How Can I Improve My Internet Speed?

There is a single query that links all Internet users placed everywhere (and anywhere) in the world.

It is the question of how the net Internet bandwidth speeds experienced by a particular service subscriber can be increased.

And oftentimes, it really doesn’t matter whether the downloading speeds attained by an end-user are sufficient to meet his/her online needs – as human beings, we simply want more!

What is considered fast is soon thought of as slow, and the cycle continues…with no state of rest or contentment in between.

The internet is currently ripe with a large number of resources that detail how to go about doing this, but not all tips and tricks have been proven to yield effective results. Some are simply fads posted by people unfamiliar with the intricacies of the World Wide Web – and these ‘solutions’ can actually end up doing more harm than good to your Internet service.

Others, however, are more genuine, and can be counted upon to improve your service speed dynamics.

And this is where the purpose of this post comes in – to acquaint you with some of the good ones out there.

Although most of these tips don’t issue any dramatic increases in internet connection performances, their effects are noticeable in the sense that they make your subscription service more reliable.

You might currently be experiencing rickety streaming performance on Netflix or YouTube, say – where the video always appears to be stuck in the buffering state, and never seems to proceed smoothly. After applying one of our nifty hacks (from the list given below), you might actually get past this virtual blockade – and reclaim your Internet sessions.

Along with your sanity too; if you’ve been angered enough!

1.   Run a spot Speed Test

The first step towards ensuring that you get good Internet speeds is to do an initial speed test. These can be conducted for free through a range of online utilities, such as the popular Speedtest by Ookla service application. What these simple software tools do is that they provide you with the actual data on your Internet service’s ping rate (the time that it takes for your system to communicate with your Internet network and back), download speed and upload speed.

Lower ping rates (below the 20 ms mark) are better – as they indicate faster response and data-transfer times. The inverse, of course, is true for downloading & uploading speeds.

2.   Reboot Your Modem & Router Devices

This trick might seem simple (and a ‘no brainer’), but it is one of the most practically useful ones out there.

Sometimes, intense Internet surfing sessions have the effect of heating-up your Internet service receiving (Modem) and broadcasting (Router) devices. On other occasions, operating an in-Home wireless network over a single digital frequency or channel can result in transmission lags – that require a system-wide reboot to clear things up.

So before you attempt doing any other step, start with the simplest option. Turn off your devices for a bit.

3.   Relocate Your Wireless Receiver

If you’re using a wireless modem to receive digital signals from your ISP, and are facing consistently low bandwidth speeds, chances are that your receiver might not be located in the proper place. Most wireless modems come equipped with LED lights and displays that indicate the signal strength at a particular place. These can be used as guides to locate suitable locations (which are usually on the top floor) in one’s home.

4.   Switch to a Wired Service

Wired services, such as cable linkages connected to Ethernet channels, provide the advantage of relaying fast and unhindered data-signals than their wireless device counterparts. This benefit does not only pertain to the Internet, but extends to all digital transmission services.

Cable Internet services enable their users to pursue a range of intense and bandwidth-consumptive online activities including multiplayer gaming and HD video streaming. Wireless Internet services normally prove to be lagging in delivering the speeds required to surf the web to its full potential.

5.   Clean Your Browser’s Cache Stores

Cache stores are your browser’s go-to resource for speeding up the loading times of those websites that you choose to visit regularly. While these can provide definite advantages in the short-run, their continual storage can significantly reduce browser speeds over the long haul. For this reason, it is important to completely delete them once in a while.
