Slow Internet Connection fix is on the way
Are you having a slow internet connection lately and for this few days or weeks? At my place now which is in Malaysia, are experiencing the slow and sometimes even can’t even access any of the website or even fully receive my emails. How to fix the slow internet connection? Well, currently the situation is what claimed and announced from TheStar via TMNET, the undersea cable was disrupted and are currently under fixing progress. And for what the announcement mentioned, it is expected to be fixed before 31st December 2008 or will be notify for further notice. Yesterday, before the New Year 2009 arrive, I was heard from the radio that the fixing or the connection will be restore by 4th January 2009.
Guess that I have to wait for another few days and be patient about the connection. Not just surfer in Malaysia are facing the same issue but also other countries which is also at the moment struggling on the internet connection. For me, I am having some trouble posting a post here and to others website of mine. I have to get the post done offline, and then try paste it on my WordPress, and trying saving it. It took me nearly about 15 minutes to 30 minutes to get this post successfully published or saved.
For other reason rather than the undersea cable problem, if you are facing a slow internet connection just make sure you have done the advice stated below : (Before you attempt to use the method stated below, please sure you have backup your important data and files.)
1. Make sure your Anti-Virus Software are up to date. Try run a full scan to check any virus infected.
2. Is your XP/Vista security updates are up to date? Try update or let it update more often.
3. Disable any unnecessary files running background which you can look at the list on the Task Manager. Or use a software which is free to download called “HijackThis” via the Trend Micro website.
4. Check whether your torrent software or any P2P software are still running at the back which taken most of the internet bandwidth. If using network, check your other pc for any running P2P or even Flashget software that downloading certain files.
5. Try clear or delete all temp files of your browser software, if can, try clearing the cookies.
6. Off your modem router for 1~3 minutes and try ON it back again, see if you will get a better internet connection.
7. Very rare case, changing your network card. If your network card is onboard, try plugin a PCI type slot. If you are using a USB Modem, try plug the USB modem to another PC see if its still the same slow connection.
8. Give your ISP a call, ask if there is any issue about your or the internet connection problem.
9. Try using the command prompt to ping any website, see if there’s any loss via the ping statistic and diagnose how fast is the response when you try to ping. Press the Start button, select Run and type in “cmd” or “command” to access the command prompt to use this test.
10. Some of us might do it this way, go to the nearest WiFi Free area to access internet or any cybercafe to access internet.
