Why Is My Internet So Slow
A slow Internet connection can be caused by a number of reasons. And now we will list some of the most common reasons for slow Internet connection.
1. The traffic of targeted website
The issue would be easily at their end if you are visiting a particular site or service. Once the bandwidth or the website you are visiting is insufficient or the load is too high, the web pages on that website will load slowly. When people are at home (off work or school) or during weekends, your Internet will be even slower if you try visiting these web sites.
In this case, it is best to visit the site after a while, or, visit another site that provides similar information.
2. The location of targeted website
The location of the web site you are visiting can also determine the speed of your Internet connection. Accessing a web site that is in a different part of the world will be slower than accessing a web site that is hosted closer to you.
3. ISP Network maintenance
The maintenance on network or equipment of your Internet Service Provider (ISP) will also slow down your Internet. Sometimes you even cannot access the web pages you want during the maintenance.
4. The quality of the phone line you are using
Most of the connections made between networks are done over phone lines, therefore the stability of your phone line can also determine your Internet speed. The better the phone lines are, the better your Internet connection will be.
The above are cases that out of your control, while the following are some issues possibly at your end and you can try to boost the Internet speed with corresponding operation.
5. Too many programs starting up at boot up time
When you boot up your PC, not only necessary driver software but also a lot of applications will be enabled. Too many unnecessary startup programs will lead to sluggish machine startup. Besides, the computer resource and memories will also be consumed faster.
You can go to the start menu and disable some unnecessary startup programs.
6. Performing lots of things on the Internet
You probably find that the Internet turns slow when you are doing more than two or three things on the Internet. The situation will be even worse if one of the operations is video, game or other type of files downloading.
Do not run so many applications at a time, the heavy load will make your Internet slow, slow and slow.
7. Computer worms
Virus including computer worms will result in slow Internet connection and software infection.
Remember to keep your antivirus and security software up to dat to avoid virus infection. And be wary of opening attachments or clicking on links in e-mails from people you don’t know.
8. Insufficient system resource
One of the reasons for slow Internet is that you’ve run too many applications or plug-ins in the backend. Install only necessary applications and remove those unused ones, reduce the server load and improve Internet speed.
9. High CPU usage
High CPU usage will lead to slow Internet loading too.
10. Problems with your own network configuration or equipment
Sometimes slow Internet connection may be caused by improper network configuration (such as cache setting, virtual dialup setting of EnterNet 300 on Windows System and so on) or your computer equipment (Maybe your PC is too old to run fast).
As far as the former is concerned, you can modify the settings and it is OK. While when it comes to the later situation, well, you will probably have to buy a new one to instead of your old PC.
11. Computer running nonstop
Sometimes the Internet suddenly becomes slow during your usage, while there seems nothing wrong with the targeted website, the ISP or your network. In fact, everything is OK except that your computer has run for such a long time that he wants a break. Try rebooting it and see whether that is OK.
If you have any other reason for the slow Internet, please share it with us in the comment. We’d love to hear what you think.
