I work on the internet. I play games on the internet. I also spend time shopping, banking, and learning new things on the internet as well. As we spiral off into the 21st century the amount of time people spend on the internet will only increase. It would be nice to have the fastest connection available.
While the top end speed of your internet connection is dependent upon your equipment, and the type of connection you pay your service provider for, there are also settings on your computer you can change to speed up your web-surfing time.
The following article will give you tips to increase your computers speed. Don't click away yet. I am not a techno-geek and I was able to understand and implement these changes with only my mouse and my keyboard. It was really easy:

I applied the knowledge I gained, and it is really true! My connection is faster, I am accessing the entire internet at a quicker rate. One of these tips involves changing the servers that you use to lookup internet addresses.
If you are skeptical about routing your internet access requests through foreign servers, don't worry. You can go to http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/ptr.ch?ip=127.0.0.1 , other wise known as the "reverse dns lookup" on wikipedia, and if you put in the IP addresses from the article (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220) at the end of the previous url after the "ip=" you can see that the website is www.opendns.com
Hopefully the next time you check this blog it will be on a faster internet.
