A solution to slow broadband connections

Guys, I've been using Airtel and was experiencing its very poor speed with browsing. Since there is no effect on the umpteen number of complaints made, I was determined to quit Airtel. However, what kept me going was its pretty good speed with IDM, other accelerated downloads such as Speedbit's Video Accelerator and torrents.

So I was thinking of a way to simulate browsing just like IDM does with its multiple, simultaneous connections, so that HTTP multi-threaded requests are sent for faster browsing speed. My theory was simple, but I could not find a tool that does what I wanted to check. Then I stumbled upon an article on Firefox's HTTP pipelining. This was exactly what I wanted. I did the adjustments and the internet browsing is now at least 3 times more faster. If you're using Chrome, I strongly suggest that you switch to Firefox as its engine is designed to suit slower connections.

The following is the link for the information that I found. If you haven't done these changes, check for yourselves and post a comment on how it worked for you. Cheers!

Are you using the Airtel HSDPA Dongle or some other ? try E220 it's the best ...

Yeap, I'm using E220, but the poor performance of Airtel will be there with whichever device you may be using. By the way, I was suspecting that new impatience plan is the root cause of this, and will be reverting back to the 1490/= Rs rental unlimited package.
