|  Optimizing XP Registry - good idea? I have just discovered a Registry optimizing program 'TCPOptimizer', which claims to edit parameters in the registry which can make my connection faster. Is this a good idea? Could it actually improve my internet? Source: http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php

| Ive seen so many of those in the years and i never heard of one that works. Anything that changes the registry can go very bad. I tried some in the passed and had no luck with one. |

| Having the latest firmware can help and people say by playing with the MTU can help with internet speed. |

| One of the things the TCP Optimizer did was change the MTU, is there a recommended value for it.
