Invalid configuration in windows system registry will cause this problem frequently. So you can try following few adjustments in your registry to improve internet speed on your Windows 7 computer. Please note that following steps will change the values in various registry entries related to network connections.

Cure 2 .:
Disable TCP Auto-tuning

Search for cmd.exe and open command prompt with administrator privilege (Run as Administrator). Then type line and hit enter.

netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled


If it doesn't make any optimization in your internet download speed, type following code to turn it back on.

 netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=normal


Cure 3 .:

Since Windows 7 can't find an IP address from several non-Microsoft DHCP servers, it will cause your internet browser to load web pages at a very slow speed. So you need to disable this option using Windows registry editor.

• Type view network connections in program search box located in the bottom of start menu and open the program. 
•  Then choose and right click your default internet connection and select properties.
•  In networking tab, click properties of internet protocol version 6(TCP/IPv6) and you will see a general configuration window. 
•  Now choose both Use the following IPv6 address option and Use the following DNS server addresses option and enter the static IP address mentioned in your router manual into both IPv6 Address and Preferred DNS Server fields. Probably you can find your IP address since they mention it as default IP gateway or something similar to it. 
•  Now do the same on internet protocol version 4(TCP/IPv4) and complete the task. By applying these settings you can disable DHCP in your chosen connection.
•  Now try to connect to the internet with your default browser. If you still have the Windows 7 slow internet speed try disabling IPv6 protocol.

Cure 4 .:

Disable IPv6 on Windows 7

Open the same network connections window and choose your default network adapter to view its properties. Choose Networking tab and uncheck the box called Internet Protocol version 6 (TCP/IPv6) or completely uninstall it from your computer. Finally open Device Manager and remove or disable any other tunnel, miniport IPv6 adapters.

Disable Windows Firewall or Router Firewall

Sometimes Windows Firewall fiddles with your antivirus also...so you must disable it and get a good antivirus softwares like Kaspersky / Quick Heal / McAfee / Norton


So say good bye to Windows Firewall 
Go to Start > Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Firewall and click on Turn Windows Firewall on or off. Turn it off and hit OK. Please refer your router manual to turn off your routers built-in firewall or just Google it.

(RECOMMENDED)

Outdated or Non-compatible Hardware and Drivers

Device driver is the interface that joins hardware resources with various software applications. Sometimes your internet connecting device (USB modem, Satellite Receiver module etc.) will need to be used with updated driver software in order to work on Windows 7. Otherwise it will cause very slow internet experience on your Windows PC. Therefore simply download and install latest driver software's for your connecting devices from its manufacturer's website in order to solve this problem.You may even try a new modem.




Also check for physical damages to your cable

If you're using a dialup connection over a telephone line you can have a maximum of 56Kbps speed. But as a result of high network usage load, normally you'll only get a speed at about 30Kbps. Also remember that Kbps is stands for "Kilo Bits per Second" and not about "kilo bytes". Since 1 KB (kilo byte) is equivalent to 8 bits, you can have up to 7 Kbps of internet speed on your windows 7 computer. Compared to internet connections like DSL and mobile broadband, Dialup connections are very slow and have loads of connection faults. So you need to consider using different internet connection to fix and speed up slow internet speeds. You can also use Fiber Optic Service (FiOS) to have high speed download and upload connections. Contact your network operator for additional information about FiOS services.


DEVIL 2.1 .:(RECOMMENDED)

Get a better antivirus and superior browser

• McAfee / Norton / Quick Heal / Kaspersky are recommended 

Browsers......

• Google Chrome or Rockmelt(a memory HOG.. i hate it ....)
• Opera(best with EXTREME slow networks...a bit unstable but overall a decent one)
• Mozilla(A combination of speed and security...)
• AppleSafari 

DON't try Internet Explorer(good only for govt. sites and the most insecure browser ) .Don't go to your browser matters....the results are a JOKE and the site is nothing better than a scam! IE never cleared ACID 3 TEST see the proof !!!

If you are on a wireless network then...

• If you're using a HSDPA mobile internet dongle for connect to internet, make sure that you've installed the latest driver software for Windows 7. Otherwise it will provide a poor performance in data transfer. 
•  If you're using a satellite connection, consider checking your signal strength. You need a good satellite reception to have a faster internet download speeds.
