Ensure you have good Wi-Fi strength if you are
connecting via Wi-Fi
Ensure you have no background bandwidth consuming
programs active. E.g. automatic updates, program updates, antivirus
updates.
Stop all heavy activity e.g. streaming music/
downloading movies/ uploading huge files.
Stop all torrent activity i.e. downloading and seeding.
Close all tabs on your internet browser.
Disconnect all other users from the network( Both Wi-Fi
and Cable)
It’s important to ensure you keep your Wi-Fi password
safe to make sure no unwanted guests are piggybacking on your network.
At times, and especially after an upgrade, a Reset on
the modem may improve the speeds. The reset button is mostly located
behind the modem. Remember to save any settings before resetting the
modem. This button is almost always sunk but you should be able to access
it with a straightened-out paper clip.
Run a speed test preferably on cable connection on www.fast.com. The speed test will give more accurate
results if all the above factors have been observed.
