How does

[kaiser_alam]

the internet speed increasing services i.e http://www.netsetter.com work? Can any one explain it to me how they are able to increase the browsing speed with your excisting ISP?

the way they do it are:
Faster connection to websites:
When you request a particular website, your browser must fetch an Internet (IP) address for that site. You will notice a message at the bottom of your page saying ' looking for website http://www.____'/. Normally, this can take a few valuable seconds before the address is found and your request is actually routed to the website. But with Netsetter, these addresses are stored in memory for sites already visited by other Netsetters. By eliminating the address search your wait time is reduced.
Quicker web page downloads:
Using state-of-the-art data compression that goes well beyond that of a standard modem, Netsetter reduces the sheer volume of bits and bytes that are actually
transmitted down to your machine.
Less time fetching static web pages and images:
Using caching techniques typically available to large businesses, Netsetter saves static content and images -- that is, content that doesn't change very often -- on local storage media. Therefore, when a request is received for that content, it is immediately downloaded, avoiding the delay of sending the request to the original website.
Improved response time:
Netsetter maintains high availability servers that instantly respond to your requests, rather than putting them in waiting queues as some overloaded web servers do. In addition, Netsetter optimizes connection settings to reduce delays due to communication "overhead."

keep in mind this are all under ideal circumstances, and we all know there is no ideal cicumstances when it comes to the real world. so the speed probaly will not increase by any noticeable time. if speed is what u want than get cable modem.
