UPDATE: In addition to this trick, go ahead and try
THIS MORE ADVANCED Reg Trick (
Increase "Maximum number of concurrent connections") to further maximize your Web surfing on any PPC.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a neat little trick. Basically it improves the speed at which the DNS of the webpage you are seeking is retrieved. It does NOT increase bandwidth speed, just DNS lookup. End result is a faster browsing experience since your pages are "found faster".
