"So I'm Jason and today we're going to talk about how to speed up your broadband connection. And really on your desktop there really is no way to speed up your connection, the less you have running on your system, the less applications you have open, then the quicker your system is going to run and to be able to accept your connection. The speed of your connection really depends on your modem. There's different modem packages that you can get through Quest or Comcast or DSL so whoever you have you can generally pay to get a faster connection, otherwise having your system apps off and just having your internet connection open is really the fastest way to get a connection, and we've shown you how to ping, and we've shown you how to test your speed. So that said, it's really all in the modem. Thanks for watching. I'm Jason."
