Cable Speed Test - booster software effectively increases cable modem speed

Your PC is probably infected with adware & spyware if:

  • You have downloaded music online
  • Your PC is running extremely slow
  • You are pestered by those horrible popup ads
  • Your homepage keeps changing
 

Believe it or not there are things you can do to get faster cable modem speed without buying new hardware or a new computer. A cable speed test can help you improve your already fast high speed internet connection.

Let me be clear right from the start... different people experience different results. Some users will experience cable modem internet speed improvements of over 200%, other users may only see small gains and a few will even find their performance slow down.

Your ISP could make some changes... that's not likely to happen, but you have the power to change your own computer settings to improve cable modem speed.

Optimize Your Computer for Fast Cable Modem Internet Access Speed

When you brought your new computer home it most likely came with "factory" internet speed settings. These speed settings may be OK to connect to the internet but they haven't been optimized for fast cable modem internet speed access through a network card. High speed cable modems work best with different settings.

There are two ways of changing these internet speed settings. The hard way is to manually make changes to the registry... not recommended for most computer users.

The easiest and simplest way is to use a cable modem booster software or cable modem accelerator software to make the changes for you. There are a number of cable modem booster or cable modem accelerator products on the market.

The internet booster software will test cable speed and do a window tweak to your computer's registry, which can improve the performance of your TCP/IP connection on a cable modem or DSL modem.

Here's how to get started...

First get a cable modem booster or cable modem accelerator product like webRocket or TurboSurfer. Then let the software perform a cable speed test so you'll have some data to compare before the cable speed test and after the cable speed test. Don't make any changes to your computer yet.

Next, download a large file from the web like a service pack or updated driver from your computer manufacturer. Make sure you are not being tricked by some caching along the way... download the file a couple of times and compare the download times.

Now run the cable modem booster or cable modem accelerator software again and make the changes to your computer settings. This should only be a few clicks of a mouse. Now, download the large file again and check the download times.

If your Internet speed has improved... great, if it has slowed down, then let the software undo the changes.

I would recommend that you run the cable speed test a few times under similar conditions. For instance, same time of the day or night, you may find internet speed faster overall at night when less people are using it.
