Slow Internet
Nothing can be more frustrated than a slow internet connection. I know, you can't enjoy that famous Netflix show or stay connected on Facebook.
But this problem is usually pretty easy to deal with. The problem lies in 2 areas, i.e. internal issue ( issues related to your internet appliance) and external ( related to your Internet Service Provider )
Solutions:
1. Restart the modem
This solution is just like how you would resolve any gadgets. Sometimes a power fluctuation or overused of the internet modem can overload it.
In order to reset everything back to normal, simply switch off the modem, wait for few minutes and turn it back on. You should be good to go in most cases.
2. Fix your wifi signal
Speaking of wifi, you might find that your router and internet are fine, but your wireless signal is weak. This can cause a slowdown-or, at minimum, a latency-filled browsing experience. In that case, you may need to reposition, tweak, and boost your router with a few tricks.
3. Kill any unwanted background software
Sometimes, background processes like software updates or any other programs that require internet maybe pulling your data, hence slow down your internet speed.
By simply check your task manager, you can see the list of this software and are able to kill them off. Turn off any automatic updates in the setting and this should help.
4. Contact your ISP
If none of the above works, your problem is maybe an external issue, i.e. from your internet service provider.
This could be something like a network upgrade, bad weather, wires fixing, etc. Definitely, they will assess your internet signal and inform you of the necessary action to take.
