How Do You Speed Up Netzero Internet?
NetZero is a dial-up Internet service provider. Because dial-up Internet is considerably slower than DSL or cable Internet connections, some might resign themselves to having a slow connection when using the Internet. While this is somewhat true, NetZero users can speed up their Internet service by changing the settings on their computers and modems. A modem that is set to compress is slower, therefore disabling compression will allow the modem to work more quickly. Click “Start” on the computer’s desktop. Select “Control Panel.” Click “Hardware and Sound.” Then choose “Phone and Modem Options.” Click the “Modems” tab at the top of the page. Select the dial-up modem you want to configure and click “Properties.” Click “Change Default Preferences” under the “Advanced” tab. Select “Compression to Disabled,” which is found under “Under Data Connection.” Click “OK.” Click “OK” again. Close the “Control Panel.” You now have made changes to speed up NetZero Internet.
