A method for improving perception of electronic content from a computer network such as the Internet or an intranet. Network latencies and the type of electronic content such as text, graphical images, animation, voice, video and other electronic content interact to influence user perception of the quality of information provided. As network latency increases and becomes more variable, users typically become less satisfied. The method dynamically adjusts the amount of electronic content presented to user based on a determined network latency. The amount of electronic content is also adjusted progressively and underlying transport protocol such as Transmission Control Protocol ("TCP") and User Datagram Protocol ("UDP") are adaptively adjusted based on the type of electronic content requested (e.g., TCP for text, UDP for graphical images, etc.). The method may improve user perception of requested original electronic content by dynamically sending an amount of original electronic content based on a determined network latency. Improved user perception of original electronic content may help attract and retain, students, customers, contributors, etc. to an organization's electronic content site on a computer network (e.g., a home page on the Internet or an intranet).
