A Modem Speed Test is Your First Step in Increasing Your Download and Upload Speed

April 21st, 2008

It seems that some people are just never happy with the speed of anything. They approach their computers Internet speed the same way that a high school kid does his car, always wanting more. For others who rely on their computer for their income, time is money and in those cases the sooner they can get their work done, the sooner they get paid. The good news for anyone that wants to see things happen faster when they are online is that the means are now available to kick-it-up a notch for more speed on their computer.

Online Services Now Specialize in Speed

This is because, there are now online services that can help you to get your speed increased, no matter what type of Internet service you are connected to. This means that even people that are still using standard dial up service can get things going quicker when they are using their computer online. The first step however, is to determine your computers actual modem speed and then work from there.

Test Your Download and Your Upload Speed

The truth is, that you can test your modem speed yourself. This is done by simply downloading a file of a specific size and timing the procedure while it happens. However; this doesn’t account for your upload speed, which is far more difficult to test. An online service can test both of them by sending you a file of a specific size and then seeing how long it takes for your computer to download it and then upload it back to them.

Retest After Your Upgrade

After this is done, for many people the first step is to install optimization software, which will increase the speed even if you are using dial up service. If you have broadband however, you will need a tweak utility such as TCP Optimizer. Either way after you have completed your upgrades, you will then want to have your modem speed retested to see how much of an improvement has been made.

Eliminate Phone Lines With an Intelligent Phone Switch

April 19th, 2008

Whether you operate a home business or a large corporation, your lifeline to the world is the telephone line. With out it you would be out of business. Phone lines are very important, but they are also expensive, and as a valuable resource, they should be managed wisely. An intelligent phone switch will manage your calls and save you money month after month.

Line-sharing technology can cut fixed costs on your monthly bills and give you the advantage of more control over your telecommunications system. Sharing phone lines for voice callers, a fax machine, a modem, and other devices is both feasible and cost-effective. Automatic call processing technology makes this possible as well as profitable.

Automatic call processors save the monthly cost of having dedicated phone lines for your fax, modem, and/or voice calls. By effectively using your phone lines, you can eliminate one or more of them with the help of a “smart” phone switch.

When installed on your system, the line-sharing device automatically routes calls over one or more lines to multiple devices. When a fax call comes in, the switch automatically sends the call to your fax. If it’s a data call, it’s routed to your computer. Or if the caller is a human, it’s routed to your phones, phone system, or answering machine. The correct device answers automatically and no other devices will ring. A smart switch pays for itself in a few months and keeps on saving you money for years to come.

Cut Fixed Costs

A smart switch can save you 1-9 lines per unit in phone charges, and multiple-line devices can save you even more.

A computerized call processor can automatically tell whom the call is for and whether the caller is a person or a machine. Fax switching frees up the fax line for other uses when the fax is not in use.

Distinctive ring processors allow up to 3 phone numbers on the same line.

Tone Detection call processors allow up to 9 devices to share a single phone number.

Modems can share lines with other modems, fax machines, voice systems or any phone-connected equipment. You can poll multiple modems over one phone line in one call automatically. Line Sharing will save you thousands over the life of the equipment.
