A lot depends on how the Internet works. This is especially important for people whose activity is connected with constantly being on the network, using online services, downloading applications, sending messages and many other manipulations that require a high connection speed.
Any user of the network is familiar with such a situation when the
Internet is very
slow: the pages are barely loading, the file with the photo or video is sent indefinitely, with several open tabs the browser freezes.
There are several reasons for the slow Internet operation. It must be said right away that any type of wireless Internet is an unstable connection, highly dependent on external conditions, so failures in its operation are common. As a rule, the Internet provided by mobile operators has a low speed. If we are talking about wired high-speed Internet, and it suddenly began to “slow down” a lot, you first need to contact your provider to find out how the Internet works with your service provider.
Perhaps the provider has had a malfunction in the equipment or it can not cope with the increasing load during peak hours. It is possible that the supplier has reduced speed due to the fact that the user has already used the amount of traffic that is provided at high speeds under the contract. In this case, it makes sense to change the tariff plan to a more suitable one. If everything is in order here, then the reasons must be sought in the computer.
Internet speed depends not only on the provider, but also on the user's work, namely on the order in his software. How does the Internet work if viruses are started on the computer?
Malicious software is not such a rare reason for speed reduction. Therefore, first of all, you need to run an antivirus scanner and conduct an in-depth scan of all drives. If no viruses are detected, it is recommended to conduct an additional scan using Dr.Web's CureIt utility, which is able to recognize viruses that are invisible to antivirus software.
If, as before, the Internet does not work well, you need to check which programs that consume network resources work in a mode invisible to the client and whether their work affects the speed of the Internet. As a rule, these are applications launched by the system. Some of them are necessary, while others got to the computer accidentally with downloaded programs and require removal or shutdown.
The speed may decrease when the system is updated, when the anti-virus program, which scans every file thoroughly, is activated when the firewall and firewall are active. You need to temporarily disable these applications and see how the Internet works in this case.
If even after this the pages load slowly, then the browser cache may be full and the disk space is too “clogged”. Through the browser settings, you need to clear the cache and delete temporary cookies. All unnecessary discs are quickly and efficiently removed by the special Ccleaner program, which can be downloaded from the Internet and installed on a computer. After the cleaning procedure, you need to check how the Internet works.
