My Internet Is Slow! 10 Points To Make Your Internet Connection FAST!

Hi Friends!

Greetings!!

Today we are going to troubleshoot the most common problem faced by all: My Internet is very slow.

Without wasting a second, lets get started:

#1: Delete all your temp and temporary internet files. Delete cookies.

#2: Repair your internet connection. This link is available in Control Panel-> Network Connections

#3: Check/ recall if you have installed any new software(esp. antivirus). If yes, try Uninstalling the software, and then try reloading your browser. If your favorite sites loads faster now, either change your software or go for a low version of the software(hit-and-trial method)

#4: Reboot/reset your modem. To reset, at the back of your modem, there will be a small button, press it(the button is so small that you may need a pens' tip to do this). To Reboot, simply press the power button and keep your modem off for 1 mins. Then press it again to start it.

#5: Your system might be infected with virus or malwares. Update your anti virus and run a full scan of your system. You may find this Microsoft link for more information

#6: In the command prompt, try these commands:

1. ipconfig/flushdns (press Enter)
2. ipconfig/release (if it does not work, try with ipconfig/releases)
3. ipconfig/renew

#7: If you are using a wireless connection, make sure that it is ENCRYPTED, so that someone else is not using your connection clandestinely. 

#8: If you remember that your internet was running like Bolt on some earlier period, then do a SYSTEM RESTORE to that point of time.

#9: Last but not the least, RESTART your machine and try!

Not to make it as the 10th point, but even if you are not able to get your internet connection as it was earlier, please contact your ISP, check if anything is wrong with them.

Disclaimer: You will get the speed less than the what you have purchased from your ISP. So the above steps are to make your system make the maximum use of your internet connection.

Hope the 10 steps get you a better internet speed.

Happy surfing!
