How to troubleshoot Fast0845 broadband performance problems
Before you start troubleshooting the performance of your Fast0845 internet connection, we recommend that you perform a Fast0845 Broadband Speedtest to confirm your current broadband speed.
You may also want to confirm the minimum download speed that you have subscribed to from Fast0845.
You can get this info by checking a Fast0845 broadband bill, your Fast0845 contract or by contacting Fast0845.
Potential causes of Fast0845’s slow broadband performance
Is it the Fast0845 internet connection that is running slow or could it be your device (PC/laptop/phone)?
You may need to consider the number of apps are currently running on your device.
The performance problem may be due to the over-utilization of your system resources i.e RAM/memory/CPU Processor and not an issue with Fast0845’s broadband connection.
If you are on a laptop then you may use the task manager to check your Processor and Memory usage.
On other device, you should try rebooting the device which hopefully should shut down all apps that may have been using up your systems resources.
Re-run the Fast0845 Speedtest on your personal computer and your mobile phone to check how the speed test results differ between the two devices.
Hopefully this should provide you with more info to work with in terms of whether the issue lies with your PC/Smartphone or the Fast0845 broadband connection.

Is the Wifi network the problem?
The root cause of the performance problem may be your wireless network and not the Fast0845 broadband connection.
You could rule out the Wi-Fi network by connecting your PC directly to the Fast0845 broadband router using an ethernet cable and run the Fast0845 Speedtest again.
If the speed improves when you are connected via a network cable, this proves that the issue may be with the wireless network.
A few other things to look further into:
- Are the WiFi channels that you’re using for your Wifi network network (SSID) overlapping with the neighbors?
- Is the Wifi network signal from the internet router obstructed?
- Does your performance get better when your are stood directly in-front of the Fast0845 broadband router?
Who’s connected to my Wifi network?
Have you checked that your wireless network password has not been compromised? Do you have an un-secured wireless network? How secure is your Wifi network password? It could be time to update it.
Neighbours could be on your Wifi network and eating up all your Fast0845 speed by downloading, uploading or even streaming music or video over your Fast0845 internet connection! Worse than that, they could be carrying out illegal activities over your Fast0845 broadband connection.
There are 3 applications to use to analyze your Wifi network to check who’s connected:
- Microsoft Windows users can use Wireless network watcher
- IOS users can use whoFi (who is on my Wifi)
- WiFi scanning tool WiFi Analyzer
The above software analyse your wireless network and produce a list of the everything on your wifi.
Should I get a wireless booster for my Fast0845 broadband?
You may discover that you have wireless black spots at your property, a wireless extender aka a Wi-Fi Booster may be the best solution to strengthen your wireless signal to cover any coverage gaps.
The wireless network extender simply picks up the existing wireless network signal just as it is becoming weaker and re-transmits the Wi-Fi network signal to extend it’s coverage.
Position the wireless network extender where your wireless network signal from your Fast0845 broadband router is starting to become weaker.
Place it approximately where your Wi-Fi network signal drops down to less than 2 signal bars. Walk around your property with a mobile phone to determine where this is.
When was the last time you upgraded the Fast0845 internet router?
The Fast0845 and broadband infrastructure, in general, are constantly upgraded to provide new features and improve performance as technology evolves. Ensure that the Fast0845 broadband router is running on the latest software.
The majority of Fast0845 internet routers allow you to perform the software update by simply logging on the Fast0845 broadband router and simply clicking on a button to start the update.
If you cannot do this, get in touch with Fast0845 and they will perform the upgrade for you or talk you through the process.
As well as updating the software, if you have had router for a long period, it is worth talking to Fast0845 to ask for a router upgrade.
Is the issue outside your property (at the exchange)?
This is probably the most likely cause for Fast0845 broadband performance issues in your area and is more common for broadband connections that are delivered using phone lines.
If you are not sure if this is applicable to you, you should contact Fast0845 who should be able to run the appropriate line tests to check if there is a problem on the Fast0845 internet line.
Is it due to Fast0845 broadband congestion?
If you are finding that the Fast0845 internet connection speed in your area is slow during certain times e.g over weekends and during the evening, then it may be due to congestion during peak hours.
You should speak to Fast0845 to check your guaranteed speed.
