How to improve your internet connection. Limitation in programs

Surely, each user has repeatedly experienced a sense of discomfort at moments, for example, watching a favorite movie on the Internet, when video playback stops abruptly and a buffering phenomenon is observed.

Freezing of the open page, unusually long loading of the site, disconnection of connection - all these are unpleasant consequences of the arising "congestion" on the way of transmission of information packets over the network.

Regardless of the type of connection, the methods that will be described here will in one way or another increase the speed of the Internet on windows 7, especially this article will be useful for mobile Internet users.

How to remove the internet speed limit?

Method 1: settings in the parameters of the serial port (COM1)

So, in order for us to find these parameters, we go to the device manager (Internet connection is not required now, the modem may be completely disabled): Start menu - Computer.

In the device manager, open the "Ports" item.

Here we select "Serial Port (COM1)".

Next in the window: Port parameters - in the "Bits per second" column, set the maximum value, confirm by clicking "Ok" and close all the tabs.

Method 2: tweak the reservation bandwidth limiting parameters

Let's start looking for options: Start menu - All programs - Accessories - Command line

In the command line, enter the command: gpedit .msc and press the Enter key.

In the menu that opens, look for the "Computer Configuration" item and open it.

Then open the following folders: Administrative Templates - Network - Qos Package Scheduler - Limit Reserved Bandwidth

In the window that appears, set a marker opposite the "Enable" item, and below in the "Bandwidth limitation (%):" column, enter the value - 0.

How to improve internet speed using software?

Method 3: increase internet speed with the Auslogics BoostSpeed ​​utility

For this method, you need to download and install the Auslogics BoostSpeed ​​program. This utility is available on the Internet as a free version, so you shouldn't feed the scammers! The program weighs only about 7 MB, we install it by default on the local drive C.

After installing the program, we reboot the system manually for the parameters to take effect. Before using the utility, connect the Internet and go into it through the shortcut that appears on the desktop.

Here we are interested in the "Tools" section. By clicking on it in the new menu, we find the item "Internet Acceleration".

Under it, click on the "Automatic" button, select from three possible requests for Internet speed: fast, medium or slow, in accordance with your type of network connection, rearrange the marker, start the process through the "Analysis" button.

After checking, a list of all parameters that require optimization will appear on the screen, so click “Optimize” and wait for the operation to end.

After that, a window will appear with a report on the work done and below the button "Restart".

Click on it, thereby restarting Windows to accept the new data.

What if your internet speed drops sharply?

Method 4: remove temporary files from Application Data

In Application Data (AppData folder), we only need one directory named "Temp". But to get to it, we need to first detect AppData, because it is a hidden system file.

To do this, we perform the following algorithm of actions: Start menu - Computer - Organize (button at the top of the window, on the left) - Folder and search options

Further, the view - in the window with additional parameters, go down the list down the list, find the item "Show hidden files, folders and drives", set the marker opposite it - a little higher in the list we find the column "Hide protected system files (recommended)" and uncheck the parameter - in the window with the warning, we put the consent - "Yes" - click in the previous window with the parameters of the folders "Apply".

Thus, we have removed the protective effect of invisibility from hidden system files, some of them will be found on the desktop.

Having found this folder, click on the name with the right mouse button, find it in the "Send" menu and click on "Desktop (create a shortcut)".

After all the steps, you can hide the system files again in the reverse order through the folder options. In this case, the "Temp" folder we need on the desktop will remain visible.

So what do we need the Temp folder for? When you start the browser, as well as when visiting various pages, blogs, sites, some temporary files from the network are delayed in the desired folder, which in turn slows down data transfer. Therefore, noticing a clear slowdown in page loading or a sharp drop in Internet speed, we should minimize the browser without closing it and enter the "Temp" folder.

In the "Temp" folder, select all the data and delete it using the Delete key or the right mouse button. Those files that will not be deleted are service files, the rest of the "garbage" will be in the trash can, which should be emptied immediately.

It is rare to find a person who would be completely satisfied with the speed of the Internet they use. There are methods available to improve the speed of data transmission and reception on the Internet that are well known to experienced users. Below are specific recommendations and advice on how to accelerate the Internet speed using software methods, that is, without an expensive upgrade of the equipment used and the reconstruction of communication networks.

Knowing the exact cause can effectively get rid of the problem. Unfortunately, the list of reasons is very wide and the effect on the Internet speed is often not one, but several factors at once:

• One of the main ones is the type of connection used, for example, cable, DSL or Dial Up (the latter type of connection is the slowest). If the connection is carried out via a telephone line (copper wires), then the degree of deterioration of the wires and their length have a significant effect on the speed reduction. Today, companies supplying the Internet are switching to fiber-optic cables, which allow you to get the highest possible connection speed;
• Activity of various utilities and add-ons in the Internet browser;
• Viruses;
• Congestion of popular Internet resources. Frequently visited sites are designed for high loads when working in them with a large audience, however, it happens that the servers cannot cope with the flow of visitors;
• Problems with local equipment, for example, an incorrectly configured router, outdated software versions, insufficient power of the devices used, PC components, etc.

The listed number of factors is far from complete. A separate article can be devoted to a review of the reasons, but it is more expedient to move quickly to specific methods that allow you to determine and increase the speed of the Internet.

What is the maximum speed of mobile and home internet?

There is no single answer to this simple question. In the subscriber's agreement with the company supplying communication services, the speed is always indicated, but marked "TO". Unfortunately, the maximum value prescribed in the contract with the provider is never reached in real conditions. Also, it should be noted that the values ​​in the documentation are in "Mbps". You should take into account the ratio of the usual megabyte to megabytes (1: 8). For example, in the case where the 100 Mbit / s figure is printed in the contract, this is only about 12 megabytes.

ADSL
The maximum speed of home Internet offered by providers within the framework of the ITU G.992.1 Annex A (B) ADSL technology does not exceed 12 Mbps, and ADSL2 + is twice as high. However, this popular standard is gradually becoming a thing of the past, since in practice, users using these technologies get access to the World Wide Web at speeds of no more than 8 Mbps.

Optical fiber
Twisted-pair and fiber-optic communication is increasingly used for home Internet access. Obviously, the bottleneck in this case is the use of a copper wire and, as a result, the data reception speed is not more than 100 Mbit. Although the technology allows you to get a value 10 times more, but for ordinary people for home use, gigabit speeds are rarely provided.
If only optical lines are used, then the speed values ​​can be tens of gigabits, but ordinary users are provided with from 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps.

Wi-Fi
Typically, WiFi-technology speed does not exceed 140 Mbit, while the declared value can be 300 Mbit / s. In practice, the decrease in the indicator is explained by the influence of many factors, for example, interference from electrical equipment, walls and other obstacles.

Mobile Internet

1. 2G up to 474 kbps.
2. 3G up to 42.2 Mbps.
3. 4G up to 1 Gbps.

The most convenient way is to use the "speedtest.net" service.

You need to click "Start" and wait for the results to appear on the screen. Even for beginners, it is not difficult to find out the real speed using this popular resource.
There are many services with similar functions on the Internet, for example, experienced users prefer Yandex.ru/internet. Here the test start button has a different name "Measure", but the principle of operation is the same.

Knowing ways to increase the speed of home and mobile Internet, a user can increase this important indicator by almost a third without additional costs. Below are specific recommendations that have been proven to be effective and efficient.

Remove unnecessary traffic consumers (programs, devices connected via wifi)
Not only the utilities launched by the user consume traffic, but also hidden applications that download updates, exchange statistical data with the program developer, etc. It is recommended, through the task manager, to stop the operation of applications that are not required for the system and the user.

In order to find out which applications are actively using the connection to the World Wide Web, you should use the "KS" (Command Line). To accomplish what we have planned, you will need to launch a "COP" with extended powers and take the following sequential steps:

1. Print "netstat -b 5> activity.txt";
2. Click "Enter";
3. The "KS" will display a list of the applications you are looking for;
4. Click "Ctrl" and, without releasing, click on "C";
5. A file with a list of connections will be created;
6. In the "KS" type "activity.txt";
7. Click "Enter";
8. Examine the list of applications, closing which will reduce the load on the network and increase the speed of the Internet.

Delete unnecessary toolbars or change browser and use turbo mode
Easily get rid of unused web browser toolbars to speed up your web browsing experience. Sometimes removing add-ons takes a long time or causes difficulties for novice users, so it is recommended to change the browser to a more nimble one, for example, switch from the default Internet Explorer to Chrome, Firefox or Opera. The latest browser has a turbo mode in its composition, which increases the speed of the network by almost 10%.

Check your device (PC or mobile) for viruses
Regular antivirus analysis of the memory of a PC or mobile gadget not only prevents the risks of personal information leakage, but also increases the speed of the Internet. Viruses and adware significantly slow down the network, spending traffic on their own needs. However, not every antivirus program is able to rid the PC of adware. The following utilities have worked well for their removal:

1. HitMan Pro;
2. Malwarebytes Antimalware;
3. Adw Cleaner;
4. Spybot Search & Destroy.

Disable TCP auto-tuning
To disable auto-tuning TCP_IP, you need to open a "COP" with extended privileges.

1. Print "netsh int tcp set heuristics disabled";
2. Click "Enter";
3. The "KS" will display "Ok";
4. Print "netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel = disabled";
5. Click "Enter";
6. The "KS" will display "Ok";
7. Print "netsh int tcp set global rss = enabled";
8. Click "Enter";
9. The "KS" will display "Ok";
10. Print "netsh int tcp show global";
11. Click "Enter";
12. The "KS" will display "Ok";
13. Restart "PC";
14. Ready.

To reset the TCP_IP stack to default values, you can use the command "netsh int ip reset C: \ resetlog.log". After that, you need to restart your PC.

Using the fastest DNS for the specific conditions of the user's PC connection is one of the best methods to increase the speed of the Internet.
You will need to complete the following steps:

1. Download the "NameBench" application (the utility is freely distributed in the global network);
2. Run the utility (you do not need to install it);
3. There is no need to configure the utility. Immediately click "Start Benchmark";
4. Wait;
5. A detailed report will be displayed;
6. The report shows information with optimal connection parameters, which the user can only use.

1. Click "Start";
2. Click "Computer";
3. Click RMB in the empty space of the window that appears;
4. Click on "Properties";
5. Click "DU" (Device Manager);
6. Expand the "Ports" column;
7. Click "Serial Port (COM1)";
8. Open the "Port parameters" tab;
9. Set the largest digit in the "Bit per second" item;
10. Click "Ok";
11. Ready.

How to increase internet speed on Windows 10?

You will need to perform the following actions:

1. Press with one finger on "Win" and do not release the key;
2. Click "R" with the other finger;
3. Print "gpedit.msc";
4. Expand the contents of the "PC configuration" column;
5. Enter the directory "Administrative templates Network";
6. Go to the "QoS Scheduler" subdirectory;
7. Call the context from "Restrict res. Ability";
8. Click "Change";
9. Check the box "Enabled";
10. Set "zero" as shown in the screenshot above;
11. Click "Ok";
12. Call the context from the connections icon;
13. Open the "Network Management Center";
14. Click "Change the parameters of the network card";
15. Call context from connection;
16. Click "Properties";
17. Check the box "QoS Scheduler";
18. Click "Ok";
19. Ready.

How do I improve my download speed?

If the user is thinking about how to increase the download speed of the torrent, then it is recommended to first install only the official modifications of the client on the PC. At the same time, the speed is almost not affected by which client the owner of the PC uses, free or paid. Their differences are shown in the table below.

Internet providers sometimes set limits for their subscribers in terms of the speed of torrent downloads, so you need to do the following:

1. Click on "Settings";
2. Go to the "Program settings" tab;
3. Click "BitTorrent";
4. Next, in the encryption column, select "Enabled" and check the box in the permission line;
5. Click "ok";
6. Ready.

It is not uncommon for the client to have an admission limitation configured. To remove it, you need to follow these steps:

• Open context from client icon;
• Place the arrow on the line "Reception restrictions";
• After that, a menu will unfold, where you need to put a mark in the line "Unlimited".

Owners of mobile gadgets are often dissatisfied with the speed of wireless connections of even the most modern standards, so the question of how to increase the speed of 4g Internet or Wi-Fi connections is of concern to many. It should be noted that the problem can be solved quickly and without lengthy manual adjustments. For this purpose, it is enough to install the "Internet Speed ​​Master" utility.

You will need to complete the following steps:

1. Install and run the utility;
2. In the menu that appears, tap "Provide";
3. In the case when the device is rooted, tap "Apply Patch";
4. Restart android device;
5. In the absence of root authority, tap "Improve Internet Connection";
6. Restart android device;
7. Ready. Now you can enjoy high speed internet. The program will automatically make all the settings.

If you need to roll back the settings to their original state, then tap "Restore" and then "Ok".

You will need to perform the following activities:

1. Reduce the remoteness of the PC or mobile gadget from the router;
2. Then select the most free Wi-Fi channel in the router's web configurator;
3. Update the firmware of the router;
4. Clean the device components from contamination and ensure proper cooling;
5. Replace antennas with others with high gain.

How to improve internet speed on laptop?

Sometimes on weak laptops the speed is limited by the hardware capabilities. Often, the installation of additional RAM strips allows you to get an increase in Internet speed. It is also recommended to replace the network card with a more modern one.
To get the highest possible speed of access to the global network, you should connect to it from a PC not over the air, but preferably by cable.

How to increase the speed of mobile Internet for operators?

In the contract with the subscriber, the mobile operator indicates the speed, but it never reaches the maximum values ​​in practice. You can only get closer to them by following the tips described earlier in this article. Problems with low speed through cellular communication arise mainly in the evening, when users are most active and after spending the traffic provided by operators in accordance with the connected TP, the speeds are sharply limited. To increase the speed again, each mobile company has its own USSD commands.

Beeline

Yellow-striped subscribers often experience a drop in speed of up to 64 Kbps. With such an indicator, even opening Internet pages in a browser becomes an unbearable torture and a cruel test of the user's patience. To increase the speed, you just need to extend the high-speed traffic provided by the connected plan. For this purpose, the command "* 115 * 121 #" should be used. After that, Beeline will provide 1 GB of additional traffic at unlimited speed. However, it should be borne in mind that such an extension is not free (250 rubles).

There are services with an extension for a larger and smaller volume of traffic, which can be found on "beeline.ru", respectively, their cost will be higher or lower.

MTS
MTS also has a similar service and it is called "Turbo-button 1 GB". It costs a little less than that of Beeline (175 rubles). You must use USSD "* 467 #".

Megaphone
Customers of the megaphone for 210 rubles can use the option "Extend Internet 1 GB" by entering "* 370 * 1 #".

In addition to using USSD commands, the option can be activated through the subscriber's personal account.

How to increase the Internet speed of Rostelecom?

1. 100 Mbps;
2. Turbo acceleration;
3. Night acceleration.

After installing one of the three packages that the user liked, the increased speed will be guaranteed.

Programs to increase the speed of the Internet

There are applications that optimize the network settings of hardware and Internet browsers.
Used by a large army of users around the world, the following programs have proven effective:

1. Speed ​​It Up Free;
2. Internet Speed ​​Booster;
3. Proximodo;
4. AuslogicsBoostSpeed.

Applications take up little PC memory and are easy to install, for example, the last of the above list is 7 Mb in size. It is recommended to restart the PC after installing the utility for the parameter changes to take effect.
The installed application can be launched through the icon that appears on the desktop. The menu of all utilities is intuitive, for example, in "AuslogicsBoostSpeed", you should click "Tools" and go to the "Speed ​​up Internet" tab.

For working in programs, instructions are superfluous. The user can independently choose the degree of acceleration after when optimizing the settings.

In the era of active development of modern technologies, life without the Internet is no longer possible. Thanks to the World Wide Web, we receive a lot of information, communicate with friends, read news, get acquainted with the latest movies and music, find work. Even a child knows how to find the necessary information on the Internet. The main thing is that the Internet works quickly and the search for the necessary information does not make you languish in a long wait. A modern person simply does not have time for this.

Why is the internet slow?

There are many reasons for the slow work of the Internet. But the first thing that plays a role is the speed that the contract with the provider stipulates. In any case, it will be impossible to speed up the transfer of data, to make it more than the speed stated in the contract!

Other reasons for the slowdown:

1. The operation of the QoS service in Windows, which is able to reserve sometimes up to 20% of the speed for its own needs.
2. Waiting for a response from DNS servers.
3. Hardware rendering acceleration not set.
4. An unscrupulous provider that delivers a speed several times lower than the declared one!

Simple Methods to Speed ​​Up the Internet

Despite the fact that it is not possible to physically increase the speed of the Internet, it is still possible to improve the work. To do this, they use different methods, and many of them are quite simple and understandable even for a novice user:

1. The first signs of a slowdown in the system and the Internet in particular often indicate the accumulation of unnecessary backup files, errors and unused keys that slow down the processes. To do this, you can use special programs. The most popular is Ccleaner. There are paid and free versions. Of course, advanced users may need the Pro version. But in most cases, the functions of the free program are sufficient. Ccleaner will allow you to clean the registry, delete unnecessary files, unused programs. For Windows 7 users, we also recommend the Windows 7 manager program, which helps to clean the OS deeper than Ccleaner.
2. Defragment your disk. Without this, any computer will start to work badly and slowly over time. It is convenient to carry out this process using the Auslogics Disk Defrag program, which is accessible and understandable for the user, and it does the job quickly.
3. Please update your drivers, remember to check them periodically. In this case, the Driver Genius program will help.
4. Take care of a good antivirus program. It should really provide protection for the system, and not pretend, as is often the case. Users who choose free versions of virus protection are especially at risk. They are not able to provide maximum protection, and any viruses seriously slow down the system and create additional load on the processor. Therefore, you do not need to save money on the program to protect against malicious files, your computer will thank you with excellent speed and well-coordinated work.

Add 20% speed with QoS

Another simple way to speed up the Internet is to turn off QoS and add about 20% to the available speed. To do this, you do not need to perform complex actions, climb into the system registry and expose the work of Windows 7 to danger. Everything is extremely simple.

In the start menu, launch the "Local Group Policy Editor". To do this, you can press the combination "windows" + R "or go through the start in standard programs and find the command" Run ". In the window that appears, enter the gpedit.msc command.

This command launches the editor we need, in which the user needs to perform understandable actions.

In the window, you can see the left column, in which you need to find the folders in this order "Computer configuration, then Administrative templates, and in this fold Network and QoS Packet Scheduler". In this case, on the right you can see different commands and folders, from which you need to select "Limit the reserved bandwidth". Of course, we are not using this option for the purpose of limiting - we have a completely different task. On the contrary, the system already provides for restrictions by default, which must be manually disabled.

In the window "Restrictions" you need to check the box on the item "Enable", and in the window with the numbers below, put zero. We confirm this decision with the "OK" button, close all windows and restart the computer. After the restart, the internet should work better.

As you can see, the method is quite simple, does not require specific skills and is performed within a few minutes.

Hardware acceleration

In some cases, the browser shows low speed not always, but when viewing individual pages. This is mainly due to the fact that the browser chooses software rendering instead of the hardware-accelerated rendering mode. A similar problem can occur when using an old video card or due to old drivers for it.

You can solve the problem by installing new drivers for the video card that can support hardware acceleration. When it was not possible to solve the problem in this way, most likely you will have to change the video card to a new one.

But before deciding to replace drivers or a card, you need to clarify which mode is set for the browser; for this, open the hardware acceleration item in the settings. This can be easily tracked in the Internet Explorer Tools menu, then Internet Options. There is a tab Advanced, where there is an item "Acceleration of graphics".

A checkbox next to “Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering” indicates that the system is choosing software acceleration. The check mark can be unchecked to transfer to the desired job. When there is no way to remove or add a check mark, it means that you have to tinker with updating the video card, since it simply does not support this feature.

In Mozilla Firefox, you can check the connection in the Tools menu, then Options, then Advanced - General - Browse sites. The menu should contain the item “Use hardware acceleration if possible”. Placing a checkmark in front of it confirms the choice of software acceleration, and then it must be removed.

Have you cleaned your computer of unnecessary files, updated drivers, accelerated the Internet by 20% by disabling QoS and checked that hardware acceleration is being used, but the system is still running slowly? In this case, contact your provider - it's time to buy more speed! Or it may even be necessary to change the provider if it is caught in bad faith in the delivery of services.

Video instruction

Internet speed almost never corresponds to the parameters stated in the provider's tariff. The decrease in the speed of data transmission over the network is influenced by many third-party factors, some of which you can neutralize yourself.

The speed of the Internet connection depends on the conditions for connecting the tariff plan, the operation of equipment and receiver devices.

Why is the data transfer over the network lower than the one specified in the tariff plan.

Problems with the provider

When the Internet cable is connected directly to the device (computer / laptop / Smart TV), the connection speed is regulated directly by the provider's equipment. Therefore, the parameters specified in the tariff must completely coincide or slightly differ from the data (for example, if the declared speed is 100 Mb / s, the client receives 80-100 Mb / s).

If the browser pages load more slowly than usual, the problem is directly with the communication company.

Connection via Wi-fi router

Unlike connecting the cable directly, the router acts as an intermediary in the transfer of data. When processing and transmitting data to them, the overall speed indicator is lost.

The more powerful the router, the faster it processes and retransmits the signal. But the speed in any case drops by half / one third of the total flow.

Irregular operation of receiver devices

Sometimes the speed of the Internet connection is not related to the operation of the provider or equipment. The reason is the slow operation of the receiver device - computer, laptop, telephone.

The problem lies in the overflowing RAM of the gadget, a large number of open applications or programs that receive information from the network in the background.

How to check Internet speed on Windows 7 computer?

The specified method is suitable for monitoring the speed indicator on versions of Windows 7, 8 and 10:

A more popular way of checking is the Internetometer service from Yandex with simple functionality:

Another well-known service for checking speed without leaving your browser is the international resource Speedtest. More details about working with it are shown in the video.

How to increase the speed of the Internet through a Wi-fi router?

Sometimes a reboot is required to restore normal operation of the router. To do this, you must turn off the electronic device from the network for a couple of minutes. When turned on again, you can press the "Reset" key.

If that doesn't work, try changing the range of your router. It sometimes coincides with the frequency of other radio devices in the room - wireless camera, telephone, etc. the standard value is 2.4 GHz. Some modern models can be switched to 5 GHz.

Check what percentage of the output power is set in the settings of the router - perhaps it was initially programmed for defective work:

The setup data is based on the Asus RT-N12E router model. The configuration of other routers may vary depending on the manufacturer or model.

How to increase internet speed on a computer or mobile device?

Later versions of the Windows operating system automatically set the speed limit. By removing it, you can achieve faster data transfer:

Save the new settings and reboot the device.

It would be useful to check the Task Manager for background applications. Some of them use networks to maintain operational efficiency, selecting traffic that is needed elsewhere:

Important! In some types of operating networks, you must additionally click "Processes" and then "Network" in the window that appears before the list appears.

Close those programs that usually use the Internet and you do not need at the moment. If you are in doubt about how closing the program will affect the operation of your computer or your further work with the device, it is better to leave it enabled.

Phone acceleration

Clearing unnecessary files and clearing the cache will help speed up the work in Internet applications on the phone. To do this, you need to download the free CC-Cleaner or CleanMaster application - the programs are similar to each other.

Both applications have an intuitive interface that is understandable from the first opening. With their help, you can perform the following actions:

• scanning the device for garbage;
• fast cleaning;
• deep cleaning of the device;
• cleaning the cache.

In addition, closing background applications allows you to offload the work of the smartphone for accelerated processing of the worldwide network.

How to improve internet speed using software?

The Auslogics BoostSpeed ​​computer extension further accelerates the throughput of the device on which it is installed. The free version can be downloaded on the Internet - installation is performed in a standard way.

After rebooting Windows, the Internet on the device should start to run faster.

Periodic computer hygiene will keep your device at optimal bandwidth and internet speed at all times.

Checking connected devices

The Internet works slower if several devices are connected to it at once (laptops, tablets, smartphones).

Especially a lot of traffic is needed for those who constantly download media files (video, audio, images).

Regular antivirus checks

The overall speed of a device directly affects how it works with Internet applications. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically (preferably once a week) check the system for malicious virus programs.

Removing unnecessary toolbars

Often, browsers accumulate a lot of unnecessary functions, buttons, transitions, overloading its work and affecting the work of web pages.

It is recommended to delete unnecessary hotkeys and browser extensions.

Clearing the browser cache

Cache is the browser's conditional memory, which accumulates the remnants of downloaded pages, files, applications. An overflowing cache interferes with your full Internet experience, so don't forget to clean it up.

Disable background apps

Some extensions required to bypass various blockings (for example, VPN) should be disabled outside of business hours. They take away excess traffic.

Change browser

Some browser add-ons are difficult or impossible to remove, which is why over time it starts to slow down, regardless of clearing the cache and other actions.

It is enough to remove it and replace it with a new one. Moreover, the variety allows: Google Chrome, Yandex, Opera, Mozilla Firefox.

Video - How to Increase Internet Speed

Internet speed determined the maximum amount of data that the device sends or receives per unit of time.

The first step is note to the contract and the conditions specified therein provided by the provider. To get better conditions than those indicated in the document, it is not enough to change the settings inside the computer - you will need new tariff plan. In addition, the provider can be overloaded when a large number of subscribers are simultaneously online. The resources requested by the user sometimes contain capacious images or web fonts that take additional time to load.

There are also factors another kind, which can be changed when restrictions are imposed by the user, although he himself may not know about this:

• restrictions installed by the operating system by default;
• Problems related to the router and its firmware;
• restrictions other running utilities or programs.

The reason for a bad Internet connection can sometimes be hidden behind malfunction the network card of the device, which simply cannot receive packets of files at a higher speed. However, most often this problem can be solved by settings system parameters.

Configuring the speed limit for Internet access

Windows 10 Out of the box supports limitation by 20%.

To reassign this value, you need to follow a sequence of simple steps:

The 20% of the bandwidth reserved by Windows is used mainly during the download period of various system updates, which occurs approximately every 2 weeks. At other times, this parameter does not apply, so many advanced users mark only "relative" advantage received after overriding it.

Checking the speed limit in programs

This problem is often overlooked, cause what serves them standard setting on the speed limit. Bright example such a program is Utorrent.

On the right side of the taskbar, there is an upward-pointing arrow, the so-called tray. It contains applications running in the background. Here you need to click on program icon right-click and select " Restriction of admission»In the context menu. Selecting the setting " Not limited"Will allow you to upload files from maximum quickness.

It is worth noting that Utorrent receives a lot of complaints related to speed downloads.

Checking the network load through the task manager

Developers update their products from time to time. This often happens in the background and is not obvious to the user. You can view detailed analytics on this subject using “ Task manager", Which is invoked by the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+ Alt+ Del or by clicking " Start»Right-click, after which a context menu with the required utility will open.

It is necessary here close unused applications that "eat up" part of the network resource. In addition, the continued use of a significant portion of the traffic can signal the presence of virus...
