Improve broadband speed

5 tips to improve broadband speed 

1.Maintain your computer:Deleting unused files and programs from you computer can make it run quicker, which can help your browser work more smoothly. A free downloadable utility called CCleaner can perform a clearout in a couple of clicks. 

2.Position your router:Check whether your router is close to any power cables or other electrical equipment, and if it is, try moving it. All such devices emit radio interference which can affect your broadband signal as it travels down the line.

3.Check the socket:You should plug your router into the master socket; the wall socket where your phone line first enters your home. Poor quality extension cables running under carpets and through walls into other rooms can slow your internet connection down.

4.Split the signals:Ensure you have a microfilter installed between the phone socket on the wall and your router. The small, very cheap devices split the telephone signal from the broadband signal, and help you get the best from both.

5.Try ethernet:Wifi is great, but in some homes, particularly soldily built ones, the signal can be weak and make browsing a frustrating experience. Try a using an ethernet cable straight into the router to see if it improves matters.
