744230 2009-02-02 06:41:00 Hi to all, now ive seen that DSL companies give the same router or modem for different DSL speeds, so my question is, is there a way to get more speed than what they give you, like if they give you 1 MB and you want more than that, is it possible? JOYBEBA6679 (10686)
744231 2009-02-02 06:55:00 Probably not unless you want to pay for it, or your speed gets lowered Speedy Gonzales (78)
744232 2009-02-02 07:59:00 In about 95% of plans the only part of the dsl connection that is throttled is the upload.The download is usually uncapped,so you get all the line will give you,and you can't get more than that.Speeds will differ slightly with different modems but usually in the area of only of say a couple of hundred K's,and they will change connection rates most resync a little anyway.

But bad copper wires can significantly affect your net performance. That's why fibre-optic cables carries faster internet.

The biggest problem here is the ISP's limit: there's no use trying to optimise your internet since you're juggling limited resources instead of getting more of them.
