by Bryce
(north carolina)

I have a 10/100 mbps gateway rightnow and was wondering if I changed it would that make my internet faster?

Also if so what would be a good wireless one to go to I'm already useing wifi.

Also another question if I am needing to delete files on my computer for space how is a good way to know what and what not to delete.

Note from Admin: Please, one question per submission.

If you could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,
Bryce

starstarstarstarstar 		Upgrade cable/dsl modem connection
by: Supprot

Hello Bryce,

At this time all cable/dsl modems and routers are 100 MBPS full duplex connect speed.

Adding or upgrading to a 1000 MBPS (1 GBPS) network interface card will do nothing for your internet connect speed.

The only way to get a faster internet speed is to have your ISP (Internet Service Provider) increase the speed of your cable/dsl modem connect speed from the central office. Normally this will mean an increase in the cost per month from your ISP. However if your ISP is upgrading say from 5 to 7 MBPS (mega bits per second) the ISP noramlly upgrades the lower speeds as a matter of course.

My internet speed has increased from 1.5 to 3 to 5 to 7 MBPS over the years and the price has remained the same. Currently there is a specail on to increase the connect speed to 12 MBPS but if I wait it will be upgraded when the special is over.

Hope this helps ...

P.S.

Please ask one question per submission, keeps the forum tidy.
