my internet is reeeaaaally slow and i've heard of these things that u hook up to the internet an it makes it go alot faster..do i have to pay for that on my phone bill?
First off, remove any helper programs you have. For instance, zone alarm will slow you way down. A decent antivirus does just as good.
You can remove any toolbars you have. Many people get tricked into installing a google toolbar or a yahoo toolbar and those really slow you down.
Any add-ons that you have in your browser will hog the system and constantly be checking the net for stuff you don't need.
Also, delete all your temporary internet files and go through the setup to optimize things. Use graphic compression and check to see if you are checking for a new version of the page every time you visit it....
