Stvoider Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Your internet service provider for a start. Or perhaps another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereolab Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Few things to check - Check what package you are on with your provider - Compare what they say with an online speed checker - use 2 or three and get an average as they are not 100% accurate, but should be enough to give you an idea - If its way out go to your provider and ask them to look at it - You might be able to upgrade to a faster package, but you might find you are on the best available in your area. - In some cases a mobile dongle might get you better results - if you are a light user with just one laptop, a cheap 3G dongle could do you - if the signal is good in your area one of these could do you http://store.three.co.uk/Mobile_Broadband/Standard_Dongle (This would be no good if you have lots of users in the house) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techman Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Are you connecting via wifi? If you are when you choose your network do you have a lot of others to choose from? You could be getting a lot of interference. Use this guide and free tool to check. You should also go to http://www.speedtest.net and post your results on here.

gillybear Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Anyone recommend someone to speed up my Internet connection? The question is too vague. Can you give specific setup and problems. eg. Do you use one or more computers on the connection? - could be the computer and not the ISP Who is your internet provider? Have you done a speed check? Does speed vary at different times of day? Is it slow for general browsing, downloading, streaming etc.. Have you scanned for Malware/Virusus? Do you have programs like iTunes, Skype, P2P running in the background? Basically the more info we have the better the help we can give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkertelecoms Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Do a speed test http://www.speedtest.net Take the lower access panel off your master socket, plug your router straight into the 'test socket' http://www.hmmm.ip3.co.uk/images/nte5-test-web.png and do the same speed test. If there's a considerable improvement give me ring, yes I can sort out your slow issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
