How to Speed Up My NetZero Internet for Free

NetZero has add-on features that promise quicker Internet service, but you may want to make a small change first to see if you can speed up your Internet yourself for free. NetZero focuses on providing dial-up Internet service to its customers, so you should not expect a lot of speed from NetZero, as dial-up is much slower than a broadband connection. Instead, focus on speeding up your modem.
