Vacation isn\u2019t always fun and games. Sometimes you need to work. But if you\u2019re stuck at a hotel or resort with a slow Internet connection, this can prove difficult. Fortunately, the Lifehacker Web site offers some easy tricks for working with a sluggish Internet connection.<\/p>\n
Apps, plug-ins<\/b><\/p>\n
Certain apps and plug-ins are bandwidth hogs, decreasing your already sputtering Internet connection. Turn these off to receive an immediate boost. Lifehacker suggests that you download such programs as FlashBlock and AdBlock Plus. These programs can keep bandwidth-sucking ads, videos and animations from slowing down your Web connection.<\/p>\n
Optimize<\/b><\/p>\n
You can also optimize your Web experience so that you require as little bandwidth as possible. For example, visit the mobile versions of Web sites. Disable images. And don\u2019t even try to download videos.<\/p>\n
Work smart<\/b><\/p>\n
Sometimes, there\u2019s little that you can do to boost your Internet speed. In such cases, you\u2019ll have to work smart. Do those tasks that demand little bandwidth – such as sending e-mails – when you\u2019re saddled with a slow connection. Don\u2019t perform high-bandwidth tasks – such as editing videos – until you\u2019re privileged with a speedier connection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
