Internet has been a good source for information managing, exchanging and obtaining. Users of internet are increasing year – by – year.

Sometimes, it has been seen that, even a high speed internet cannot provide the speed up to the mark. Here are some solutions to increase the speed of an internet connection with easy and user friendly solutions.

• Tabbed browsing is very useful while surfing internet. However, opening too many tabs at a time leads to unstable and slow browsing. Never open more than three tabs at a time of a single browser. If you want more than three tabs opened, use other browser to open those additional tabs.

• Torrent client/downloader, processes using the resource of internet connection should be killed at the time of browsing.  These things eat up much of your internet connection speed, and hence, you have to make up your mind with slow browsing speed.

There are many types of software available over the internet, claiming for increase in the speed of your internet connection. However, at least, in my honest opinion, there is no such software that can INCREASE your internet speed. 30 % of them are spam/malwares. Moreover, these software increase cache sizes, which can increase speed only for a while. Hence, do not fall prey of these software.
