheduler–>
Limit Reservable Bandwidth
Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the ‘Explain’ tab :
“By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this
setting to override the default.”
So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO.
This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.
6) Identify the IRQ used by the NIC/USB modem

Open the System Information tool by running MSINFO32.EXE from the Run command.
Expand System Summary > Hardware Resources > IRQs.
Look for the listing made for your NIC (in my case - a Intel® PRO/100+ Management Adapter). Note the IRQ next to the specified line (in my case - IRQ21)
AFTER THAT!!
Modify the system.ini file

Run SYSEDIT.EXE from the Run command.
Expand the system.ini file window.
Scroll down almost to the end of the file till you find a line called [386enh].
Press Enter to make one blank line, and in that line type IrqX=4096 where X is the designated IRQ number we found in step #1, in my case it’s IRQ21.

Note: This line IS CASE SENSITIVE!!!

Click on the File menu, then choose Save.
Close SYSEDIT and reboot your computer.
Done. Speed improvement will be noticed after the computer reboots.

7) USE DAP
8) Use opera browser by blocking images and gif animation ! This will save ur Bandwidth by 40%. ( u will be able to surf more in less bandwidth/Mb of usage)
