There is no way to increase your actual download speed.

You can however use compression programs that display web pages in a way that they display quicker.

They basically download certain parts first and other larger parts compressed so the whole page appears to be faster.

It's not a huge difference but it does work.

I hated dial up because it was so slow. The sad thing is there are people that still don't have a way to get highspeed internet because of where they are located.

Yeah. It just about killed me when I was forced to use dialup again for awhile. I had gotten so used to high-speed. Everything just seems to crawl.

Well I also suggest please visit Opera's website which offer some plugins called "Speed Dail" in their new version. I am sure you would like it.

I wish I would have known about this when I had dial up. At least I would have had some way to have the pages load faster. I hated dial up.
