Sloooooooow internet

due to network problem, your internet might get slow..

Hi all

Just lately our internet seems to be getting slower & slower. It has got to the point that my better half nearly though out our laptop !

We have a fairly new D-link sky router. However, at times it can be servicing 3 laptops. 1 desktop, & 4 mobile phones. Should the loading make that much difference ? The laptop is almost 4 years old (wireless without an adapter) , is there a way to speed it up ? Or a better router system ? We have another router if that can be incorporated to improve things ?

Thanks

You should contact your network operator/provider, maybe they know what to do. It might also need a great clean up or some certain virus might interfere that makes your internet connection very slow.

I would have found a telecomms forum for a detailed answer. This type of problem bugs some customers for months on end.

I now advise people never to have their comms equuipment touched, added to etc, unless the person doing it can prove the effect it will have on the line.

It can be a complex issue - It can be 5 mins to solve. Just done a job in W11 guy had 250 kbps (quarter of a Meg)

Took 10 mins to get him to 21Meg
(Problem was electrician had wired the circuits with alarm wiring & also wired the points to the same method as an electrical circuit.)

Your first port of call is to see what your synch rate is on the modem, simply log in 192.168.0.1

User: admin

pword: sky


Should show you these settings on the first page. Download speed & Upload speed

This is the rate at which the modem can see the exchange path. (Your capable speed from the exch)

Next log on to speedtest.net on a different tab.

Now compare the 2 speeds
The throughput speed (Modem speed) may be 7M?? The Output speed (speedtest) may be 1Meg

You are showing an inconsistancy of 6M between the 2 speeds.

Now if this is the case it could be a matter of, an electrician has wired the telephone sockets (How I make most of my "drink" money) - or there could be a problem with the type of cabling used, wrong type of extension sockets, faulty wiring etc etc.

Are you testing from the master point or do you not have a master??
Do you have extensions? If so how many?

If you are showing no inconsistancys on the speeds - Or the modem exchange settings are not "sky high" (something you need to learn about to diagnose this type of fault) it could be your PC processor or sofware issue.

But the first port of call is to always check the modem synch rate.

Hi,

...I'm new in town.about your problem.

1. run from 'control panell' the windows defender for any viruses or connections problems(it take a bit longer if you never did it.
2. try to follow the insructions and clean a bit any history or reg.
3. if you got any antivirus uninsall it. the firewall from microsoft it's ok should be 'turn on'.
4. disable any automatic updata from microsoft.
5. Keep on screen only icons as shortcuts(small arrow corner)

Try it....

Thank you. C.B.:santa5:

Before I did any of that, I would check the date of the original post it's two years old guys, I'm sure he's sorted now!

Just looked at Uniblue £20 to buy ?

Why not try for Free Windows Cleanup Tool for deleting junk files.
