Is there any possible way anything that i could improve my internet connection?

GreenJesus

My internet is terrible. I pay 40$ for my internet every 2 months. It's the best internet i can get in my area. I CANNOT get a better ISP in my area. Im looking for any other alternative that isn't changing my ISP. My Internet is about 3mb upload and 5 mb down (at best). When there are multiple devices on my internet my upload can drop down as low as 0.1 mb's upload(or about 400 ping). I use my internet mainly for video games, mainly cs:go. I get around 80 ping at best. I have a dsl connection (dosent help watsoever). I used to get around 60 ping until i moved into a different room ( i got a new computer). The difference between this comp and my old comp is that my old comp was wireless. In my current computer I don't have that thing that is used to make your computer wireless(cant think of the name). I want to have it so i can get around 50 ping but idk if that is possible without changing ISP. However if there is anything that could improve my internet even a tiny bit pls tell me. Also, ik that this seems like a dumb post that i could just google it. But whenever i do that i always seem to run into some sort of stupid difficulty and have noone to ask for help. You may also think it is stupid that i havent just bought that thing that is used for wireless internet. I just feel like maybe there is a better route(getting a new dsl cable or smth) Idk just give me some feed back pls thx <3

A computer being wireless shouldn't make the connection better than a wired connection (unless the wire is basically broken or an old cable that may be a standard that isn't as capable and if anything it could have a negative effect) and you're pretty much out of luck, the only option is just changing isp or plan.

Aside getting a better plan from your ISP there really isn't anything you can do. You can pick up a wireless adapter card or wireless USB for pretty cheap but being wired should result in better ping compared to wireless unless, as was pointed out above, one of the wires is damaged.

Get a cheap powerline adaptor (from tplink, netgear or Dlink) and then wire one up to your computer and one up to your router.
