Of course, sometimes you do not need to go directly to IT support if you simply want to speed up your connections. Here are some rules that you can follow to help speed up your internet connection.

Fix faulty parts

One of the reasons that you could have slow internet connections would be defective parts. The routers, modems or even the cables may be worn down or completely wrecked. This would definitely affect the speed of your internet connection.

To fix this, you may want to contact your ISP to replace the defective modems and cabling or even to contact a computer repair shop to replace WiFi cards or lan cards that are not working efficiently.

Ensure that your system is clean

Another common reason for slow internet connections is that if your computer has virus or malware. These kinds of harmful software in your computer can take over the internet connection by downloading illegal data or even uploading some of your private files.

If you think that your system is infected with a virus or other forms of malware, then you may want to consider getting an IT support team to do a remote PC repair service for your computer. They may be able to take out these malware that took over your system so that the speed of your internet connection would once again be restored to its original state.

Upgrade your internet plans

If after all the IT support and PC repair jobs, you still find that your computer’s internet speed is slow, then perhaps you would need to think about upgrading your internet plans to the next tier. You may want to look at a higher data speed and data plan if you think the speed is still insufficient.

Of course, you should know that a higher data speed would usually have a significant increase in price. That is why you should balance your need for higher internet speeds with the price or cost of having to upgrade your existing internet plans.

    It is really very important to secure your WIFI network, and not only speeding up your Internet connection by not letting other people use your bandwidth for free but for your own protection as well. MAC address filtering is a great way to go (among other solutions of course)!

    The best method to speed up an Internet connection is to upgrade your ISP plan! But unfortunately, this is also the most expensive method. Haha…

    Btw, if its a wireless one then distance and obstructions in path matters. Plus depends on the technology. Also sometimes it is just a bandwidth issue if there are too many users. If you are in US you could also be throttled :).
