Thread: Tips for Good Broadband Speed

When choosing a broadband operator, we first look at the speed they provide and the speed that they mention is generally the maximum speed which is achieved during certain times or conditions you can say. This actually means that the speed which broadband operators mention is not actually guaranteed and majority of the time you don’t get anywhere near to the maximum speed mentioned.

However there are some things which can be done by yourself to help raise the speed of your broadband connection, which are based on your connection.

The factors which can lead to slowing down the speed of your broadband are:

Quality of ADSL Line
For those who use ADSL broadband, copper wires are used and this means a degrade in the signals. You can not do much about this apart from checking that your phone line is in good condition, as if it is in a bad condition it can be the cause of weak signals.

Hardware for Internet
When it comes to using hardware for your internet connection, its important to have high end and the best quality hardware to ensure that you get the highest of speeds. The hardware which you require includes modems and routers. For those who use routers it’s also important to use multiple access points and also antennas.

Wiring
It's always important to have less of a mess with wires, and the in fact the more the mess of wires you are putting an affect on your broadband speed. To make it more efficient and give better results use shorter wires to connect your PC from the modem.

Opening multiple websites
When you open a number of web pages, you are actually lowering your system as well as your speed. So try not to open multiple web pages.

Although these are very simple things which many of you may know, but its a quick guide to those who are new to using broadband, and hope it helps them.

I'd say the 2nd, 3rd and 4th point are... a little misleading.

Yes, you should have good hardware to connect to the net, but any old run-of-the-mill hardware should be more than sufficient for the download speeds in India. If we were looking at 50-100mbit/s connections, this might be a different story.

The wiring though... if we're talking about Router to your PC's ethernet port, anything up to 100 meters is fine, so long as it's Cat5e or Cat6. If we're talking about USB, then 5 meters is about the highest you should go.

Opening multiple web pages on a modern system (<5 years old) should be fine, though each of the pages will load more slowly. The time taken to open 5x 100kB pages separately should be about the same as opening 5x 100kB pages simultaneously, the only difference is that with the latter scenario, the slow page loading speed is more noticable.

Thank you very much preetijee for a very informative article.

"However" the article is "VERY INFORMATIVE"
