Tweak DSL and Cable - Increase Broadband Speed

Sunday February 3, 2008
| Reference | So-called broadband speed tweaks are techniques to improve performance of DSL and cable Internet connections.

Home networking enthusiasts started experimenting with cable and DSL tweaks many years ago, when broadband Internet services first became popular. Internet speed tweaks have historically been difficult to apply and measure, although nowadays some utility software exists to make the job easier. Still, the average person might not consider it worth their time for the level of expected benefit.

For those with DSL or cable, I recommended it more as a technology learning experience than for whatever marginal speed increases you are likely to get.
