Internet Connectivity - Is It Possible To Speed It Up?

One of the oft heard complaints about Internet connectivity has to do with its speed being too slow. Quite a few leading service providers of Internet access solutions do have some fabulous choices when it comes to products and services.

There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that today a customer is indeed spoiled for choice when it comes to Internet connectivity. Service providers are ready to:

• Offer bundled services in order to bring the costs of Internet connectivity down for the customer,
• Give 24 x 7 technical and customer support services,
• Offer many freebies in order to get the customer interested in their products and services and
• Constantly upgrade their technology and product portfolio in order to keep pace with a customer’s growing demands.

While there are not too many complaints as far as the products of leading service providers go, a customer will constantly look for making Internet connectivity even faster. Now is this really possible? According to telecom service providers, it is possible to speed up Internet connectivity. There are a lot of simple things that you can look into to make Internet connectivity faster and more streamlined.

The physical stuff

The placement of your wireless modem or router is extremely important. If you intend to access the Internet from various locations in your home, then you should be able to situate the modem or router in a central place.

This will allow users from different portions of the house to enjoy uniform Internet connectivity. You should also check the number of devices that are connected to the Internet at a single time. Most telecom service providers will recommend a maximum or minimum number of devices and it is definitely advisable to stick to these numbers.

Configuration according to the service provider

Your router also has to be configured according to the recommendations or settings given to you by the service provider. And a change in these settings is likely to bring down your Internet connectivity. So it is definitely worthwhile to stick to the specifications given to you by the Internet service provider.

Security of the connection

Even as it is important for you to keep a check on the number of devices that are accessing your Internet connection from within your house, you also need to see if your Internet connectivity can be accessed by an unauthorized person.

And you can minimize the occurrence of such unauthorized access by securing your wireless Internet connectivity options. Make it possible to connect to your Internet service only with the help of a password.

Type of connection

The type of Internet connectivity option that you have gone in for also will have a bearing on the speed. For instance, if you are still relying on a dial-up connection, then the speed is going to be slow.

But if you want higher speeds then you may have to migrate to fiber optic connection or even a DSL connection. You can always check for the availability of service providers in your locality who are in a position to offer such higher speed Internet connectivity options.
