Yeah, for everyone. Some may not know, because they are fond of using speed internet connections. But keep them in front of a computer with slow connection. I am sure that they may throw the PC or Laptop in anger or he/she is an angel and have the patience to wait. But about 3/4th of the world doesn't have the patience. They want speed internet in their hands. Internet without disconnection, and user friendly.
For that you may need to get a more priced internet connection. But I have some tips to speed up your internet connection that you are using now. Well, for a matter of fact, I only know that some of this will work, but there is no harm in trying, Is there?
01. Contact your Internet Service Provider
This is actually one of the best way to know why our internet connection is slow. Maybe, there is a breakage of a wire or over-traffic in the cable. So before doing anything, contact your service provider and ensure why your internet connection is slow. If it is the problem of the service, they will surely try to correct the problem because customers are the valuable asset of the service provides. Without you all, no company can grow.
You may be staying far off from the providers and as farther you go, that much slow the connection becomes. So if you call and tell the providers your problem, they can amplify the power and you can have fast internet connection.
02. Optimize your Browser
You may not know that all browsers are not the same. Each browser has it's own functionalities and functionalities. So it is best to see the performance of most browser before standing onto one. There are some people that still use Internet Explorer because they don't know about most browsers. They may get slow internet connection and may sometime complain the providers. Complaining about anything doesn't prove anything. Change the browser to what we are comfortable with and that will provide us with the best options.
Browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Opera have better functionalities than most of the others. They do have better features and that enable us to use the internet to its best configuration. But you can check the other browser and check with what you are most comfortable to use. Google Chrome use only a small memory and can be used in sites having JavaScript of Flash files and Mozilla Firefox has many features like blocking JavaScript files or advertisements and Opera has compression technology especially for slow connections
03. Optimize your Device
If you are using a modem, you can optimize it to the best settings allowing you to use more efficient and better internet connection. Changing your settings can sometimes lead to damage or change to your network. So I advice you to ask the help of those who actually know how to change the settings. Don't try it for yourself, if you don't know. It may lead to damage and you may not get any network after that. If you want to learn how, be in the supervision of one who knows about it.
If you are using a router, you can also optimize it to the best setting. You can also place it to the place where you get more coverage and also keep in mind that there should be a direct connection between your PC and the router. Also avoid interference from other wireless devices. in fact keep them a little distance away from the path between the router and computer so that it may not interfere with the network passage.
You can also optimize your Internet service package to better options. You can upgrade to the better package. Buy the one in which you are comfortable with and gives you more access. Don't buy anything that have no range near your home. You can also do a speed test to know how much network you are getting. If it slow, try it on another computer and if it is slow on that computer also, contact the ISP or if it not, configure you PC to the best standards.
04. Prevent Illegal Access
If you are using a wireless connection, make sure that no one is stealing from it. When someone else or many people share a single connection, the speed of the internet can get a lot more slow. Maybe you think that it is the problem of the network. But always be in mind to check that no one has cracked the code and is accessing it without you knowing.
The more people that shares your connection, the more slow it gets. Maybe you just gave it to only one of your friends thinking that he/she will only access it for a limited period of time. But once he/she gets the password, they may share it with their friends which in turn may share to other people. You may only think that only your friend knows the password, but in turn, now the whole neighbourhood knows it. So it's best to find out the statistics of who all are using your wireless connections. And furthermore, be sure to add a WEP password to stop unauthorised users from using your Internet connection or if you can, set up WPA encryption.
05. Check the Bandwidth Usage
There are many application that may use your bandwidth. These may be the program updates or other web applications. These may all run in the background without you knowing. Some of them, may also be assigned to do automatically when the system turns on. So these application may use up all or some of the network in which you have.
So it is best to find out what all applications are running in the background and turn off all which are of no use to you at that time. Sometimes plug-ins in your browser can also take up more bandwidth and memory. So I advice not to put a lot more plug-ins or add-ons in your browser. Keep only that you require and delete all the other. Even it is enabled or not. The plug-ins needs to be loaded and that may take up some of your speed allowing you only a little of the network you actually have.
I also advice you to close the tabs in which you are not looking. Even if you don't do anything, the page is automatically refreshing as new content is published at all times. So that pages even if you are not using consumes a part of your network. So it is best to close the tabs which are not lloking at the time.
06. Scan your PC
Virus attack can also affect your computer which in turn affects your network. Virus are programs that are designed to damage or steal data inside a computer. You may not know whether it is inside the computer, until it is executed. So when it is activated, it may do the work it is supposed to leading to the damage to all your work, morever your programs.
So it is best to prevent viruses and trojans from entering the PC. Install good antivirus and scan your PC at all possible time (at least once a month) and that may find all the virus inside your PC and also prevent other virus, malware or spywares from entering the PC throught the internet connection. As it is said - "Prevention is better than Cure".
07. Take Good Care of your PC
Sometimes, slow internet means not a good PC. Speed and memory of your PC can also affect your network connection. From time to time, browsers and other web applications are updating and they require more and more menory and processing. So dealing with an old computer, this may lead to slow network and even slower computer. So it is best to upgrade our PC first before implementing the network on our computer.
Sometimes it may also be slow on new computers due to over memory usage. People may put a lot of programs at a time such as playing games, listening music, browsing and chatting, working on a photo or audio or video and all at the same time. This leads to over usage of our memory. Our RAM and CPU are just a chip and tha may really get heated up due to over usage. So it is best to close some of the programs and allow the memory to be processed at an equal rate, so that we can use the PC efficiently.
Sometime you may also need to defragment and cleanup your PC, to remove junk files and clean up for better and efficient PC. Uninstall unused programs and check the free space of your hard drive. A full hard drive will slow your computer. You should also turn off the computer when not in use. Give the computer time to rest, so that it will function better.
