There are other things that you can do to try to speed up your system.
One is install CCleaner (Free) to clear out lots of old files not needed.
If you have a poor internet connection, I strongly suggest that if you have at least Windows 7 to do the free upgrade to Windows 10.
With a slow connection, it will take hours, but will be worth it in the long-run.
Unlike other Microsoft OS upgrades in the past that bloated the system and did not improve performance, Windows 10 is twice as fast as older OSs.
It also has a browser called Edge, which is light years faster than Firefox.
If you don't believe a long time computer geek, see if a local computer store will do the upgrade for you. Most will do it for nothing as a business promo.
I just upgraded a friend's crappy laptop that he had Windows 7 on and it is now twice as fast (although there is only so much you can do with poor components).
my 2 cents.
PS:
If you have a slow provider you should call their support.
