Simple steps to FIX your Internet Speed that anyone can follow

[@ChodaBoyUSA]

It makes me sick, and ANGRY, when I see you can get 1 GB fiber for not much more than I have to pay for "up to 300Mbps" with a DATA LIMIT. This is all because regional monopolies are still legal and there is not competition here. 🤬 But I am happy for you and others who pay less.

I enjoy this channel and look forward to new videos. Here's something that I hope will help someone with slow wifi. My 2-yr old laptop was testing at a slow download speed on a 2.5 Gig system with little else using bandwidth. By accident, I discovered my power profile was the culprit. It was on max battery and minimum processor power. When I changed it to "high performance", my wifi speed consistently tests about 3 times as fast. ( By the way, I had changed my power profile to high performance, but found that it keeps switching back to max battery. That will be my next issue to resolve.)

[@samitechcookie9758]

@@philliprickman1394 thank you! Indeed slow drive read/write speeds, possibly following from lower power plan, can affect the internet speed. Sometimes it might be the network adapter driver, sometimes the network configuration (e.g. DNS)

[@scottgill7854]

Great tips. This is coming from an isp troubleshooter. Only thing missing is to check your computer card. If it will only handle 500 and you are paying for a gig, you’re wasting your money unless you want to upgrade your computer .

[@LironSegev]

Great point! Thanks for sharing that and being here 🔥

[@denturedaddy3362]

I noticed that with Comcast if you’re using your own router instead of theirs they will limit how much data you can download (around 1TB per month) so they will throttle without you even knowing. Unfortunately even with the highest speed with your own router it will throttle. You unfortunately have to pay a extra $30 a month for unlimited. But since I did it I can actually stream in 4K through twitch without any issues with fr drop.

[@Rightly_Divided]

You should also really consider the source you download from. Your slow download speed could also relate to the fact that you are actually just connected to a server that cannot push out a certain bandwidth. Some sites will take longer than others for certain downloads. It may just be the site you are connected to.

[@357JohnM]

[@KevinMillard68]

you got one thing right at the first of the video its upto the speed your paying for but this can only happen in the best possible conditions and you also need the supported hardware to also attain said speeds as well, we had a 300mbps router and only say 90s down and 10s up so we went and got a gigbit router which also allowed us to turn on gigabit on our computers then we say more then 3 times the speed so do the math kids you need the rest of the gear not just the package you paid for .

[@mikeslater6246]

Solid information but I would only add one thing. There are dishonest techs that work for the ips's. And the service May encourage them to be that way. But first I'll say not all of them are dishonest. That being said, don't let them do like one tried to do to me. He kept insisting I was getting the 200 MBS that I was paying for because he could see it on the cable on his side of the router. I was only seeing 40 to 50 MBS on my side of the router. He thought I was stupid. They lost me as a customer and when the provider kept calling me to try to get me to come back I told him I wouldn't because I didn't like being lied to by their technicians.

A video about fixing gaming lag (not on wifi) would be great

[@irish7611]

YES!! Plz

[@mrnobody043]

Not all gaming lag is caused by internet traffic. Input devices can also cause this, drivers can cause this, bad RAM can cause this, graphic card can cause this.. so many bottlenecks that have a probable cause outside of the internet. If you have a problem with lag and you think your internet connection should be ok, you need to go down the list of probable causes. Clean driver installs would be the first thing to do in any case. try different resolutions, running certain high taxing games on max settings on 4k with RTX on can cripple your machine if it can't handle it. causing more issues than just lag.. Reddit offers many checklists on almost every popular game for you to check out.

[@Mr.Mooody]

[@slof69]

he basically means packet loss

[@citizenkimi]

Operators here in Brazil are really BS because they don't explicit the suffix to your network speeds, just advertising all as "mega". Well, this just gets ridiculous since I can measure them considering as both Mbps and MBps and it's always under that range... EXCEPT I use my Ethernet cable. Diff solved and in at least one measure it usually reaches the supposed value (obviously Mbps, once the proportion for it is higher over MBps). As mobile devices don't tend to use as much immediate band I'm leaving it this way for now.

[@ANTAGONIST_2.0]

I like your approach. No BS, straight to the point. Best regards.

[@Sas_HeatherC]

Not exactly why you assume people have an option. Century Link is a monopoly here. We only get 25 mega bits per second max on DSL. They refuse to change it because that would mean they would have to spend money to upgrade our area. We can't even get cable here. I live only 2.2 miles from town.

[@Flytrap]

When I was using AT&T for broadband, I was supposed to be getting 50 Mbs, but I usually was in to 35-40 Mbs range. I called them and was told, after some testing and resetting that, since I was getting 75% of what I was supposed to get, there was no issue. I asked them if it was OK if I just sent them 75% of the bill. They didn't like that. I soon switched to Spectrum, which was a much better option. My speed usually exceeds what they promise.

[@lynnzij1231]

Lol great question about the bill 🤣🤣... incidentally when I had ATT (woth wires) everything was great. Then a family member started using photoshop and video so ATT couldn't handle the video stuff and we had to switch to the only other provider in our area, Spectrum. It's been a couple years now and it is the worst service ever. Absolutely terrible. Zoom meetings keep crashing, speed of email and browsing sooo slow. Now that we are wireless I can't go back to ATT with wires.... spectrum sucks.

I connected my laptop to this PC's LAN cable & it showed a speed of 300Mbps. What could be the problem with this PC?

[@t02fy4tc0sx]

Check your modem/router can support all your devices. 1. check your modem/router settings and all the connected devices. 2. Check for damaged cables. 3. Check for bottle necks: Modem or Router. If your router has so much bandwidth but you have 8 devices all connected to your router then you might want to upgrade your router to a higher bandwidth.
