[p][font size="3"][font color="#ffa500"]Fellow Xfans,

[p][font size="3"][font color="#000000"]Screaming at the mobile screen while you wait forever for websites to load? If yes, maybe it’s time to find out why your internet connection is so slow.[font color="#000"][font size="3"]There are many contributing factors to connectivity when using the Internet: it is not just about the type of your internet service provider, or the features of your smartphone - different issues can present various combinations of issues, causing trouble with your internet connection. Most commonly, internet connection speed is affected by types of Internet access, issues within your phone, or by external factors. Let's start to explore![br]

[div align="center"][br][/div][p][font size="3"][font color="#008000"]1. Crowded Network[br][font size="3"][font color="#000000"][font size="3"][font color="#000000"]If you’re not the only person using your network, you’ll be sharing bandwidth. The pipeline between your devices and the internet is limited, and if a lot of devices try to send and receive a lot of data, they’ll have to take turns. This will slow down the internet for everyone connected. For Wi-Fi networks, numerous connected devices can also lead to a slowdown, as the Wi-Fi communicates with each device in turn.[font size="3"][font color="#000000"][br]

[p][font size="3"][font color="#008000"]2. Being far away from the router:[br][font size="3"][font color="#000000"]One simple reason why your internet may not be working as well as it should be is that you’re not in a great spot to pick up a Wi-Fi signal. If you’re far from the Wi-Fi router or have many walls, floors and lots of objects between your device and the router, you’ll probably have a poor connection that can slow down your internet access. Stone, brick and concrete walls will especially interfere with your signal, as can any device giving off its own wireless signal, like a smart home device. If you can carry your device somewhere else, this is an easy fix.[br][br][font size="3"][font color="#008000"]3. Issue with data plan along with speed:[font size="3"][font color="#000000"][br][font size="3"][font color="#000000"]Sometimes, your internet is slow because you’re only paying for slow internet. Log onto your provider’s website (or give them a call) and find out what plan you have. If you’re just paying for slow internet—and the best way to speed it up will be to upgrade.[br][br][font color="#008000"][font size="3"]4. Local congestion[font size="3"]or ISP throttling:[br][font size="3"][font color="#000000"]Another reason you might be getting slow internet, and one that’s not easy to do anything about, is simply that there are tons of people using up the bandwidth available to your neighborhood. The area you live in doesn’t have an unlimited pipeline to the internet, and if a huge population is all on the internet at once, the congestion can slow down the internet. This probably won’t happen often, but when it does, you’re going to hate it.[br]

[div align="center"][br][/div][p][font size="3"][font color="#000000"]When everyone in town is trying to stream[font size="3"][font color="#000000"]You’re a bit more likely to see your internet speeds slow down if your ISP is one that uses throttling on its heaviest users. Some ISPs have bandwidth caps, and if your data usage exceeds that cap, you might get throttled internet speeds for the remainder of the month as the ISP tries to ensure other users in your area don’t see reduced speeds. To get rid of such issue, contact with your ISP before throttling your speed due to excessive usage![br][br][font color="#008000"][font size="3"]5.[font size="3"]Bandwith[font size="3"]hogging[font size="3"]due to[font size="3"]b[font size="3"]ackground process:[font size="3"][font color="#000000"][br][font size="3"][font color="#000000"]It might not even be your neighbors that are stealing the bandwidth available to you. Let’s face it, our phones and electronic devices do a lot of stuff behind the scenes that we don’t even realize is going on. If you’re browsing the internet while the automatic update is turned on, your browsing may be slower than usual. To fix the automatic update of apps is recommended to be turned off. You may also clean up the unnecessary tasks from the task manager to get more free RAM.[br]

[p][font size="3"][font color="#008000"]6. Issues with DNS server:[br][font size="3"][font color="#000000"]When you type an address into your browser—like Infinix.club—your phone uses something called DNS to look up and translate that into a phone-friendly IP address. Sometimes, though, the servers your phone uses to look up that information can have issues, or go down entirely. If your default DNS servers aren’t having problems, then you probably won’t find too much of an improvement with an alternative server—but it might speed up your browsing by a few milliseconds, at least.[br]

[p][br][font size="3"][font color="#0000ff"]Fellow X Fans, sometimes slow internet is the universe’s way of telling you to go play outside. Other times, it’s the universe’s cruel joke to destroy your productivity. Hope the aforementioned tips will help you to troubleshoot, fix, or just survive a slow internet connection.Signing off for now!
