Increase the browsing and downloading speed in Windows Vista

After migrating to Windows Vista, you may have noticed the slow internet speed. The Web browsing and downloading speed is slow as compared to the previous versions of Windows. While Windows XP opens a website quickly, Vista takes a bit more time to open it.

Follow these methods to improve the browsing speed in Windows Vista:



Method 1: Open Internet Explorer and go to the Advance tab and turn off the TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption option. To prevent problems with some secure web pages, enable the SSL 2.0 (Secure Sockets Layer) feature and click OK.

Method 2: In Windows Vista, the TCP auto tuning feature is enabled by default. Some web servers do not respond properly to this feature, which makes these websites open slowly.

Note: To use this feature, you need to be logged into your Windows with administrative rights.

First click on the Start button, open the Run option and type CMD and press Enter. At the Command Prompt, type the following command and press Enter:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel= disabled

This command will disable the TCP auto tuning feature. You need to restart your PC for these settings to take effect.

You can easily restore these setting by typing the following command at the Command Prompt:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel= normal

These methods will certainly help you increase your Windows Vista internet speed.
