I have Win XP Home and DSL. I suppose to be have a download speed of 1.7 meg. I'm only getting 100KB right now. How can I configure Win XP to increase my download speed?

Thanks!




What steps have you taken to make sure that it is not something other than windows XP - like your ISP, your modem, your line condition, the site which you are downloding from etc

Does your ISP provide a speed tester (That connects to a local server).

If you are only getting 100K on a 1.7 meg connection, you should be talking to your ISP tech support
