Here I will unleash a few hidden settings that should improve your internet speed, and work with all current linux operating systems including Ubuntu:
1. Open a Terminal via Applications->Accessories->Terminal
Type:
sudo vim /etc/sysctl.conf (press i for edit mode)
Then Paste the Following at the end of the file:
## increase TCP max buffer size setable using setsockopt() net.core.rmem_max = 16777216 net.core.wmem_max = 16777216 ## increase Linux autotuning TCP buffer limits ## min, default, and max number of bytes to use ## set max to at least 4MB, or higher if you use very high BDP paths net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 87380 16777216 net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 65536 16777216 ## don't cache ssthresh from previous connection net.ipv4.tcp_no_metrics_save = 1 net.ipv4.tcp_moderate_rcvbuf = 1 ## recommended to increase this for 1000 BT or higher net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 2500 ## for 10 GigE, use this, uncomment below ## net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 30000 ## Turn off timestamps if you're on a gigabit or very busy network ## Having it off is one less thing the IP stack needs to work on ## net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 0 ## disable tcp selective acknowledgements. net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 0 ##enable window scaling net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling = 1
Type :wq to exit and save.
Type in terminal
sudo sysctl -p
to apply the settings.
You can disable all these settings by removing these lines you added via:
sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf
