Internet is a global network of computers providing a variety of information and communication services which consists of interconnected networks following a standardized communication protocol.
Today, we can do almost anything using an Internet connection. Using Internet, you can get information on almost any topic, do video and audio calls, watch videos and audios and download them etc. You are reading this article that too is only because of Internet.
Gone were the days when the Internet data packages were costly. Today, there are various Internet plans out in the market which provide cheap data packages for Internet users.
The most annoying thing in today's world, that we all face in our day to day life, is slow Internet connection. Specially, we feel most annoyed when we are trying to search any important information urgently and nothing loads on the screen rather only the loading sign keeps on moving on the screen.
When we are in such a situation we feel very much annoyed and irritated. We look for such trick which immediately resolves our problem. If you have also been in such a a situation then this post is for you.
In this post we'll discuss a number of ways which in 90% cases fixes this issue.
The most productive ways in tackling slow Internet connection problem
Whenever you have a slow Internet connection you can follow the below steps which in most cases solves the problem:Perform a speed test and check your data plan
Next time whenever you have slow Internet connection go to fast.com or any other speed testing app or website and perform a speed test. It is important because in some cases the service (like website or app) you are using, the problem lies there. So you need to first ensure that the problem is in the network.Check your plan
If the problem is not in the service you are using, then you need to check you data package. It is possible that you may have consumed your daily data limit(if you have a prepaid plan) or your payment may be due for a long time (if you have a post paid plan), which may be responsible for your slow Internet connection.Reduce your data speed in settings
It may be sounding ridiculous but it is actually very much helpful. It is because sometimes the higher generation signals are unable to reach your device due to low network coverage. For changing your data speed setting go to your phone's settings and select sim cards and mobile networks option. Now, select the name of the sim whose data you are using and select preferred network type option. Then, click on 3G option. In most cases, this solves the problem. After few hours you can again set your data speed settings to default.Restart your device
Sometimes you try all tricks but end up with no result. In such a situation the problem may be in your device or handset. For this you just need to restart your device. If you are facing the problem on your mobile phone, then switch off your phone and switch on it only after a time interval of 30 seconds or 1 minute.Call your Internet Service Provider
If the above steps do not solve your problem then you don't have any option left than calling your ISP. The person whom you will talk to, will tell you specifically what is wrong with your connection. It is important because many times the things go wrong which cannot be adjusted by us but by the customer care service of the company.
Below are the numbers of some famous ISPs which you can use to contact yours-- Jio customer care no. - 1800 889 9999
- Airtel customer care no. - +234 802 150 01119 (for non-Airtel phone) & 111 (for Airtel phone)
- AT&T customer care no. - 1-800-288-2020
- Verizon customer care no. - 855-983-1425
Problem still not solved? Fix it with the new tri-target method
If you have the problem of slow Internet again and again and the above method did not solve your problem then the tri-target method is for you. As the name suggests the method consists of 3 steps. This method gives instant results and if you follow the 3 steps below then you will definitely get past your problem-
Step 1: Go to the browser you use most often. Here I have taken the example of Google Chrome, you can follow this step for others as well. So, go to Chrome and click on three dots situated on the top right corner. Now, select the settings option. Then select the site settings option and click on the storage option on the next window.Now click on the clear storage option at the bottom. Do this atleast once a week. Doing this is important because the data stored by the sites you visited on the phone may consume some Internet reducing your speed. Now, click on the previous button of your phone to go back once. Now select the background sync button and on the next window disable the background sync option. This is important because the sites you visited may try to sync their site's data on your phone in the background and thereby using Internet unnecessarily.
Step 2: Open your phone's settings and select the mobile data option. Now select the sim card name, you are using and click on the Access Point Names (APN) option on the nest window. Now click on the default APN, active on your phone. On the next window select the server option. A text box will appear. Fill "www.google.com" (without quotes) in the space provided and click the OK button. Now click on the save button and restart your device.
Step 3:Again go to your phone's settings and look for data saver option and enable it. It would limit the unnecessary consumption of data, thereby increasing your Internet speed.
So whenever you have a slow Internet you can follow the above steps.
If slow Internet connection is a regular problem for you and the above steps do not solve it then, I think its the time for you to change your ISP. Some companies make it sure to listen your complains while some have a habit of ignoring it. If your complains are too ignored by the company, whose plan you are using, then its the time to teach them a lesson.
I hope this post solved your problem. If you have any queries related to this post, you can ask them in the comment section, I'll be glad to answer.
