How to speed up my internet?

My family has about 6 laptops a Wii an Xbox and 5 iphones connected to my Wi-Fi all day and our internet is slow. How should I increase the speed… I know nothing about bandwith or anything like that would a new router help?

First of all you'll need to go to the speedtest.net site and test your connection. This will tell you how fast your internet connection is.

When you've done that return with your results and i may be able to help you out. There's no reason to try and give solutions if your base internet connection is slow - nothing will help with all those connections if you've only got, lets say, 1 mbit up and down.

Get a better internet plan

The only way I know is, to call your internet provider and ask if they have a faster internet plan.

You need to pay more money to your ISP for an increased download/upload speed.

Give your grandma a cup orange juice. She will make your internet go faster.

  • Why is my internet speed slow? So I have a netgear router and recently, anything connected to it has had really slow connection speed. My computer (which is wired) and my iPhone (which uses Wi-Fi) both can't load YouTube videos without constant buffering and low res. If it helps I'm with plusnet and just their standard internet service. Not sure what to do as I think I've tried everything
  • Why does my laptop get such bad internet download speed while my Iphone gets 10 times more? My router is downstairs connected to a Windows vista PC. That PC connected with an ethernet cable gets around 90-100Mbs download speed. I did another speed test on my iphone upstairs next to my laptop, and it got 80-90 Mbs. But When I did the speed test on my laptop, it was only 10Mbs down. It's really annoying because it takes like a billion years to open youtube and everything lags.
  • What is your Internet connection speed? Please Answer quickly. My speed is 3 Kbps. Device:- iPhone 2G (1st Gen) Operator: Airtel Country:- IndiA Connection type:- 2G Edge No 3G or 4G available.
  • What internet speed should I order? - 1 I'm looking at up to 3Mbps for $29.99 per month or up to 15Mbps for $34.99 per month, before taxes and fees. I don't want to pay for more than I need, but I want to have enough speed to do what I need to. I'm a college student and I watch lectures online streaming and I have to download and upload homework assignments as well. I also stream Netflix and connect my iPhone to Wi-Fi when I get home. Which would be better for me?
