How To Optimize Dsl Connection
DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. The transmission throughput of DSL is symmetrical in downstream (from a company to a subscriber) and upstream (from a subscriber to a company) directions. The term "Optimize DSL connection" means enhancing your DSL connection in order to get the maximum speed from your DSL connection. You can call it a MYTH because according to my view there is no such thing as optimizing DSL connection. How can you get something for which you haven't paid? Why do you think that Internet providing companies will allow you to so at the cost of their goodwill and money? The answer to the above question is very simple, NO. No company will allow you to do so because they are not running a Non-Profit organization. But still there are some people that tricks like optimize DSL connection will work for them. There are a lot of websites that claim that there software or application is the best and will help you optimize your connection to the maximum. Some even say that they will boost the connection to 375%. Ask yourself a very simple question? Why should you believe them? A layman's answer to this question will be that unless and until they show some genuine proof he/she will not be ready to take their service. The true fact is that there is no such thing like Optimize DSL connection.
However, you can only improve your connection a bit, reduce error loss and that's it, nothing more than that. You might have read somewhere on the internet that xxxxxxx software can boost your speed to 375% or 400%. You really get attracted to the ad and download there software for free for which you don't have to pay anything. You install the software and run it on your computer. The software shows that your TCP is not optimized, your RWIN is not optimized, MTU is not optimized, etc. So, did you notice anything strange in that? Nothing is optimized! Now, the software will optimize everything and for that they will charge a small fees in between 30$-50$. Even after you pay them the money you internet connection might show you a little increase and you might feel that 'YES' the software has really increased the speed. But, my dear, you are wrong the software only modified few settings that you could have done for free and you noticed a small increase in your speed. If you want to notice a small increase in your speed without paying a single penny then do the following: 1. Clear your browser's history once in a month. Although, not clearing your browser's history will make your pages load faster as these pages are stored in your hard disk and if the page hasn't changed the browser's loads the same page from hard disk. But, this should be done in order to clear your browser cache. 2. Check your system for spywares because spyware applications are the ones that keeps running on your system without your permission. Some of them even use your bandwidth in order to collect your surfing information. 3. In order to utilize your maximum bandwidth while downloading applications or games, always use a download manager. You can try Flashget. These download managers tries to make maximum simultaneous to the website from where your are downloading, and this way your speed is utilized to maximum extent possible. Also, these download manager's supports RESUME function so you can pause the downloading process, in case, you need to browse important websites. At last, remember that there is no such thing as 'Optimize DSL Connection'. |
