🐌 Why Is My Internet So Slow?

Whether you're streaming, gaming, or just trying to load a website — slow internet is frustrating. Here’s how to figure out what’s causing it and what you can do.

📶 Common Causes of Slow Internet

• Too many devices: Phones, tablets, TVs, cameras — all fighting for the same bandwidth.
• Old router or modem: Older equipment may not support faster speeds.
• Wi-Fi signal issues: Distance, walls, or interference can weaken your signal.
• Background downloads: Automatic updates or cloud backups may be hogging bandwidth.
• Your internet plan: You might be paying for low speeds without realizing it.

🔧 How to Speed Things Up

1. Restart your modem and router (unplug for 30 seconds).
2. Move your router to a central, open spot in your home.
3. Limit streaming or downloads while using important apps.
4. Update your router firmware or consider upgrading your hardware.
5. Contact your provider to make sure you're getting the speed you pay for.

📱 Bonus Tips

• Use a wired Ethernet connection for faster, more stable performance.
• Install a Wi-Fi extender if you have dead zones in your house.
• Use tools like speedtest.net to check your connection speed.
