Cat & others... want a SINGLE FILE that is guaranteed (& I mean that) that will boost your online speed, by a COUNTRY MILE (& secure you online too, guaranteed, vs. many online threats)?
EMail me, here ->

* YOU'RE GONNA LOVE THIS, promise...
It helps HUGELY in surfing HTML data pages (which most are anyhow on websites anyways), but it's of no help speeding up binary downloads though (things like program updates etc.).
APK
P.S.=> It's called a HOSTS file, but this is a CUSTOMIZED one...
I.E. -> it blocks out adbanners (yes, webmasters don't like it, most likely, but IF you pay for your linetime out of your own pockets like I do? You want every BIT of speed you are entitled to for your monies)...
E.G.-> Using these (they come from BSD UNIX originally, when MS ripped off their IP stack no less for windows, as BSD is truly the "best in the biz" for things IP)?
Well - you don't waste time calling out to adbanner servers, loading in their datastreams, & processing their code, period... huge boost in & of itself, but... there's more (far more):
You can additionally speed up access to your FAV SITES too... simply by putting their IPAddress <-> URL equation into them using notepad.exe (after you "ping" them to find out the IP addy). This way, you don't waste time in roundtrip URL -> IPaddress resolution from DNS servers (which have been getting "DNS Poisoned" quite a lot lately too PLUS, if your DNS from your ISP/BSP goes down? YOU STILL GET TO YOUR FAV SITES ANYHOW!)
This keeps you safe too, because many adbanners today are being hijacked by the "Russian Business Network" & I see results of that almost daily for clients I service (from home/end users up to corporate clients w/ infested networks).
Easy to install too! & easy to edit + add to (via notepad & ping usage)
(1 file copy -> C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc , overwriting your old one, & that only has a single entry of 127.0.0.1 localhost)...
Trust me on this one... want more speed AND security? WRITE ME, I will send it back in an email attachment...
Heh, I can't WAIT to hear you guys go "WOW"...
In fact, here is just one example from others that have used it:
