Am I being over-dramatic?
But what you have to understand is that at the very center of my livelihood is the Internet.
I earn income, learn and unwind all on the Internet.
When I lose that connection to the virtual world - I’m not a happy camper.
Rewind several months to the day when I purchased a new, shiny Sony Vaio laptop.

Earlier, Aseem offered applications you’re able to install that will improve your PC performance.
Here’s how it works.
Right-tap on that icon and select “Properties.”
You’ll discover both IPv6 and IPv4 enabled.
Vista comes installed and enabled with something called “Receive Window Auto-Tuning.”
Older routers simply do not “play nice” when it comes to that kind of window resizing.
What was Microsoft thinking?
First, press “Start” and throw in “cmd” and right-press the command icon.
You’ll see the following window.
punch “Run as Administrator.”
Go to Start and bang out “regedit”.
Name it “NonBestEffortLimit” and set the value to zero to disable reserve bandwidth.
These instructions include how to increase your browsing speed on Firefox and IE.
As before, go toStartand punch in “regedit.”
Navigate to “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Internet prefs” and find “MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server” and “MaxConnectionsPerServer.”
Set these to at least 10, or a little higher if you would like.
You should also see an increase in performance for IE after making this change as well.
you’re free to optimize this by increasing the size of your DNS cache.
