First thing I want to say is that this hack ONLY works with Sagem F@st 800-840 USB Modem.Open up your Sagem F@st monitor on the Taskbar.
Press Alt+D & you’ll get an advanced configuration screen.
Go to Config & select
That’s it! Your modem will now restart & you’ll have a slight increase in download speed!The Sagem F@st 800-840 was an ADSL modem that I got when I subscribed to a 128kbps Wanadoo ADSL connection. However, since I always get less than my theoretical maximum speed of 16 kB/s, average speed being 13 kB/s, I’ve constantly been on the lookout for hacks that will increase my internet speed. The first hack that I discovered didn’t work at all since I have only Win XP Home Edition…
Next I decided searching for hacks to increase my 128kbps bandwidth (don’t think it can be done with my current modem), when I stumbled upon this post:

& from that blog to the “source”: http://www.ennazk.com/?p=12
I couldn’t believe what I read… finally I could increase my bandwidth! The euphoria was short-lived… since I didn’t get the promised 484kbps… :(
According to the original post, I changed the USB from BULK/ISO to BULK & I got a noticeable increase in download speed of around 1.2 kB/s.However, following my instinct as usual, I decided to try out the other ISO setting.
WOW! I’m now getting average speed of 14 kB/s!!!! It’s still a very small increment, but any increase is better than no increase at all. :P

Turned out my instinct was wrong, it's the BULK mode that is faster than the ISO mode. (Tried it out on torrents!)
Do try out the hack & please post your results. Only works with Sagem F@st 800-840. If you have another modem, try to find a similar type of settings on it…
