    Default Dial-up takes FOREVER to load.

    My dial-up takes forever to load any part of the forums on. That is why my activity has dropped a lot.

    So, my question is, how to make my dial-up go a lot faster, without getting Broadband (Verizon DSL in my area is only 14 UDS Per month :@ ) but my mom STILL refuses to drop our 28 USD per month AOL Dial-up :S I don't know why, she won't tell me.

    So... how do I make my dialup go a lot faster (I already modded my firefox with some tut I read here :\ Still is not fast.)

    So, post people, post reasons for me to tell my mom to get DSL and ways to speed up dial-up, thx

    ~Harry

    Probably already know but delete temporary internet files and history maybe turn the storage down on them too speeds it up a lot

    maybe your mom doesnt want you to see porno, maybe thats why she wont get dsl. I used to have dial-up when i was in india, it took me a week to download 700mbs...your activity seems pretty high. the thing at the bottom that says connected, double clcik on it, then press properties>configure and change the linkspeed to the maximum then run some tests on it,

    Wait..how have you macroed for 3 weeks on dial up!? That's insane! 3 Total Weeks w/o Phone..besides cell phone. But people probably call on the normal phone. WOW. If I were you, I would take the power cord and flush it down the toilet..then she can't use no internet..either that, or in her sleep:

    Walk up to her bed, take the power cord and wrap it around her neck. Pull tightly and BOOM!

    Maxing out your cache settings, and enabling pre-load in fasterfox could speed up your dial-up. There is of course may pay programs that compress your data.

    3 months gravedig. Not very good when your post contains so little relevancy.

    Gravedigging is:
    Posting something of little relevancy in a thread where the post before yours is more than 3 weeks old.

    no matter what u do, u cant get faster than 56kbps with dialup, which is too slow for most websites
    so if u want faster internet, the only solution is to get broadband
    optimizing doesnt have much effect on the speed the page loads
