Things to be suspicious of include cordless phones, speakers, power supplies, light dimmer switches, high intensity lightning, and surge protectors. Moving the modem or rerouting the cables is sometimes enough. 4)Check that the modem is not overheating. 5)Keep the phone cable between the modem and the wall jack as short as possible. 6)Find and remove viruses. Viruses can slow your computer's performance, especially if they've deleted or corrupted critical files. 7)Find and remove spyware.

| Internet Congestion Certain websites may download very slow or be unreachable depending on the condition of the Internet and the time of day. Try a variety of other websites, both within India and overseas and see if you experience any delay from these other websites. Network Setup Do you have a Local Area Network? How many computers are accessing the Internet? Is anyone downloading any large files from the Internet and/or transferring large files between computers on the network? Are there any computers running software sharing programs? All these factors will decrease the available bandwidth and you may experience slower transfer rates. Viruses / Worms Your bandwidth can be utilized by malicious viruses and worms to replicate themselves from infected machines. This can slow your network down considerably. Please make sure your network has the latest virus definition tables from your Anti Virus vendor and that you have also installed the latest Microsoft patches. |
