It seems that not a day goes by without some new software promising to boost your connection speed. The problem is, nowadays it's so hard to tell where the problem is - with your PC, router, ISP, wireless card etc etc.

Simple Net Speed promises no miracles but it does offer some speed enhancements that are not to be sniffed at. Simple Net Speed has been developed with the aim of increasing the transfer speed to surf the Internet and download files. It's especially appropriate for those who frequently suffer interruptions when watching videos and listening to streaming radio stations over the Internet. There's very little to it other than a couple of throttles - one controlling bandwidth speed and the other controlling a multiplier which multiplies whatever speed you're currently running at. The problem is, there's no way of knowing whether this program is genuinely increasing the speed and by how much although you will notice an improvement at times.

Since it's free, easy to use and has no spyware attached, it's worth a go if you've had connection problems.
