How to boost my internet speed?

You can't reasonably expect to install fibre optics for yourself. There's a lot of costs associated with doing that, so it only makes sense to install fibre if you're an internet access provider or other large company that can afford to pay the high initial cost. Most neighbourhoods do just fine on DSL, ADSL or cable internet (though I agree: I want fibre too). Lag experienced in games is more frequently due to latency, usually called "ping", than to bandwidth issues. At your computer, open a command prompt - press Windows Key + R and enter "cmd" then hit enter. At the command prompt, enter the command "ping google.com" (without quotes) and hit enter - this should tell you your ping to Google. A ping of roughly 100ms isn't terrible, but if it's over 200ms there's probably an issue. You should also be aware that plenty of people on DSL and cable are able to hit moving targets in CoD4. This is not a particularly difficult thing to do (you have to aim ahead of them, not behind them). If you can't hit targets using your controllers (PS3, XBOX), try using a mouse. I guarantee it'll be easier to hit things.

Yes fiber is better and it is a shame its not available in your neighborhood I was fortunate enough to get FIOS as an "experimental installation I'm running 4 desktops 2 laptops 2 big screen tv. and i get instant rresponse on all units. I worked for "a major communications company" and installed fiber...it was always to large business..but now they are installing "fiber to the curb", when it becomes available in your area...JUMP on it with both feet! you wont be sorry! As to installing it your self...well ..its not likely, first the fiber alone cost $28.00 a foot! you need 2 fibers..you would have to find a fiber pick-up point...then string it on the poles to your house (not legal in any state!) Then you would have to have a converter to change light to electrical, and a T-1 carrier to brake that down to a single line..they're cheap only $1200.00 then you would have to get an ISP and an address (and were do ya think you will have to get that from!) By the time you got through all that...Fiber may come to your area anyway!

You can probably do two things, right now, to boost your Internet speed. They’re simple, they’re trusted, and they’re palpable changes: 1. Open yourself to OpenDNS. They have configuration pages for your OS or hardware router. Both Scott Beale (LaughingSquid) and I have seen dramatic differences in speed since going through their DNS servers. Matt’s happy about it, too. My speed difference was probably even more dramatic, considering I’ve already implemented my second recommendation… 2. If you’re on Windows, install FastCache: “Every time you go to a new website, or a website you haven’t been to in a day or so, your computer needs to locate the server again using DNS. Each DNS request can take anywhere from 50 milliseconds, to even a second or more, but most are in the 100 to 200 millisecond range. Want to save a couple hundred milliseconds? Probably not, but what about a couple million or more? That’s what AnalogX FastCache is all about.” I’ve been running FastCache since Mark released it on the first Helpathon. My stats are somewhat stunted, but I’ve saved 6d 18h 27m 53s worth of time (in 118w). It really adds up. If you use a news aggregator, either one (or both) of these solutions is mandatory. Do not pass Go - do not spend $200. It’s all free for the taking.
