Does remote desktop help for web surfing on a slow local connection but fast internet on remote computer?

I have slow local internet connection (%26lt;1Mbs) but i can setup a remote computer with faster internet connection (%26gt;7.2Mbs). Will web surfing be (significantly) faster if i set up remote desktop connection so that the slow local connection only needs to show the graphics of the remote computer, while the remote computer actually accesses the internet to fetch the web pages that i surf? Thanks.|||not a chance, you are still limited by the slow connection receiving the information.|||This is incorrect, at least to some degree. It would depend on the video lag (try low resolution). It would also depend on the site's bandwidth; if it is slow, it doesn't matter how fast the connection is.





Keep in mind, that in most situations it won't help, but in some it could.

were you fully awake when you asked this question?


I am sorry but how can going through another computer make the slow one faster? The slow one is still slow.


Now I got it. You have a fast one at work. You paid for the cheapest/slowest internet connection at home. I would think you would get fired for using company computers for personal surfing at home.
