Clean Up Your PC

• When a person browses the Internet, the computer will automatically store files in the form of cache, cookies and temporary Internet files. Over time, this huge pile of unnecessary data will start dragging down your browsing session, making it slower. The best way to correct this is by cleaning up. Search through your computer or browser and locate the cache, cookie and temporary Internet files. You can then delete them to gain a faster browsing experience.
  
  

Upgrade Your Software and Hardware

• Another way to speed up your Internet is by using the latest browser and operating system versions. This will ensure you to have the best and latest support and service from your providers. You can tweak your software system by constantly checking for browser and operating system updates. Remove any toolbars in your browser and install fewer programs on your PC to ensure that the hard-drive and RAM is not slowed by unnecessary programs. Don't forget to use a trustworthy anti-virus program to protect your PC from worms, Trojans and malwares, as each of these can infect and slow a computer tremendously.
  
  

Internet Provider

• Getting a higher Internet speed from your cable provider can be one of the most beneficial tools for speeding up your Internet. A higher Internet speed provides faster download and upload speeds as well as more broadband width. All of these factors add up to quicker operating speeds when surfing the Web. Always ensure that your computer hardware, including the RAM, is capable of handling the increased Internet speeds provided by your Internet provider.
