I read somewhere that you can speed up your broadband connection by playing about with the " packet scheduler " . Does anyone know about this as I am no computer tech

I had a call from a guy at BT asked if I wanted my broadband access speeded up Told me to go to this site and download the Broadband Network Optimiser. If you are with BT might be worth a try. Has made a difference to my connection speed.

there are several utils out there which will make the necessary registry changes, or you can do it manually
