it does not make any difference to your speed. the person who suggested it is probably using a hacked cable modem.

Safe mode: When your PC is booying up, after the bios has loaded up, press F12 (depending on your PC) and you will get into a menu on where you can go into safe mode. There is safe mode, w/networking (internet) & CMD.exe. Either of them will work! It's weird how people don't know safe mode. Even with the name, they probably won't know what it means. SAFE MODE!

Safe mode simply loads windows without any startup items / drivers so that you can uninstall drivers that are bad, or you can get rid of any nasty programs that crash your pc, and about F12, F12 is usually to get into BOOT options or the BIOS, on Windows PCs it is F8, so just sit there and (slam) down the F8 key until you can get into safe mode xD

Can someone here define half-open port?

Edit Nevermind I found it

TCP connections and HALF-OPEN connections… for those who don’t understand the difference, a half-open connection is when your computer has requested a connection to a remote computer, but has not received an acknowledgment back. If the remote computer is overloaded, it can take some time for it to acknowledge the request, during which time your local connection sits there, half open. Eventually it will time out.
