How to speed up my internet connection?

I am using internet connection, dial up. It gives only practically 20 kbps. I have heard of that in the internet there is a software program which can boost up my internet speed in many multiplication. Should I use those software to boost up my conncetion speed. Are those free to use or free to try pack active speed software package safe to use. Will they hack my computer? Any suggestions will be highly favored.

Answer #1

My experience, anything I did dial-up made little difference - I’m now broadband, but I learned 2 things in the switch - On dial-up: 1) even though I had programs who would self-update, in reality, they were never doing so because when they dialed ‘mother ship’ for the update, the attempt took so long that my computer thought the site was just busy and time out on trying - when in reality the site was not busy 2) I watched a video on dialup, the loading indicator indicated fully loaded - it wasn’t until I got high-speed, watching the same video, did I discover I had only viewed 1/3 of that same video - dialup had showed it fully loaded…go figure !…Take care !!

Try this http://www.thefreesite.com/Free_Software/dial_up_freeware/

Plus there are many more programs to help do the same thing. They really don’t speed things up that much though. If I was you I would go ahead & spend the extra money to get a broadband service. Some come with really good deals & very affordable.
