DEVIL 1 .:


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. If you can't remember them, I highly recommend you to use appropriate utility software like RegTweaker / Tune Up Utilities to backup your registry.




Cure 1 .:
Search for cmd.exe and open command prompt with administrator privilege (Run As Administrator). Then type following two lines and hit enter.This resets all your network settings to default.

netsh int ip reset C:\netsh.log.txt


netsh winsock reset




Restart your pc now !!


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.




Pitfall Prevention

(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.

Cure 5 .:

Google TV

Google has already launched Google+ as the social network for the new generation, and has kept up innovating in different areas, Google’s latest upcoming project that is making a lot of news is Google TV.
Now we all have used YouTube and other video streaming services but unlike them Google TV is gonna be something different, actually a lot more different. Google TV is going to be an internet TV.Based on a new entertainment concept, Google TV allows you to surf screen just like internet.Google TV is a software platform which interacts with a user’s TV and his or her internet or cable or Dish connection to bring a combined TV and Web experience.
“You just need to type in what you want to watch, and Google TV lets you seamlessly search all of the content on your TV, the web, and apps – then access it with a single click. You can also easily switch between TV and the web without having to change inputs on your television”
Features
Apart from the feature like searching  of the content on the TV and the internet with an ease of a ‘single click’ Google Tv has a plethora of other features:

Ability to switch between the TV and internet

Google TV with the help of special set-top boxes gives you the ability to switch between the TV and internet on your main TV screen without need of adjusting your cables.These set-top boxes are available with Sony Internet TV and Logitech.


Creates a TV playlist

Now just like your DTH, you can save those shows which you wont be able to see now and can see it later.With Google TV, you can access over 40,000 shows and movies whenever you want with Netflix ($8.99 a month) or Amazon Instant Video (shows start at 99 cents!). And if you are a DISH Network subscriber then you can enjoy enhanced tv and DVR features and record a show from the search bar and search all of your recordings at once.

Stream Photos on photo-sharing site
Google TV allows you to stream photos from Picasa, Flickr, and every other photo-sharing site.You can also access any public gallery.


Change channels with smart phone and iPhones
 Google TV allows you to use your Android phone or iPhone  to control Google TV in place of a remote control. One may also use Voice search to control the device.

Preloaded Apps

Google TV comes with a plethora of preloaded apps that are sure to improve your TV watching experience. The apps include apps like Netflix, Twitter, CNBC, Pandora, Napster, NBA Game Time, Amazon Instant Video and Gallery. The apps like Pandora  allow you to create and stream your own Radio station.

Auto updating feature

Google TV updates itself automatically, so you’ll get new features for free.
So when is going to be available

Well Google TV is still under development and recently delivering MacTaggart lecture at the Edinburgh Television Festival, Google Chairman Eric Schmidt assured the audience about the company’s plan to launch the Google TV in the UK. Though the success of the service is still doubtful, the reason being the competition it is getting from Apple TV, and like of Nintendo’s Wii,  Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Sony’s Playstation 3. More over there are also reports that the set-top boxes are also very expensive(£152).
