Publisher's Description
From PGWARE:
Throttle is a tool for all that allows you to modify your modem settings to increase internet performance up to 200% or higher. No modifications to your hardware are made and all adjustments and settings are done in an easy to use interface that a child could use. Most other modem enhancers promise that they work while you notice no difference at all in internet speed. It instantly increases the speed of your Cable, DSL, U-Verse, Fios and dial-up internet connection and improves the speed of your internet connection dramatically.
What's new in this version: Version 6.2.13.2012 fixes registry access bug when running on 64-bit version of Windows where some keys were redirected causing settings to not save and load correctly.

"Badly disguised Sales fishing tool"
Version: Throttle 6.12.19.2011
Pros
It's free, supposedly
Cons
They put you through a bunch of offer selections to get it "free", which all cost money, or are more of the same.
Summary
Skip it
-
"Rip-Off Alert!!!"
Version: Throttle 6.12.19.2011
Pros
Maybe if you connection is super-slow to start with, you might just see a slight speed-gain but that is about it.
Cons
More likely to do harm to your set-up than anything else.

"annoying software"
Version: Throttle 6.12.12.2011
Pros
i witnessed none
Cons
does nothing and it promises it's not even free and yet we are meant to believe it is a free ware
Summary
just waste of time using it.
-
"improves speeds"
Version: Throttle 6.10.11.2010
Pros
ease of use
Cons
not sure later versions add yet more speed
Summary
other free tools included with free PC optimisers may well kill it off.

"Did speed it up a little"
Version: Throttle 6.9.13.2010
Pros
My computer modem seems like it did get a little faster, but now sure if it doubled.
Cons
I don't have anything negative to say about this product.
Summary
I decided not to upgrade to the full version.
-
"This software is a ripoff"
Version: Throttle 6.1.18.2010
Pros
Doesn't do what the authors claim it does.
Cons
It's a total waste of the price they are charging.
Summary
the software doesn't improve speed or performance of your internet connection as claimed.
-
"This is an amazing piece of software!"
Version: Throttle 6.12.28.2009
Pros
I had to lower my internet speed due to an increase in my billing, so my bandwidth downloads were around 1.5Mbps (150-190KB/sec)... After buying this app and running the "Fastest" setting... I am now getting 600KB/sec and higher download speeds.
Cons
There are none.
Summary
If you want to see a marginal boost in your browsing/downloading speeds... get this program.

Summary

"No differnce in speed, unstable internet connection!"
Version: Throttle 6.3.1.2009
Pros
-Quick User Interface
Cons
-Creates an unstable connection
-No speed difference!Summary
Hated it; It showed no difference what-so-ever, and made my connection unstable!
-
"Lol."
Version: Throttle 6.5.5.2008
Pros
Doesn't increase your Internet speed, but instead it drags it down. Throttle to the max is limited, as the max feature is disabled by default. My DSL is running at peak speeds, and even with Throttle I won't assume it'll go any higher.
Cons
Bunch of Bull. Practice safe hex. Safe surfing. Your connection will be fine.
