Nothing bites worse than having access to broadband internet, and still getting slow download/upload speeds! Most of the time these speeds are dependent on the webpage or server you are trying to download files from, but wouldn’t it be nice to have a Free utility that will actually optimize the connection on your end for the fastest speeds possible?

Well, SpeedGuide.net has developed such a tool, and it is called the TCP Optimizer. The TCP Optimizer is a free, easy Windows program that gives you a simple operating interface for tuning and optimizing your Internet connection. There is no installation required, just download and run.

The program will help both the novice and advanced computer user to tweak their TCP/IP settings in the windows registry (backup first) making it easy to tweak your system specifically for the type of internet connection you use.
