    I have wireless internet. I have an SMC 108Mbps PCI installed. My speed connection is 108Mbps and my RX Rate is usually 72-98Mbps(whatever that means); but I want to improve my internet speed to the FULLEST.
    Does anyone have any suggestions to improve internet speed to the fullest or are there any programs/software that can do that

    DSL Speed - Online Optimize DSL Speed To Max. DSL Speed Test And More

    This program is SUPPOSTED to help increase internet connection speed. I have no idea if it works or not, but give it a try anyway. I'll like to hear the results.

    I tried it on mine but my network card can only support so much speed, so I doubt the program did much. Try it!

    I connect at 100 Mbps and my d/l speed is aboue 260 kb/s. And I'm pretty sure DSL Speed works also for your setup. I'm not entirely sure, but I think DSL is more than just a wired connection. Can't it be wireless?

    I bet it should be your Network Card speed not the internet connection speed.

    I've read more about that and that software is only helpful if your direct download links is slow

    If they are already fast, this software hardly or not at all have an impact

    108Mbps is your connection from your wireless network card to your wireless router. To improve your signal from the router position your wireless router in a central location. Move it away from any interference such as microwaves or cordless phone, in most cases you probably won't even notice, unless your microwave and phone are in use all the time.
    Note: Wired LAN is still the best connection to have.

    If you want to imporve you actual connection to the internet itself, you might have to speak to your ISP to upgrade it...

    What is your advertised speed from your ISP?
