Dial-up takes FOREVER to load.

My dial-up takes forever to load any part of the forums on. That is why my activity has dropped a lot.

So, my question is, how to make my dial-up go a lot faster, without getting Broadband (Verizon DSL in my area is only 14 UDS Per month :@ ) but my mom STILL refuses to drop our 28 USD per month AOL Dial-up :S I don't know why, she won't tell me.

So… how do I make my dialup go a lot faster (I already modded my firefox with some tut I read here :\ Still is not fast.)

So, post people, post reasons for me to tell my mom to get DSL and ways to speed up dial-up, thx :D

Probably already know but delete temporary internet files and history maybe turn the storage down on them too speeds it up a lot

maybe your mom doesnt want you to see porno, maybe thats why she wont get dsl. I used to have dial-up when i was in india, it took me a week to download 700mbs…your activity seems pretty high. the thing at the bottom that says connected, double clcik on it, then press properties>configure and change the linkspeed to the maximum then run some tests on it,

Wait..how have you macroed for 3 weeks on dial up!? That's insane! 3 Total Weeks w/o Phone..besides cell phone. But people probably call on the normal phone. WOW. If I were you, I would take the power cord and flush it down the toilet..then she can't use no internet..either that, or in her sleep:

Walk up to her bed, take the power cord and wrap it around her neck. Pull tightly and BOOM!

Maxing out your cache settings, and enabling pre-load in fasterfox could speed up your dial-up. There is of course may pay programs that compress your data.

I used to have dial-up…it owned because my parents would let me use the internet whenever I wanted. With DSL, I'm not allowed on weekdays :p

Buckley: ;) ;)

Santa: She only lets me on like 2-3 hours per day.

IEJB: I make it so when RS says 'Error connecting to server 3+ times, it will pause script, so that is kinda how I get good stats :\ I am poor in rs :p

3 months gravedig. Not very good when your post contains so little relevancy.

Gravedigging is:
Posting something of little relevancy in a thread where the post before yours is more than 3 weeks old.

no matter what u do, u cant get faster than 56kbps with dialup, which is too slow for most websites
so if u want faster internet, the only solution is to get broadband
optimizing doesnt have much effect on the speed the page loads

your mum probably does not want you to spend too much time on the computer…you can give her your assurance that you wouldn't and maybe say a dsl can help your schoolwork or something,be tactful when talking to her about it;)
