Possible causes of Quickline Communications’s slow internet performance

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

The performance issue could be due to over-utilization of your system resources e.g Memory/CPU Processor and not an issue with Quickline Communications’s internet connection.

If you’re on a laptop then you may use the task manager to check your CPU and RAM utilisation.

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

Hopefully this should give you more information to help determine if the problem lies with your device or the Quickline Communications internet connection.

Is your Wifi network the cause of the slowness?

The root cause of the performance problem may be your internal Wifi network as opposed to the Quickline Communications broadband internet connection.

You could rule out the Wi-Fi network by connecting your PC directly to the Quickline Communications broadband router with a network cable and run the Quickline Communications Speed test again.

If the performance improves when you’re connected via a network cable, this suggests that the problem may be with the internal wireless network.

A number of things to look further into:

Are the Wireless channels that you’re using for your Wifi network (SSID) overlapping with your neighbours?
Is the Wifi signal from the broadband router obstructed?
Does the speed get better when your are standing directly in-front of the Quickline Communications wireless router?

Exactly who’s connected to my Wi-Fi network?

Have you checked that your Wifi network password has not been compromised? Do you have an open wireless network? How complex is your Wifi network password? It may be time to change it.

Others could be using your Wifi network and eating up all your Quickline Communications speed by downloading, uploading or even streaming music or video over your Quickline Communications broadband connection! Worse than that, they may be carrying out illegal activities on your Quickline Communications broadband connection.

There are three apps that you can utlise to analyze your Wifi network to check who is connected:

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

The above software will scan your wireless network and display a list of the everything on your wifi.
