webdesignmad Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 My internet is going really slow. How can I speed it up, with as small a budget, if any, as possible. It has gone at over 200kb/s before. Please help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManiacDan Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Call your ISP and complain. Find a copy of the contract you signed when you started up, it should have a speed advertised there. -Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gristoi Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Your internet speed is completely dependant on a multitude of different factors: How far you are from your phone exchange The physical quality of your phone line the SNR ( signal to noise ratio ) and attenuation on your line. The amount of incoming and outgoing connection on your pc ( the more crap / spyware / torrents / active p2p on your pc = the more badwidth is taken up The quality of your router Please remeber, even though these will more than likely apply to you, I am basing these on a U.K ADSL connection. And as ManiacDan stated you should call your provider, but using the quoted speed complaint will get you nowhere, as most ISP's state the speed quoted is UPTO and not a given. Dependant on which country u are in there are tools that can tell you all you need to know about your local phone exchange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
