Many in India still use dial-up connections for surfing the internet. The reasons for this may be it’s cheaper rate or less usage of internet and many others. I was using dial-up connections about 9 months back and it really pissed me of while surfing on a dial-up connection. In this post, I have listed a few tips that you can adopt if you are using a dial-up connection.<\/p>\n

Block Images From Sites<\/h3>\n

A single image is better than thousand words – but when it comes to dial-up you would be better to stick to words or you will have to wait for thousands of hours to load an image! You can block images getting loaded by changing your browser settings.<\/p>\n

If you are a Firefox user, go to > Tools> >Page Info>> Permissions>> Load Images>> Uncheck “Use Default”>>Select “Block”.<\/p>\n

You could block images in a similar way in Google Chrome<\/a> and Opera<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Increasing Browser Cache Size<\/h3>\n

This can be a super awesome way to increase your connection speed! Let me explain you how this can help. When you visit any website, your computer stores some information from the website as cache memory. The more space you give for cache, the more it will store, and your internet surfing will become much speedier! You could check this article<\/a> out for more information on how to do this.<\/p>\n

Saving Frequently Visited Or Important Webpages<\/h3>\n

This is another trick that could be helpful in making you more productive while surfing. We visit many sites regularly (for example Gmail, Facebook etc). Saving those webpages offine, so that you don’t have to use your precious bandwidth every time could be a nice way of speeding up your internet connection.<\/p>\n

Small Tip:<\/strong> Instead of visiting Gmail, Yahoo! to check your mail every time, you could use Outlook or any other offline email client. So, this will save you some bandwidth.<\/p>\n

Reduce Using Multiple Tabs<\/h3>\n

Now, that we have a facility to use multiple tabs, we fill our browsers with too many tabs. But, this would make your internet surfing slow on a dial-up connection. The more tabs you open, more is the bandwidth consumption. It would be better to use a single tab or at the maximum 2-3 tabs at a time. More than that and you would have to wait hours before it gets loaded!<\/p>\n

It would be better to get one webpage loaded faster, than to wait for 100 webpages getting loaded slower.<\/p>\n

Using Basic Modes In Networking Sites<\/h3>\n

This tip would help you a lot if you use social networking sites. Many popular social networking sites always provide you two modes\/versions. One a lighter one and the other a richer one. Like Orkut – Low bandwidth mode and Orkut-Normal mode, Facebook and Facebook Lite or Zapak or Zapak Lite and so on. So, always stick with the versions that use less bandwidth so that you can experience better speed.<\/p>\n

Using Opera Turbo<\/h3>\n

Opera has a good feature for slow internet connections – Opera Turbo. This uses a unique compression technology while loading a webpage. You could check out more on this concept here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
