But the fun doesn't stop there, there are tons of more tweaks waiting for you at our site. Visit IncreaseInternetSpeed.net for more such tweaks! So.. lets start, should we?

This method works for DSL or Cable connections only.

Okay, the pre-requistes:

SpeedGuide.net's SG TCP Optimizer
You'll need this first. This program modifies
your registry to increase your internet speed.

Lvllord's Patch
You'll need these to increase TCP connections
of your computer. (More on this later)

Step 1: Modifying your LAN Properties.

a) Go to Start>Network Connections.

b) Right Click>Properties on your main Internet connection.

c) Make the following changes: [Unselect everything except "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)"































Step 2: Running Lvllords Patch.

In Win XP SP 1, TCP connections were set to unlimited. However, Microsoft limited these connections to 10 in SP2. You can open more TCP connections and give your speed an all time high by following these steps:

a) Extract the patch and run it:





b) Press "C" to change the limit and set it to 100.





c) Press "Y". After you do that, you'll be prompted with a Windows XP message saying that your original files are being replaced and blah blah. Thats normal so DONT PANIC. Click "Ignore" or "Cancel" to that window, and press "Yes" after it asks for a confirmation.

d) You'll get a message that your patch was successfully executed. Exit and reboot your computer. Don't forget to Bookmark this page (Hit CTRL D) so you can return once you've rebooted.

3) SG TCP Optimizer - using it!

Back already? Cool! So, this is where you use SpeedGuide's TCP Optimizer. How? Its your lucky day, my friend.

a) This program modifies your system registry (Nothing to worry about!) in order to boost your Internet speed. Here's what you have to do:





b) Choose your connection speed - mine is 256 kbps. Go down and select "Optimal Settings". Click on Apply changes after that. You'll be promoted with a box somewhat like this after that:





c) Click OK, and click "Yes" to reboot your computer. Thats all you need to have a full-on High Speed Internet Connection! Enjoy browsing, and don't forget to check out other tweaks & guides present on our site. Follow the link to visit our site for a High Speed Internet Connection.
