A dial-up connection is the slowest way to connect to the Internet, but it is still useable for tasks that do not involve a lot of uploading and downloading of files. Optimizing your dial-up connection will not vastly improve your speed, but it will help pages load faster on the Internet and speed up other smaller tasks.
Buying More Memory
A very simple way to speed up dial-up is to purchase more random access memory (RAM) for your computer, which will also make all tasks on your computer function faster.
Expense-Free Methods
If you do not want to spend money, you can still speed up your Internet connection. The first, easy way to speed up dial-up is to close all programs that are not necessary. This lets the computer divert more energy to vital processes and other important functions, like your Internet connection. If you do not have firewall enabled, activate it. Firewall blocks unwanted programs from accessing your computer, which makes all the processes run faster. Consider downloading NoScript at noscript.net. This add-on for your Internet browser stops unnecessary applets from loading on Web pages, making them load faster. However, NoScript sometimes blocks necessary scripts and prevents certain Web pages from loading properly. To fix this problem, you will have to enable that specific script from the Noscript control panel. You can also speed up your dial-up connection by removing unnecessary add-ons from your Internet browser.
