zombitroid Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I was doing a speedtest today on speedtest.net and I decided to try out speedtest.net's speed optimizer, and it found some problems on my computer. For $29.95, it claims to fix all of my pc problems, and to speed up my pc and my "network connection" by at least 29%. My simple question is, if I buy this product for my pc from my pc, will it improve my entire network connnection's speed, or just my pc's network connection's speed? What does "network connection" mean in this case? Like if it speeds up my computer ever so slightly, and if it improves my speedtest.net resuluts, will this impact my gaming when Im on ps4? Will a pc speed optimizer program effect my ps4 and ps3, or do these programs only effect the pc you download it on? Sorry for the hard question.... But thanks for reading!

I personally wouldn't bite. Too gimmicky. There are probably free programs guys like @Zennon can tell you about that would be better. I'd stay away.

Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted June 22, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted June 22, 2015 Yeah, I would be cautious about paying for this too Perhaps you could do a Google search for reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zennon Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 In the past this was to be a good tool TCP Optimizer http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php I used to use it on win xp but since vista you do not need to tweak your rwin etc I would not bother now on the latest versions of windows You can work out your best mtu setting before fragmentation https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1007914/ but again its not going to speed anything up just give your packets the lowest size , optimum. I have messed around with all sorts in the past for work and for my gaming set up and nothing has made a bigger inpact than the Netduma , I would just leave well alone if it works it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombitroid Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 Thats the thing that makes me want to buy this thing all the reviews are great for this product, and they even have a great return service. The only thing I CANT find online is if this great program can indirectly speed up my entire internet connection on all my devices. I would think that if it chose the optimal internet settings for my computer, making the speedtest website read my internet as faster ping, that it would effect all my devices. But theres nothing in the product details that mentions any such benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombitroid Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 The program claims to fix my 150 pc issues and to set up my internet connection settings within my pc so that they are optimal for high speeds. I guess what Im asking you guys is: Are these internet connection settings (in my pc) such as my registry, or network properties, designed to only effect my pc? Or will optimizing these registry settings on my pc speed up everything on my network including my ps4? Sorry that this is such a stupid question but I need to know the answer to this once and for all! Thanks so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zennon Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 It is reporting you have problems to scare you into buying.The only thing that can speed up your internet is moving closer to the exchange or cabinet. You can make small changes to speed by making sure your SNRM is optimal by having your wiring in your home the best it can be, modem/router by the master socket then use cat5e or cat 6 to devices. Running the program on your pc would only effect the pc. I remove this type of crapware from computers on a daily basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
