Hi, i just want to know if you can actually speed up your internet connection using software such as Internet Accelerator or TCP Optimizer, do they really work?
Is there any other way of getting a faster connection other than the obvious, deleting cookies etc.

Emylawson, not knowing your location it is a bit hard to answer. The speed is controlled by your ISP (Internet Service Provider), so whatever speed you receive depends on them, the plan you have with them and there are a few other factors involved like distance etc. I would NOT trust any accelerators and do not use them at all. The main thing is to keep your system up to date. Clear out old files. Run anti virus weekly, ensure you have a good firewall installed and run Ad-Aware daily. Also clean and defrag your hard drive(s) when required.

Hope this helps in some small way. Post back if you want more detailed information.
