You can control your Internet connection speed or bandwidth of three ways. You can access your Internet account provider, you can control the speed on a website, and his team can provide this information. However, it is not unusual to stop the speed of different band on each of those tests. This article explores these variations exist and provides step by step instructions on how to control the speed of your Internet connection.
When I personally do three tests mentioned above, I have a bandwidth much different for each test. My ISP account shows that I have a connection speed of 1.5 Mbit / s. When I check my connection speed in Windows Vista that shows the Internet connection speed is 100 Mbps when you run a speed test via a website on the speed of my Internet connection is 0.567mbps.
So why these changes? Well, the first evidence actually shows only the type of regime that are connected to my ISP. This speed is the best, if all other variables operate optimally.
My computer displays a much higher speed of 100 Mbps is a measurement of the speed of my computer to my modem. Since there is only a local network and is not influenced by other variables such as faster speed. It will not be able to achieve this objective, the use of Internet speed, because my plan only offers connection speeds up to 1.5Mbps. So in reality, is a measure of my modem speed abilities.
However, there is still a big difference between what my ISP offers itself (1.5 Mbps) and shows a high-speed Internet connection, shows that I get (0.567mbps). There may be several reasons for this.
The first important variable is the extent to which the connection is the central point of telephone or cable. The more he was at this point, the largest of visitor information and hence the slower the connection.
Secondly, the speed depends on how many users are connected via cable or line. If too many people sharing the line will be used and the speed will be slower. In this case, the speed will probably evolve at different times of the day. Will be faster when the number of people using your connection and slowing down during peak hours. For example, I made the speed test on my connection at another time of the first test and my band at that time was over 0.719mbps.
Finally, the service provider offers Internet services may cause changes in speed. Many ISPs do not pay enough bandwidth. In general, you should expect the bandwidth to about 85% of what your plan provider of Internet services. For example, my plan is 1.5 Mbps in theory should have a broadband connection to the Internet around 1.2Mbps. My band is only about 0567 real-0.719mbps. This means that it is very likely that my ISP is putting too many users on the server, causing a fraction of the bandwidth. Unfortunately is a common phenomenon. It is advisable to look around and discuss the matter with the provider.
