I live in a student accommodation complex and the internet here is ridiculously slow when there are a lot of other people online. I’ve been told there is a way to direct a larger percentage of the total internet speed to my computer. Is this possible and if so how?

    No matter how fast your Internet connection is, there are times when things will slow down to a crawl. I will help you sort out what kinds of things can go wrong, learn what you can do about them, and discover how to get the most from your Internet connection.

    1. The type of connection you have makes a difference
    The type of Internet connection you use is the most important factor in determining your connection speed. The three most common ways to connect to the Internet from home are dial-up, DSL, and cable. If you have a choice, cable is usually the fastest, but both DSL and cable are faster than dial-up.
    2. Computer woes: spyware, viruses, and other programs
    The health of your computer can affect your Internet connection. Spyware and viruses can definitely cause problems, but your Internet connection speed can also be affected by add-on programs, the amount of memory the computer has, hard disk space and condition, and the programs that are running.
    Two of the most frequent causes of poor Internet performance are spyware and viruses. Spyware can slow your system by interfering with your browser and monopolizing your Internet connection. Spyware monitors your Internet use and keystrokes, which adds delays. The problem is compounded when there are multiple spyware programs running at the same time. If the problem is severe enough, you can lose connectivity altogether. To get your Internet performance back, you should regularly run an antispyware program to clean out any spyware infestation.
    Scan for spyware and other potentially unwanted software.

    Rocket,

    Your reply is totally not answering the question. He indicates that he lives in a student accomodation. The reason why his connection is so slow is due to an overload of users, not because he has spyware or an dialup connection. I can see his problem, since I’m encountering it myself. So if there is any way to attract bandwidth (like a magnet or something) to your own computer, it would also be very glad to know it.

    1. Unplug the Internet wire
    2. Plug it into ur ass hole
    3. Insert it as deep as you can
    4. After 30 minutes unplug it from ur ass hole and plug it again into ur computer

    Lonely, please take a large knife, stick it in pooper, then proceed to jump in front of a heavy goods vehicle.

    This will solve the pollution problem you cause by existing.

    Good day

    To boost a connection create two connection from the same server with two different name and merge these networks. Usually you can do this in 3 steps:-
    1) Set up 2 Networks from Add Network Options
    2) Go to Network and Sharing Center found in Control Panel
    3) Check for Merging Option and Merge the 2 network.
    I hope this solve your problem.
