Rufio Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 The web browser you are using doesn't usually determine the speed of your internet connection There are rare cases, such as if you are on an OLD computer or you are running an extremely outdated version of your browser. In those cases you might run into your browser or your computer being what is slowing down your connection. The connection speed you described: 1757 down, 550 up; sounds an awful lot like you have Satellite internet or DSL. If that is the case then the only possible way you'll be able to increase your speed is to find a different internet provider, one that isn't satellite or DSL. Preferably check if Cable or Fios is available in your area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul350 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 There are several ways to increase your browser speed. The first one is to make sure that you clean out the old sites on a regular basis. While most experts recommend that you do this at least once a week, if you do a lot of searching, then you may need to do it on a daily basis. In addition, make sure that you install a good virus program and keep it updated. There are so many viruses that can slow down your speed and cause other problems to the computer. Finally, your computer may have add-ons placed on it that you did not even know was there, so make sure to check them on a regular basis.
