Probable causes of Rutland Telecom’s slow broadband speed
Is it the Rutland Telecom broadband that is running slow or could it be your device (PC/laptop/phone)?
You may need to consider the number of apps are running on your device.
The speed problem may be due to the over-utilisation of your system resources e.g RAM/memory/CPU and as opposed to an issue with Rutland Telecom’s broadband connection.
If you’re on a PC then you can use the task manager to see your Processor and RAM utilisation.
On other device, you should try restarting the device which should hopefully kill all programs that may have been using up your device resources.
Re-run the Rutland Telecom Speed test on your PC and your mobile to see how the results compare between the two devices.
Hopefully this should give you some info to help determine whether the problem lies with your device or the Rutland Telecom broadband connection.

Is your wireless the cause of the performance issue?
The root cause of the performance problem could be your Wi-Fi network and not the Rutland Telecom broadband connection.
You could rule out the wireless by connecting your computer directly into the Rutland Telecom broadband router using a network cable and run the Rutland Telecom Speed test again.
If the speed is better when you are connected via an ethernet cable, this indicates that the issue could be with the Wifi network.
A few other things to look further into:
- Are the Wireless channels that you’re using for your Wi-Fi network network (SSID) overlapping with your neighbours?
- Is your Wifi network signal from the wireless router obstructed?
- Does your speed get better when your are stood right in-front of the Rutland Telecom wireless router?
Who is connected to my Wi-Fi network?
Have you checked that your Wi-Fi network password has not been hacked? Do you have an un-secured Wifi network? How strong is your Wifi network password? It may be time to update it.
Neighbours could be using your Wi-Fi network and eating up all your Rutland Telecom bandwidth by downloading, uploading or even streaming music or video over your Rutland Telecom internet connection! Worse than that, they could be conducting illegal activities on your Rutland Telecom internet connection.
Here are three applications that you can potentially utlise to analyse your Wi-Fi network to see who is connected:
- Microsoft users can use Wireless network watcher
- IOS users can use whoFi (who is on my Wifi)
- WiFi scanning tool WiFi Analyzer
The above applications will scan your wireless network and display a list of the everything on your wifi.
Should I get a wireless network booster for my Rutland Telecom broadband?
If you find that you have Wifi black holes at your house, a Wifi network extender also known as a Wifi Booster may be the best solution to increase your Wi-Fi signal to cover any coverage holes.
The wireless network extender simply picks up your existing Wifi network signal just as it is starting to become weaker and re-transmits the wireless signal to increase it’s reach.
Place the wireless booster near where your wireless network signal from the Rutland Telecom internet router is becoming weaker.
Position it approximately where your Wi-Fi network signal drops down to 2 signal bars. Walk around your house with a mobile phone to determine where this is.
When did you last upgrade the Rutland Telecom internet router?
The Rutland Telecom and broadband infrastructure, in general, are frequently updated to provide new features and improve reliability as technology evolves. Always ensure that the Rutland Telecom broadband internet router is running the most up to date software.
The majority of Rutland Telecom internet routers allow you to carry out the software update by logging on the Rutland Telecom broadband router and simply clicking a button to perform the update.
If you cannot do this, get in touch with Rutland Telecom and they will be able to do this for you or guide you through the process.
As well as upgrading the software, if you have had hardware for a long period, it’s probably worth talking to Rutland Telecom to ask for a hardware upgrade.
Is the issue outside your property (at the exchange)?
This is probably the most common reason for Rutland Telecom broadband performance problems in your area and it’s more common for broadband connections that are delivered using phone lines.
If you’re unsure if this is relevant in your case, contact Rutland Telecom who will be able to run the appropriate connection tests to check if there is a fault on the Rutland Telecom broadband line.
Is the performance issue due to Rutland Telecom Internet congestion?
If you’re finding that the Rutland Telecom internet connection speed in your area is slow during certain periods e.g over weekends and evenings, then it may be because of congestion during peak hours.
You should contact Rutland Telecom to find out your minimum speed.
