- Method 1
Before you start take back up of your registry.

- If you use modem then do as follows:
Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> [modem and modem model] -> Double click on default modem -> Modem -> Maximum port Speed (put on max)
Method 2:
Turn off Phishing Filter in IE 7
Click on Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced
Near the bottom of the list of options, it has a Phishing heading and 3 options. Set it to "Turn off automatic web site checking".
Alternatively you can download and apply IE7 Phishing Filter Speedup Patch. M*cro$oft has released patch for IE7 that speeds up the built-in phishing filter, which otherwise can slow down your web surfing. It can be downloaded from here

You can speed up browsing by good use of temp files. Go to IE options -> General -> Temporary internet files -> Settings
there are 4 options for "check newer versions of stored files" check to "never". This speeds up browsing drastically. whenever you want apage updated just press refresh. It helped me a lot atleast
