Internet & coronavirus: Can I do something with my login?

Our indoor closure due to the coronavirus pandemic has had a direct effect on the abuse of the Internet, as everyone tries to communicate and work online. That almost all of us now rely on the, puts undue pressure on service providers resulting in reduced performance.

According to Recode's Adam Clark Estes, the global internet infrastructure is meeting demand quite well today, and speed performance is more likely to decline on the consumer side than on large internet companies.
So while the Internet seems to be working quite well in general, you may notice a slowdown depending on how much you use it, if you work from home for example.

Internet

Before we move on we should mention that there is not much you can do to have faster internet. For the most part, you are at the mercy of your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

If your ISP has, for example, download speeds of 50 mbps, try it to see how fast your Internet is, at by Ookla. Go ahead and test your speed on different sites ή platforms. (Don't be optimistic, because there was a problem with the speed we pay for and the one we have even before today's ).

Many of the online platforms streaming decided to reduce the quality of the videos to help maintain a good internet speed, but streaming however we do it requires a lot of bandwidth. If you notice slowdowns in your home, try to use only one device for video streaming, and not several different devices connected at the same time.

How To Increase Speed ​​On A Slow WiFi

Try connecting some devices with an ethernet cable, if possible. A wired connection means that there is one less wireless device on your network. So you may notice a slight increase in speed. A good location on the router may improve wireless connections, but it will not help if your ISP is already burdened by the larger and more universal daily use of the Internet.

Good luck, and hope the internet can stay strong until this crisis is over.
