Hi! What are all the ways one can maximize one's DSL speed (both for surfing & direct downloading?) I mean all the ways, rather it have to do with software, wiring, or otherwise. Thanks, I'm really curious to see what all things you guys come up with!

buy the most speed up and down you can. everything from that point down [your network] will always be faster than the dsl. for example 3meg down and 768k up is slow compared to a 10mb lan [most are 100mb now]

you can move to a house that is next door to the central office of your isp and check your phone lines so that any static is eliminated
