Is your internet connection acting sluggish? No worries! Follow these simple steps to troubleshoot and potentially improve your internet speed.
Step 1 - Check Your Devices
Make sure the issue isn't isolated to a single device. Test your internet speed on multiple devices such as your laptop, smartphone, and tablet. This will help you determine whether the problem is with your internet connection or a specific device.
Step 2 - Restart Your Router/Modem + Internet Termination Device (if applicable)
Sometimes, a simple restart can work wonders. Unplug your router/modem as well as your internet termination device (if applicable) from the power source, wait about 30 seconds, and then plug them back in. Allow a few minutes for them to fully reboot and reconnect.
Note: Please do not reset your router/modem unless instructed by MyOwn Tel Tech Support.
Step 3 - Switch to a Wired Connection
If possible, connect your device directly to the router using an Ethernet cable. Wired connections tend to be faster and more stable than Wi-Fi.
Step 4 - Run a Speed Test
If you need assistance with this please refer to our Performing A Speed Test guide we have available.
Step 5 - Check for Background Activities
Streaming, downloads, and updates happening in the background can slow down your internet. Pause or cancel any ongoing downloads, streaming, or updates on your devices, and close unnecessary tabs or applications.
Step 6 - Contact Your MyOwn Tel Support
If you've tried all the steps above and your internet is still slow, it might be time to contact MyOwn Tel Tech Support. We can run diagnostics on our end and help you identify and resolve any issues with your connection.
