Increase Internet Speed with Namebench

There are many ways to increase internet speed like OpenDNS, Google DNS and lots more. Today I would like to share something free that would increase internet speed.

Namebench, a free application that will boost your internet speed. Firstly, it will check your whether your current settings are optimized and, if not, which free option is best for you. Here’s how to use it:

Download Namebench from here and install same.

After installation when you start application it will check your settings and also checked the top two boxes checked. If you’re concerned about network censorship, check the third box, and if you want to help the developers, check the last box. You can tweak the rest if you’re outside U.S. or want to experiment with different browsers. Click Start Benchmark and wait till Namebench runs its tests. It should take several minutes. A browser tab should pop open when Namebench is done and give you a list of DNS servers and how much faster they are than the one you’re currently using, unless yours are already the fastest possible.

Namebench does not change your settings, but it’s generally pretty easy to do it yourself. Check with the instructions you got from your ISP to set up your modem and/or router and just substitute the DNS addresses you received from Namebench for the addresses given by your ISP. It’s best to do this with your router, as it will assign that DNS address for all the devices attached to it.

Here is the link to download and to see some dramastically reasult.
