If you use these tips then you will be able to work faster on slow Internet connection as well as you will be able to utilize the full bandwidth of your slow Internet connection.

• Choose a correct web browser. Mozilla Firefox is best, because it downloads web pages very fast as compare to other web browser. Mozilla Firefox works on compression techniques that will help you to download web pages at higher rate as compare to other web browsers.

• Images and flash based advertisements eat up your most of the bandwidth. Firefox users can use Adblocker and Flashblocker extensions to block unwanted flash and images advertisements.

• Change your browser setting to disable images when they are mot require. Firefox users can use Imglikeopera extension to block unwanted images on web page. This will help your browser to load images from your local computer instead of remote server and finally you will get the improve internet speed on your slow internet connection.

• When you are sending images with high resolution use some image compression tool like Microsoft Image Resizer to compress the image.

• Turn auto update features of software’s that are running on your computer system. I think only turn on the auto update for antivirus and firewall. For downloading windows updates use scheduling because Microsoft does releases updates daily, most Microsoft updates are expected to come on second week of every month. Same policy can be used for other non Microsoft application software’s.

• Audio and video streaming websites like YouTube and similar websites will eat your most of the bandwidth. So if are doing some important work over the internet then it’s better to not to touch these websites.

• Some images compression services are also available but they are not free. These services can also be used to compress high resolution images before downloading to your computer system. Onspeed is one of the service providers for compressing the images. Image compression services are useful for those users who are frequently visiting websites that are heavily loaded with high resolution images.

• Webaroo (www.webaroo.com) is another interesting application for the bandwidth starved. This is an offline browsing program that basically downloads pages from sites that you frequently visit on to your hard disk, thus making them locally available. The latest version, Webaroo 2, also lets you download videos from YouTube, Metacafe, Google Videos and other sites as well as download Flickr Photos by user, group and photoset. It’s also a good idea to have this handy if you subscribe to tons of RSS feeds. The application also offers change alerts and downloads suggestions on interesting videos and photos if you like, but this feature can get slightly irritating if you are working on the go.
