If you guys use Firefox or mozilla for your internet browser then you can tweak it to go faster by following the directions. Its so amazing some of my friends showed me this and it does actually speed up your internet for firefox or mozilla.

1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit
return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web
page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will
make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number
like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer.
Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to
"0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before
it acts on information it recieves

BOO YA :)

On dialup I see a huge difference in the display speed. Not the actual internet but how quick data shows up on the page :) Thanks

Cheers for that, I can't quite recognise if its made a significant difference, but maybe just slighty.
Take care now :)

no, its not only for networks you can buy it for yourself but it costs like 250$ a month or something like that.
