Ok then, time to speed up your internet connection.  Let’s get started.

Step One - Internet Speed Software:   First let’s get the necessary Tools and Utilities needed to complete the steps in these instructions.  Download them to your desktop for easy access when we’re ready to use them.

• FireFox - If you already have Firefox, you can skip downloading the Firefox browser.  But if not, you’ve been missing out on faster smarter web browsing. We’re going to change that NOW - You Need to  Download Here 
• FireTune - We’ll need this free software component to optimize the FireFox browser for maximum speed, security, and smarter browing.  Get FireTune Here.
• Lvllord patch - We’ll use this patch to increase the number of TCP connections (don’t worry if you don’t know TCPs from ABCs - Just follow my steps)  Download the free Lvllord patch.
• SG TCP Optimizer - The last Internet speed software we’ll need is the SG TCP Optimizer utility from SpeedGuide.  Download SG TCP Optimizer.

Now that you have the necessary software downloaded, we can get started optimizing your internet connection for speed.

Step Two - Time for the Optimization Steps

Part 1 - Modify LAN Properties

• Go to Start > Network Connections.
• Right Click > Properties on your main internet connection.
• Make the following changes: Unselect everything except "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)"

Part 2 - Run the Lvllords patch

With WinXP Service Pack 2, Microsoft limited TCP connections to 10. Running the Lvllords patch will add more TCP connections and increase your speed.

• Extract the patch and run it (see example):

• Change the limit - Press "C" and set it to 100.

• Press "Y". You’ll then be presented with with a Windows XP message saying that your original files are being replaced. Click "Ignore" or "Cancel" for that window, and choose "Yes" when asked for confirmation
• If the Lvllords patch was successfully executed, you’ll get a ‘SUCCESS’ message.
• Exit and reboot your computer. Don’t forget to Bookmark this page (Hit CTRL+D) so you can return once you’ve rebooted.

Step Three -  Perform the SG TCP Optimization

Now it’s time to use the SG TCP optimizer you downloaded from SpeedGuide. This program modifies and optimizes the system registry, increasing your internet connection speed.  Here’s how you do it.

• Choose your connection speed (mine is 256k).  Then, scroll down and select ‘Optimal Settings’. Next, click on ‘Apply Changes’. You’ll be presented with a window similar to the one below:

• Click OK,  and then and click "Yes" to reboot your computer. (Bookmark this page first if you’ve not already not done that).
  

Step 4 - Your almost done: Run FireTune

I’m assuming that you’re already using FireFox, or have downloaded and installed it per Step 1. 

• Install FireTune. After installation and before proceeding, Click on ‘Create backup configuration’.

• Choose the settings based on your needs and computer configuration. Check out the other two tabs - ‘Other Optimizations’ & ‘Other Useful Settings’ as well.
• Now Click ‘Tune It’  (the FireFox browser should NOT be open).

Step 5 - That’s it!  

You’ve completed optimizing your internet browser and connection settings.

But Wait!  What About Your PC… Is it Optimized?

Tweaking your web browser and internet connection settings will increase your internet speed, but it’s really just half of the equation.  If your computer’s system settings are outdated, your registry needs repair, and/or your PC’s hardware/software is unoptimized, you’ll NEVER experience the full speed capabilities you’re paying your internet service provider for. 

So… Now that you’ve optimized your Internet connection in the steps above, I suggest you now Optimize Your PC! 

At the very least, do a registry scan to check for errors and empty keys.  If the scan finds your PC is error free and optimized, great.  If running a scan finds errors and other issues, then you can fix them and really boost your internet speed and overall performance. 

I use Reg Cure for this.  It’s an automated and complete solution, which is why I recommend it for folks who are not comfortable poking around in their registry and making changes themselves. However, Reg Cure’s ‘advanced’ interface offers techies and geeks control over the process.  The Reg Cure free registry scan is a full, thorough scan.  Here’s where you can

download the Reg Cure free scan

Note: As typical for file downloads, your browser will open this download in a pop-up window.  You may need to turn OFF pop-up blocking to get at the download.  You can also temporarily disable pop-up blocking by holding down the the SHIFT key and Ctrl key together.

Now, Enjoy faster internet speed, and the fact that you did it yourself using free internet speed software and my step-by-step guide. If you’ve found my free instructions showing how to speed up your internet connection useful, Please do show your support by using the ‘Spread the Word’ tool to share this page at your favorite social bookmarking service.  You’ll find the ‘Spread the Word’ bookmarker towards the bottom of this page.  Thanks a bunch!
