Internet speed is slow - Troubleshooting Steps
Steps to Troubleshoot Slow Internet:
Equipment restarts are hands down the most effective internet troubleshooting solution. This should always be your first step.
Congestion happens when you overload your internet connection with more traffic than it can handle. To fix it, you can either lower your internet usage or upgrade to a faster plan.
Provider networks can get overloaded the same way your home network can: too much traffic and not enough bandwidth.
You experience a weak Wi-Fi signal when you’re too far from your router, when the signal is forced to pass through obstructive materials, or when other Wi-Fi networks and electronic devices introduce interference. You can fix it by extending your Wi-Fi range, choosing a better spot for your router, or adjusting your router’s settings.
Many internet providers limit how much data you can use per month. When you go over your limit, your ISP may slow your connection. You can avoid exceeding your data cap by keeping track of your data usage or by purchasing more data.
High latency causes your internet to feel sluggish and is particularly frustrating with highly time-sensitive activities like gaming and video calls.
It’s not always your internet connection that’s causing the slowdowns, it could be one or more of your devices. If your slowdowns are limited to certain devices, you should start your troubleshooting efforts with those devices rather than your internet connection; sometimes, they just need a simple restart.
Your ISP may be intentionally slowing down your connection for a number of reasons.
