Hey,

Over the past few weeks, I've noticed that it has taken pages longer and longer to open on the internet. I live in a dorm, and we all have the same exact internet connection and speed, so the internet itself is not a problem, but I notice that the internet is faster on my friends' laptops than it is on mine.

I have a Macbook, would you recommend any free programs I could use to figure out/solve why my internet is so slow compared to everyone else's? 5 people in my dorm have the exact same laptop as me and their pages load twice as fast on the same connection.

Thanks in advance
 
i don't use macs so i don't know the file names or anything on those systems but have you cleaned out temp files, cookies, cache, defraged hard drive, checked for updated drivers,
 
clear out your internet browser - delete all temp files and cookies this will help
 
hi here are some tips to increase your speed
Configure your browser so it won't display graphics, animations, sound, video .
Surf when Internet traffic is low. Heaviest traffic is usually on weekends and evenings.
Upgrade your modem.
Consult with your Internet service provider to ensure that your modem is configured correctly.
Replace your telephone modem with a fast-access connection such as wave, ISDN, DSL, satellite, a cable modem.
and now check your connection speed here ip-details.com .
