I often have to go online on my Mobile to use a service or two on the web. I sometimes need to view a complete page on my laptop’s screen while on the move, so I’d connect to Mobile using the Bluetooth link and go online on 9.6Kbps dial-up connection. Yesterday got the torture of using 56Kbps on a desktop PC at home. How could we do it 5,6 years ago?
While it’s a pleasure to use 3G speed browsing or have your e-mail checked while driving 120 Km/h, you’re actually locked up with 56Kbps and 9.6Kbps connections every now and then. I do a set of drills when I’m on such speeds, here’s what I got to share with you in order to use these connections.
- Disable viewing images/flash/java/quicktime and the hungry objects
- Use a text-based browser
- Use desktop clients for e-mail or other Internet-dependent services instead of your web browser
- Use only one IM software while on those speeds
- Restrict your firewall or enable a profile that restricts bandwidth only to a select number of software
- If you happen to use a web browser then make sure you have only one tab at the time requesting for a URI.
You got more? Share!
