We list them below:. The general idea with this would be to test your speeds using the default DNS servers, and then switch to a manual pair Google DNS are a good bet to see if your speeds are better. See our article on DNS for gaming for more on this. This could be anything from overloaded servers to technical issues that simply slow down the speeds available at any given time. It can even also happen that submarine cables that connect the internet between countries and continents get damaged , and this can slow down the internet in certain parts of the world.
The acid test on this is as mentioned above — plug any suitable device you have into the router directly with a cable and check your speeds using speedtest. Obviously, we have less control of this, but there are services that can track the current status of ISP services in your country.
Word of outages and problems also spreads rapidly on social media these days. The Downdetector service is great to check the status of your current service. Check for your country:.
Internet providers usually get on top of these things quickly nowadays. We realize this article is more aimed at people who are getting much lower speeds than they know their internet package is capable of.
In these cases, there probably is something wrong. However, for users that might be getting speeds a little bit or moderately lower than their theoretical maximum, remember that the way internet packages are advertised can be misleading in certain countries. The headline speeds advertised can sometimes be theoretical maximums that are never or almost never actually reached.
Actual speeds will vary depending on factors like network usage and your connection. This does vary around the world — in the UK for instance, regulators have become wise to this and forced ISPs to only advertise average peak time speeds rather than theoretical maximums users will never actually get.
See our article on the topic. So this is something to take into account. It can be easy to confuse the difference between download speeds and file sizes. File sizes are measured in Megabytes, or most commonly Gigabytes — a much larger unit of measurement than bits and megabits.
A bit is eight times smaller than byte, and therefore a megabit is eight times smaller than a megabyte, and a thousand times smaller still than a gigabyte. Post thread. Question Windows 10 slow, keeps crashing and graphical glitches on old hardware.

Although there is no internet connection speed issue on other mobile devices and computers connected to the same modem, the internet download speed is 2 Mbps and the upload speed is 9 Mbps on my computer.
I've tried the most common solutions suggested on Microsoft's site and other sites on the subject. None of them worked out. I reinstalled Windows 10 by protecting the files and programs on my computer, but there was no solution. I also shut down all non-Windows applications and services that started automatically when the computer was booted, again, there was no solution. I tried more actions without any solution. My computer did not have such a problem 2 weeks ago. It started suddenly.
Windows 10 Pro was upgraded recently to version Even though, I'm not sure I suspect this might be the problem. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Labels: Labels: slow download speed WiFi Windows Tags: slow download speed.
