Speed Up Your Broadband

Did you know that you could speed up your broadband and not pay any fees? Most Internet users are not maximizing their DSL connection speed simply because they don't know how to adjust it. They end up paying more for less.

Calling your telephone company usually doesn't help that much. They can't really do anything to correct the situation that is occurring inside your home, such as long telephone or Internet cords, multiple wires, too many connections, incorrect groundings and more. If you can eliminate these issues then your Internet connection should improve. At the very least, your slow connection is due to poor wiring. As soon as you separate the signal from the telephone line, you will no doubt notice an increase in your connection speed.

The "Network Interface Device (NID)" is a box located where your telephone wires enter your house. If you install your Internet connection here, then the transmission from your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to your modem covers as short a distance as possible. All you have to do is purchase a cheap splitter and relocate it to sit close to your NID. This way your Internet connection can avoid the maze of telephone wiring that it would have to take through your house and into your computer. You can do this yourself and save money. Your telephone or Internet provider would likely charge you for this visit when you can easily do it on your own.

For best results, buy a splitter and put it next to your NID. Next, place your modem beside the splitter. Now everything that you need to obtain a faster connect is sitting right next to each other.

Once your splitter and modem are located next to the NID you need to set up your Ethernet router. In order to use the Internet inside your house, make use of a wireless router. That way you can get a signal anywhere: in the kitchen, your home office, the den or even the bathroom. If you don't want to use a wireless router you can utilize "HomePlug" devices.

If there is any trouble with your connection speed now, it won't be because of the wiring in your house. It will most likely be something to do with the ISP provider and the connection they are delivering to your home. It will be much easier for them to troubleshoot this problem now, because they won't have to untangle a bunch of wiring.
