Why is my internet so slow ?


i. Check whether you’re streaming or downloading anything that might be using bandwidth during the Speedtest, and then try testing again. If your Speedtest result still seems slow, try rebooting your device or your router, and ensure that your router does not have any Quality of Service (QOS) features turned on.
ii. If that doesn’t fix the problem, here are a few more steps you can try. If none of that works, contact your ISP or carrier for help. Keep in mind that on higher bandwidth connections (150 Mbps and above), you will need a higher quality router to keep up.

Why am I getting different speeds between my computer and my phone/tablet?

  1. Speedtest is measuring your real-time network connection, so tests taken within a few minutes of each other might vary a little based on network congestion and available bandwidth. If your Speedtest results are significantly different, make sure that you’re:
    a.Testing the same connection. If one device is on Wi-Fi and the other is not, you’re testing the speeds of different connections.
    b.Testing to the same server. Speedtest automatically selects a server to test to based on ping, but you can also select a server to test to.
  2. Also, note that there are large variations in Wi-Fi and cellular radio quality and MIMO stream handling quality between devices. These variations can cause a device to deliver slower test results than another device or computer.

Why should I test my internet speed with an internet speed test

An Internet Speed test measures the connecton speed and quality of your connected device to the Internet.It does so by runnig multiple consecutive tests that analyze different aspects of your internet connection ,namely ping(latency),download speed and upload speed . Each of these values represents the connection specific qualities which you can read more about in paragragh after the next .This should give you a clue on how to understand the final speed test results.But before we get to these ,we first want to discuss how to perform each test.
