How to Keep Your Connection Fast

Weekly computer maintenance – You should use a free program like CCleaner to clean the cookies and cache from your computer at least once a week. After you run this program the next step should be to run a virus scan using McAfee, Norton or the virus scanner of your choosing.

Restart your modem at least once a week – If you unplug your modem at least once a week and unscrew it from the cable line, you will be able to reboot it and insure that it’s always going to run fast. Your broadband internet service would recommend that you do this step anyway and it’s the easiest way to save yourself time and money.
