Likely causes of Warwickshire Live’s slow broadband performance
Is it the Warwickshire Live broadband that is running slow or could it be your device (PC/laptop/phone)?
You need to consider the number of applications are currently running on your device.
The speed problem may be due to over-utilisation of your device’s resources i.e RAM/memory/CPU and not an issue with Warwickshire Live’s internet connection.
If you’re on a PC then you can use the task manager to check your CPU and Memory utilisation.
On other device, you should try rebooting the device which should hopefully kill all apps that may have been hogging your systems resources.
Re-run the Warwickshire Live Speed test on your PC and your mobile phone to see how the speedtest results compare between the two devices.
This should hopefully give you more info to help determine whether the problem is with your device or the Warwickshire Live broadband connection.

Is your Wifi network the issue?
The root cause of the performance problem could be your Wi-Fi network and not the Warwickshire Live broadband connection.
You can rule out the wireless by simply connecting your computer directly into the Warwickshire Live broadband router using a network cable and then run the Warwickshire Live Speed test again.
If the speed is better when you are connected using a network cable, this shows that the problem could be with your wireless network.
A number of things to check:
- Are the Wireless channels that you’re using for your wireless network (SSID) overlapping with the neighbours?
- Is your Wifi signal from the wireless router obstructed?
- Does your performance get better when your are standing right in-front of the Warwickshire Live wireless router?
Who’s connected to my wireless network?
Have you checked that your Wifi network password has not been hacked? Do you have an un-secured wireless network? How strong is your Wifi network password? It may be time to update it.
Neighbours could be using your wireless network and eating up all the Warwickshire Live speed by downloading, uploading or even streaming music or video over your Warwickshire Live broadband connection! Worse than that, they could be conducting illegal activities using your Warwickshire Live broadband connection.
Here are three applications to utlise to analyse your Wi-Fi network to check who is connected:
- Microsoft Windows users can use Wireless network watcher
- IOS users can use whoFi (who is on my Wifi)
- wireless network scanning application WiFi Analyzer
The above applications analyse your Wifi network and show you a list of the connected devices.
Should I get a wireless network booster for my Warwickshire Live broadband?
You may find that there are Wi-Fi coverage gaps in your house, a Wifi network extender also known as a wireless Booster may be the best solution to strengthen your Wi-Fi signal to cover any coverage gaps.
The wireless network extender simply picks up your existing Wifi signal just as it is becoming weaker and re-transmits the wireless network signal to increase it’s coverage.
Place the Wifi booster near where your wireless network signal from the Warwickshire Live broadband router is becoming weaker.
Place it approximately where your Wifi network signal drops down to less than 2 signal bars. Walk around your home with a tablet to determine where this is.
When was the last time you upgraded the Warwickshire Live broadband router?
The Warwickshire Live and broadband infrastructure, in general, are frequently updated to support new features and improve reliability as technology evolves. Always ensure that your Warwickshire Live broadband router is running on the most up-to-date software.
The majority of Warwickshire Live broadband routers will allow you to perform the software upgrade by logging into the Warwickshire Live broadband router and simply clicking a button to perform the upgrade.
If you cannot do this, contact Warwickshire Live and they will do this for you or alternatively, talk you through the process.
As well as updating the software, if you have had the same hardware for a long period, it’s probably worth talking to Warwickshire Live to ask for a hardware upgrade.
Is the problem external to your home (at the exchange)?
This is probably the most likely cause for Warwickshire Live broadband performance problems in your area and it’s more common for internet broadband connections that are delivered using copper phone lines.
If you are unsure if this is applicable to you, you should contact Warwickshire Live who should be able to carry out the appropriate line tests to check if there is a fault on the Warwickshire Live broadband connection.
Is the performance issue because of Warwickshire Live Internet congestion?
If you’re finding that the Warwickshire Live broadband connection speed in your area is slows down during certain times i.e. weekends and during the evening, then it may be because of congestion during peak hours.
You should speak to Warwickshire Live to check your guaranteed speed.
