Surely Everyone and even either you are at home or at work, A
fast internet connection is an important part of your daily life. But there are many
hidden secrets which makes your internet slow and you didn't even know about those things. Sometime we even blame our IPS for slow internet
service and in actual some hidden internet usage resource reduce your
overall speed and we think that it a network issue. Now the question is
there any method by which we can increase internet speed without
overspending ? So the answer is Yes, you don't have to overspending on fast internet connection.
Today i will explain some this which will help to reduce extra internet
usage with your knowledge to follow below tips and it definitely boost
your overall internet performance.
#1 Test Your Internet Speed.
Firstly check your internet speed that is this the speed what you should
get ? There are many free tools available online with which you can
check your internet speed.
#2 Compare Test Speed and Actual ISP Speed.
After testing the internet speed compare your test results speed with
your internet connection speed which provided by your ISP and check that
you get a original speed or not from your ISP. Sometimes you don't get
what you pay for then contact your provider. So here I am telling you
how to compare your results. To understand it you need to know the
difference between terms MBps and Mbps. because these things are not same and sometimes it confuses us.
MBps = Megabyte/sec
Mbps = Megabit/sec
So if you get 10 Mbps from your ISP then divided it by 8 and you will
find how much speed you get like 10/8= 1.25 MBps. So the 10 Mbps gives
you 1.25 Megabyte/sec like approximately 1 MB. Now find your speed by
simple calculation and check that how much internet speed you get.
#3 Scan PC To Remove Adware, Virus and Malware.
Scan regularly once a week on your PC or Laptop because there are many
unwanted files, malware and virus which makes your internet speed low as
well decreases your PC's performance. Because it get your resources
from what you are doing. If you have not any antivirus then go and
installed one it keeps your system safe helps to increase your internet
speed. There are many free and paid antivirus available on internet.
Sometime we download any software which contain any adware then it will
setup homepage and install some extension automatically and also show
ads on every page these will reduce internet performance so if are
these problem and don't have any best anti-virus then i recommend to
follow
#4 Stop all Automatic Software Updates.
Stop all the automatic updates and change into Manual updates because sometimes there are many software's which have settings
to automatically update so they regularly going to update without any
permission and sucks internet speed, These are the processes which are
going automatically on background processes and we don't even know about
this. So when you installed any software change their update settings
from automatically to Manual update Our Browser are setup to automatic
update extension so i recommend your to stop all by going through settings in browsers.
#5 Stop Windows Automatic updates.
I know you are thinking about why i am telling to stop all automatic updates.
Even for Windows also. I agree all these updates are important but the
main problem is windows automatically update which some people don't
know and the window have installed automatically new updates regularly
and to download latest updates windows need Internet connection and they
start using it and decrease your internet speed. So on my
recommendation even select time period to download updates or even setup
manual download or if you internet is too fast then select never check
for updates.
How to stop windows automatically update ?
- Go to >> control panel >> windows update
- Then go to left side >> change settings
- Now change it to Never check for updates or Check update Manually.
#6 Remove Unwanted Extension and Toolbar from Browsers.
Remove all the unknown and unwanted extension or toolbar which are not
in use. These add-ons make your internet slower as they take some
internet speed to get themselves updated. For example if you have an
extension and it will notify you every time for some latest updates, it
takes some internet speed and hence decreases your browsing speed and
internet speed.
How to Remove extension ?
- Simply go to any browser and then click on tool
- There is a option in tools for Add-Ons
from where you can manage your extension which are not in use keep them
disable. It will not boost your internet but it will gives you
sufficient benefit.
#7 Change Bandwidth Speed.

decrease your PC performance and get down all the processes slow as well
as internet.
But If your PC' performance is good but your internet speed slow then
