How to troubleshoot Goscomb Technologies internet performance problems

Before you start troubleshooting the speed of your Goscomb Technologies broadband connection, we suggest that you perform a Goscomb Technologies Internet Speed Test to measure your current internet speed.

It is a good idea to also find out the guaranteed minimum download speed that you are paying for from Goscomb Technologies.

You can get this info by checking a Goscomb Technologies broadband bill, your Goscomb Technologies contract or by contacting Goscomb Technologies.

Potential causes of Goscomb Technologies’s slow broadband speed

Is it the Goscomb Technologies broadband that is slow or is it your device (PC/laptop/phone)?

You may need to check how many apps are currently running on your device.

The speed problem may be due to the over-utilization of your system resources e.g RAM/memory/CPU and not an issue with Goscomb Technologies’s internet connection.

If you’re on a PC then you may use the task manager to check your Processor and Memory usage.

On any other device, you could try rebooting the device which hopefully should kill all applications that may be hogging your systems resources.

Re-run the Goscomb Technologies Speed checker on your PC and your phone to check how the speed test results differ between the 2 devices.

Hopefully this should give you more information to help determine if the issue lies with your device or the Goscomb Technologies broadband connection.

Is your wireless network the cause of the issue?

The root cause of the performance problem could be your Wifi as opposed to the Goscomb Technologies broadband connection.

You can rule out the wireless by simply connecting your PC directly to the Goscomb Technologies broadband router using an ethernet cable and run the Goscomb Technologies Speedtest again.

If the speed checker result is better when you are connected by a network cable, this indicates that the issue may be with your internal wireless network.

A few other things to check:

Are the WiFi channels that you are using for your Wifi network (SSID) overlapping with your neighbors?
Is your Wi-Fi network signal from the internet router obstructed?
Does your speed get better when your are stood directly infront of the Goscomb Technologies internet router?

Who is connected to my Wi-Fi network?

Have you checked that your Wi-Fi network password has not been compromised? Do you have an open Wifi network? How secure is your Wi-Fi network password? It may be time to update it.

Neighbours could be on your Wifi network and using up all the Goscomb Technologies bandwidth by downloading, uploading or even streaming music or videos over your Goscomb Technologies broadband connection! Worse than that, they could be carrying out illegal activities using your Goscomb Technologies internet connection.

Here are 3 apps that you can potentially utlise to analyze your Wi-Fi network to see who’s connected:

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

The above applications scan your wireless network and produce a list of the connected devices.

How to see who is on your Goscomb Technologies Wi-Fi network

Should I get a wireless network booster for my Goscomb Technologies broadband?

If you find that you have Wifi black holes at your home, a wireless extender also known as a Wi-Fi Booster is the best fix to strengthen your Wi-Fi signal to cover any coverage gaps.

Best Wifi Signal Boosters

The Wi-Fi network booster simply picks up the existing Wifi network signal just as it is becoming weaker and re-transmits the wireless signal to extend it’s coverage.

Place the wireless network booster/extender where your wireless network signal from the Goscomb Technologies internet router is becoming weaker.

Position it near where your wireless network signal drops down to less than 2 bars. Walk around your house with a mobile phone to try and establish where this location is.

When was the last time you upgraded the Goscomb Technologies broadband router?

The Goscomb Technologies and broadband infrastructure, in general, are frequently upgraded to support new features and improve performance as technology evolves. Always ensure that your Goscomb Technologies internet router is running on the most up-to-date software.

Most Goscomb Technologies internet routers will allow you to carry out the software upgrade by logging on the Goscomb Technologies broadband router and simply clicking a button to start the update.

If you cannot do this, get in touch with Goscomb Technologies and they will perform the upgrade for you or guide you through performing the upgrade yourself.

In addition to upgrading the software, if you have had router for a long time, it’s probably worth speaking to Goscomb Technologies to ask for a hardware upgrade.

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

This is probably the most likely reason for Goscomb Technologies broadband performance problems in your property and it’s more common for internet broadband connections that are delivered via copper phone lines.

If you are not sure if this is relevant in your case, contact Goscomb Technologies who should be able to run the relevant connection tests to check if there is a fault on the Goscomb Technologies internet connection.

Is the performance issue because of Goscomb Technologies Internet congestion?

If you are finding that the Goscomb Technologies internet connection speed in your area is slows down during certain times i.e. over weekends and evenings, then it may be due to congestion during peak hours.

What is Broadband Contention Ratio and does Goscomb Technologies have contention?
