If you've been using dial-up you're going to be amazed at the difference. I used Dr.TCP to change my connection settings and my download speed went from 1200 Kbits to 4000Kbits.
I also have a registry file that makes these changes without interaction from you, if you want it I'll send it to you.

Sorry, http://www.dslreports.com/front/drtcp.html
I don't remember where I got the registry file, anyone who wants it can mail me and I'll send it back.
