Do you get aggravated when your internet speed slows down and sometimes crawls as an unbearable rate? Does this trend increase with use? Your bandwidth speed may be lacking and fortunately there are several ways to correct the problem.
You ask, are there something wrong with your computer or is it my poor internet carrier? Good question and there's only one true way to find out. You need to measure your bandwidth speed.
So you want to measure your bandwidth speed? It's simple, just log onto the net, and turn off any programs that might interfere or connect to the internet as well as any other computers on the modem. Visit a bandwidth speed testing site and follow their instructions.
The test site will send you're a moderately sized file from the server, which allows the site to begin measuring the speed at which your computer downloads the file. The reason the test site conducts this operation is to find out how fast, or slow, your computer receives data. The download speed is based on megabits or kilobits per second.
After you receive the results from your bandwidth test, do not get flustered if they return very poor. Sometimes the test is affected by outside factors. I always recommend trying the test again at a later date. Several outside influences may change and yield back a much stronger result.
If both test results return positive than you are in great shape. Your connection speed works properly and the times when it does act slowly, it derives from uncontrollable outside factors.
Poor performing bandwidth connections on the other hand are causes for concern. It could start with your connection. Adware and spyware directly influences network speeds as does your network card and computer. Check these specifications out and research to see if they meet the provider's demands. If they do, or you upgrade and the speed is still slow, a good possibility exists that the internet provider is at fault. Consider switching services with a better provider.
Today it is important to have a strong signal and fast connection speed. People are short on time and cannot stand to wait five minutes for a page to load. Take the bandwidth test and if applicable, find out ways to improve your dysfunctional connection speed.
