Anyway to "increase" my modem speed?

[xYeta]

I have no idea why is my connection speed so damn slow in the afternoon-night. It works better at midnight (around 12am-5am) and morning. I have an ADSL modem, I'm from Asia, I have 2 computers which share 1 modem. Every afternoon, my internet speed is verrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy slow.It almost take like 30 minutes to load the whole wc3edit.net homepage. And it even takes like 1 hour to load the whole page IF my father turn on his computer.

So is there anyway to increase my modem speed? Like stealing other peoples' connection to my modem. I'm so tired with this speed, I can't even do any f*cking thing on the internet other than playing dotA AI.

hm stealing other peoples' connection is illegal..

doubt any one would help u with that. get a faster adsl ?

Can't. I paid RM210 which is like 70$ for my connection, and the speed is still so slow. I tried complaining to the company, still nothing happens.

4MB line?
I lived in M'sia and my router connecting 2 wireless 2 Ethernet. Doesn't seem's getting slow down when open this forum.

Maybe someone is stealing your bandwidth. Turn off your wireless.

Network Virus? Try with someone elses computer, who hasn't connected to your modem before.

If your wireless isn't protected by WEP or WPS, then it should be. Protecting isn't hard, so if you need help you can just ask. Also, your cpu could be storing to many cookies which can make surfing the web extremely slow ; things such as pictures and videos take up a lot. I mean you can watch a full video on YouTube if it fully loads even if you have no internet connection. Even toolbars slow down your internet.

A free program like CCleaner is great at removing cookies, freeing up RAM, and even cleaning up what uninstalled programs leave behind. Online sites sometimes do what CCleaner does but with less access, since it wouldn't be smart to give a website full access of your computer.

ADSL uses telephone wires correct? It uses information frequencies not used by a telephone call. Wether your connection uses a DSL filter or is a fiberoptic type of DSL I do not know. But the problem with DSL is when phone lines are being mostly used for calls and not cpu information making hard to reach the normal Internet Protocl Network

Bandwidth is a measurement of data in bites per second. It can also be in Hertz, but that is another type of bandwidth that has to do with frequencies. The peak transfer rate is written on routers and modems as adveristing (peak bit rate). It doesn't always mean it will actaully always work as fast as it says.

Sorry if I confused you or if this doesn't even help at all. And I agree with the guy above me, checking with over computers is a great way to see if it's the connection, computer, or the modem/router that is having the issue. A virus could cause this.
