• Sudden and abrupt disconnections
which are not only irritating but also hampers a great deal of
work.
• Slow internet connectivity which prevents the user from
performing efficiently.
The use of the internet has
dramatically risen in the last few years. This has given rise to
a great demand for very high speed internet connectivity. These
high-speed internet connections are capable of downloading huge
files within a very realistic time limit. For example the old 28
kbps modem does not have the capacity to play online games.
However, before installing a new hardware and spending a fortune
on these services it is necessary to ensure that the current
connection has been used to the fullest. It is interesting to
note that most of the so called “slow net services” can be
speeded up by making a few changes in the present settings. In
most of the cases, the user can increase the speed by 10 to 50%. |

To develop the speed of the
internet, the first step should be to determine the connectivity
speed at any given point of time. There are quite a few online
speed tests are available on the net that are effective and
free. Moreover, if the user requires a pretty regular speed
test, the software SpeedUpMyPC can be used. SpeedUpMyPC is very
user friendly software and also very useful in scrutinizing
bandwidth usage as well as computing the connection speed at any
time. Monitoring the bandwidth usage proves to be particularly
helpful in making the optimal use of the connection; this is
because any unused bandwidth or slow servers can be easily
detected. It also stores the bandwidth information for about one
hour thus enabling the consumer to keep a record of the long
term bandwidth usage along with detecting any unnecessary
traffic flow. SpeedUpMyPC assists the user to test his
connection speed between his system and a web server on the
internet. To get a very precise outcome of the measurement the
consumer can plug in to a site that is hosted by a server which
is close to his geographic area. The accurate result can be used
to monitor performance by altering the different settings of the
computer.
Even for a layman who is not Tec
savvy, SpeedUpMyPC can provide a great assistance. With the aid
of a few clicks, it identifies the type of connection and then
calculates and implements the best possible setting for that
link.
There are quite a few Internet Speed Boosters available in
today’s market. They are all equipped with a variety of features
to provide the consumer with the best of the facilities. A few
of these software's are listed below:
• Robust internet speed booster
This software claims to increase the browser speed by almost
400%! Robust Internet Speed Booster is user friendly and can act
as an Internet optimizer for Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000 and
XP. Once installed, this automatically makes the necessary
changes in the Windows Registry setting to boost the internet
speed. It is compatible with all the modems and high speed LAN,
ISDN, CABLE, DSL and other such connections. It functions with
all web browsers hence this software is of great use even after
the up gradation is performed.

• Internet connection booster 2000
This software operates in the same way as that of Robust.
Moreover, it is responsible for altering and setting the several
“hidden” configuration parameters that are used by the Internet
Protocol, TCP/IP under Windows 95 and 98.
• OSS internet speed booster
BBMonitor is a bandwidth meter that has the ability to monitor
the internet connection real time and puts away all the
information into an MS Access database so that the data can be
transferred into any application. The information stored can be
utilized in sorting out problems related to internet connection.
BBMonitor should also be used to ascertain that the speed
boosters are actually increasing the speed instead of reducing
it.
