I just signed up for Comcast internet the 15mbps service and when i went to dslreports sites it's telling me that my download speed is topping out at about 3mbps does anybody have any ideas how to increase my speed is my hardware in the computer.
Processor type: Intel pentium 4 1.6GHZ Ram 512 MB. Its a dell optiplex 4400 if that helps and yes it's an old computer but a friend gave it to me for free.
So is it the computer that is limiting my speed or something else and if it is, are there any suggestions as far as upgrades that will help me. I am on a tight budget so something that is economical but good.
Basically Internet speed (browsing and downloading) depends on the ISP you choose, but it can be increased up to some extent by making following changes.
• Go to 'Run', type 'gpedit.msc' and press enter key. • Now go to 'Administrative Templates' in 'Computer Configuration' • Go to 'Network' > QoS Packet Scheduler > Limit Reservable Bandwidth. • Enable the bandwidth limit and raise it to 40-50 %.
Your ISP will, then, allow you to experience a new browsing and downloading speed.
