efore even starting talking about increasing the speed of your internet connection you may want to know if your ISP provider is throttling your internet speed. There are a couple of online tools for testing if your Internet provider is limiting your download speed. Detecting ISP throttling is a piece of cake if you know where to go, what tools to use. One tool that I found amazing as is giving you the choice of checking if you’re limited on P2P websites is Glasnost. If you for any reason became suspicious that your Internet provider is limiting your download speed go test your internet speed using this tool.
Now, that you saw that everything’s just fine with your internet connection, no throttling – everything is as it should be, lets develop together a way of making your connection even faster. The entirely trick consist in changing your DNS to OpenDNS, basically changing the DNS address of your ISP provider to the OpenDNS address. This can be done in no more than 5 seconds and it doesn’t require any computer skills at all!
Follow the next steps:
Control Panel / Network Connections / Local Network Connection / TCP IP Properties

After changing to OpenDNS your internet speed should increase. You still may consider couple of disadvantages when changing to "0"
