no you can't "overclock" your internet service.... but you can pay more for more bandwith

You may be able to use your 16k D-channel for data. I know you can do that with PRI, not sure about BRI though.

But sorry, no overclocking.

Are you sure you can use the D channel? I thought that was for control?

aside from OS and browser tweaking, there really isn't much you can do, short of upgrading your internet service.

Yes, it is used for control. Any control packets are the highest priority, but after call setup, that 16k line sits idle. I know with PRI and T1 systems you can use the D channel (but it's 64k in those cases). I found an article that allows data over D-channel, but it says it has to use X.25:

Personally, I don't think it sounds like it's worth it for the low speeds you'll get, but it might be useful if you are already running X.25 over IDSN (do they still do that?)

Interesting.


And i am sure it is used somewhere. Possibly south america where lines are crappy, and they are running X.25 over barbed fence wire or something
