Well, what is your ISP and the plan you have? (if you don't mind).


If you are not comfortable telling the info, then restart your router, upgrade your router maybe, try placing your router in a better location. Run some speed tests throughout the day. It might be a congestion issue or something.

 

Check if your computer/devices don't have any background tasks running.

 

Turn off any VPNS before testing speed test. 

 

Change DNS to 1.1.1.1

Not possible. How do you think this would even work? If you don't get any internet/slow internet there isn't a magical solution to give you more internet.

Either you're not giving enough info, or you're expecting the impossible.

Most lilkely would work. Most of those strategies should work. Except the router ones pertain to your router/modem.

No need to keep making new topics. Let us know who you ISP is, what model of modem you have, which speed of internet plan you're subscribed to, and what your speedtest.net results are when using a hard wired connection to the modem. Then we'll at least have a baseline to refer back to when troubleshooting further.

I answered your question. "Is it possible to keep my internet above a certain speed?" - no, there isn't.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

It doesn't matter, it's impossible to guarantee a minimum speed on mobile data plans. You can get better top speeds and sometimes better coverage, but never a minimum guaranteed speed.

Im sure if you paid enough money, they'd prioritize you as the main guy.

Most ISP's and Mobile Network Providers actually advertise their speeds as "up-to". You could have a plan for 50 mbps and be getting 10 mbps. They didn't break their rules. It was "up-to".

No, he's absolutely right. Pay enough (business class) and you typically get a SLA guaranteeing advertised speeds and uptime. If they don't deliver, you don't have to pay them for those periods.

That is true. However, I didn't mean to quote him. Just was adding to the discussion going on. Since this is what happened to some people. The ISP told them the upto clause.

If you put your phone in a 5cm thick lead box no amount of money will get an LTE signal in there. The point is that you can't guarantee a minimum no matter what because you can't control where the device is and what is between it and the base station.

Have you ever thought about how data actually makes it to your device?

Mobile data is a shared medium anyway, so you're subjected to the usage and airspace of other devices.

If a more traditional cable/DSL provider is available in your area, you'll have a more consistent experience with that.

 

From a physics perspective there's no 'guaranteed minimum' or 'no downtime ever in the entire universe', expensive business circuits have committed data rates although they often are untruthful about the statistics they gather.

My mobile data is slow because of poor coverage in my area and the design of the building I live in.  To send an email I have to leave the phone by a window. It is pointless to use for streaming unless I drive about a mile down the road. 

 

For landline data I get what I pay for.

When I was a business I used two providers. My work was time sensitize so guarantees did not matter. 

Comcast Business was as bad as their consumer service so I dropped it after about a year and went consumer. It was more to do with the many outages than overall speed.  

ATT was better with less outages but slower over all.
