    what do I need to speed up my internet connection? I use Dial-Up, the internet is really fast but my computer doesn't agree to that... what do I need to upgrade? [windows 98 AMD-K6™-lll-Processor and was well as an 256 SD RAM...

    Google solves all.

    Also, try testing your speed, and calling the company if it is too slow

    You cant speed up your internet connection, although some products claim to do so it is impossible.

    try buying a cheap sempron and tossing the 256mb DDRam into that, 80$ of computer hardware can really boot an outdated computer, FYI most people are on k8s now...

    Dial up cant be sped up no matter what. Broadband is your only option.

    true...ur only options are dsl or cable (aka broadband)

    some companies like netzero, etc. say they can but or internet connection is only as fast as the amount of megabytes it gets. Dial-up usually gets around 56 meg

    On the other hand my internet gets 5000 megs and verizon dsl gets 768 megs

    so i hate to say it u will have to get broadband but u could do an accelorator

    also try getting a spyware program and doing a sweep...sometimes a good sweep makes a huge difference in the speed of ur comp and ur internet

    Well if you have to have dialup like said before an internet accelerator should work, and for everybody that says dialup cant be sped-up it can but in other was such as compressing graphics, eliminating popups, and keeping a good amount of ram free. No browser can actually increase the physical speed of your connection but they can still make pages load faster and stuff.

    I got dial up too and I've tried a ton of "Internet Accelarators" either theyre **** or theyre packed with spyware and adware.... I downloaded a firefox tuner and belive it or not I downloaded at 1 Mb/s on dial up so a browser tuner might help...
