- Restart your computer. It’s a cliché but its true. Most technical issues can be sorted by a simple turn off and turn on.
- Restart your router. Again. Simple and should sort out most problems. Leave around 20 seconds before plugging in your device again.
- Close down some apps or browsers on your computer. There might be some programmes running in the background that are sapping up your broadband.
- Check to see if anyone or any device is streaming music or TV. These can take up a large volume of data and may be responsible for your slower broadband.
- Check to see if there’s a black/brownout of services in your area.
