Probable causes of Total Web Solutions’s slow internet performance

Is it your Total Web Solutions broadband that is slow or could it be your device (laptop/smartphone/PC)?

You may need to check the number of applications are running on your device.

The performance problem could be due to the over-utilisation of your device’s resources i.e Memory/CPU and not an issue with Total Web Solutions’s internet connection.

If you are on a laptop then you may use the task manager to see your CPU and RAM usage.

On other device, you could try restarting the device which should hopefully terminate all programs that may be using up system resources.

Run the Total Web Solutions Speedtest on your personal computer and your phone to check how the results differ between the 2 devices.

Hopefully this should provide you with more information to work with in terms of whether the problem lies with your device or the Total Web Solutions broadband connection.

Is the Wifi network the cause of the slowness?

The cause of the performance issue may be your Wi-Fi network and not the Total Web Solutions broadband internet connection.

You could rule out the wireless network by connecting your PC directly to the Total Web Solutions broadband router using an ethernet cable and run the Total Web Solutions Speedtest again.

If the speed test result improves when you’re connected via a network cable, this suggests that the issue may be with your internal wireless network.

A number of things to look further into:

Are the Wireless channels that you are using for your Wi-Fi network network (SSID) overlapping with the neighbors?
Is your wireless network signal from the wireless router obstructed?
Does the speed get better when your are standing right infront of the Total Web Solutions internet router?

Exactly who’s connected to my wireless network?

Have you checked that your wireless network password has not been hacked? Do you have an un-secured Wi-Fi network? How complex is your Wi-Fi network password? It may be time to update it.

Others could be using your wireless network and eating up all the Total Web Solutions speed by downloading, uploading or even streaming music or videos over your Total Web Solutions broadband connection! Worse than that, they could be conducting illegal activities over your Total Web Solutions internet connection.

Here are 3 applications to utlise to analyse your Wifi network to see who is connected:

Windows users can use Wireless network watcher
Apple users can use whoFi (who is on my Wifi)
wifi network scanning tool WiFi Analyzer

The above applications scan your Wi-Fi network and show you a list of the everything on your wifi.

How to see who is on your Total Web Solutions wireless network

Should I get a wireless network booster for my Total Web Solutions broadband?

If you discover that there are Wi-Fi black spots at your home, a wireless network extender also known as a wireless Booster may be the best solution to strengthen your wireless signal to cover any black spots.

Cheapest Wifi Signal Boosters

The Wifi network extender picks up the existing Wifi signal as it is becoming weaker and re-transmits the Wifi signal to increase it’s coverage.

Place the wireless network booster where your Wi-Fi network signal from your Total Web Solutions broadband router is becoming weaker.

Position it approximately where your Wifi network signal is dropping down to 2 bars. Walk around your home with a tablet to determine where this location is.

When was the last time you upgraded the Total Web Solutions broadband router?

Is the cause of the problem external to your home (at the exchange)?

This is probably the most likely reason for Total Web Solutions broadband performance problems in your area and it’s more common for internet broadband connections that are delivered via phone lines.

If you are unsure if this is applicable to you, you should contact Total Web Solutions who will be able to run the appropriate connection tests to see if there is a problem on the Total Web Solutions broadband line.
