Possible causes of xln telecom’s slow broadband performance
Is it the xln telecom internet connection that is running slow or could it be your device (laptop/smartphone/PC)?
You may need to consider how many applications are currently running on your device.
The speed issue could be due to the over-utilization of your device’s resources e.g RAM/memory/CPU Processor and as opposed to an issue with xln telecom’s broadband connection.
If you’re on a laptop then you can use the task manager to check your CPU and Memory utilisation.
On other device, you should try rebooting the device which hopefully should shutdown all apps that may have been using up your device resources.
Run the xln telecom Speed test on your personal computer and your mobile to check how the results differ between the two devices.
This should hopefully give you some information to help determine whether the problem is with your PC/Smartphone or the xln telecom broadband connection.

Is your Wifi the problem?
The root cause of the performance issue may be your internal Wifi network and not the xln telecom broadband connection.
You could rule out the Wi-Fi network by connecting your PC directly to the xln telecom broadband router with a network cable and run the xln telecom Speed checker again.
If the speed is better when you are connected by a network cable, this suggests that the problem may be with your Wifi.
A few other things to investigate:
- Are the WiFi channels that you are using for your wireless network network (SSID) overlapping with your neighbours?
- Is the wireless signal from the broadband router obstructed?
- Does the performance improve when you’re standing directly in-front of the xln telecom internet router?
Who is connected to my Wifi network?
Have you checked that your Wi-Fi network password has not been shared? Do you have an open Wi-Fi network? How complex is your wireless network password? It may be time to update it.
Neighbors could be using your Wifi network and eating up all the xln telecom speed by downloading, uploading or even streaming music or video over your xln telecom broadband connection! Worse than that, they may be carrying out illegal activities on your xln telecom internet connection.
There are three apps that you can utlise to analyze your wireless network to check who’s connected:
- Microsoft Windows users can use Wireless network watcher
- MAC users can use whoFi (who is on my Wifi)
- wireless network scanning application WiFi Analyzer
The above software scan your Wifi network and show you a list of the everything on your wifi.
Should I get a wireless booster for my xln telecom broadband?
You may discover that you have Wi-Fi black spots at your house, a wireless extender aka a Wifi Booster is the best solution to boost your Wifi signal to cover any coverage holes.
The Wi-Fi network booster simply picks up the existing Wifi signal as it is starting to become weaker and re-transmits the Wifi network signal to extend it’s coverage.
Position the Wifi booster/extender near where your Wi-Fi network signal from the xln telecom broadband router is becoming weaker.
Place it approximately where your wireless signal drops down to 2 bars. Walk around your house with a tablet to find where this is.
When was the last time you upgraded the xln telecom internet router?
The xln telecom and broadband infrastructure, in general, are constantly updated to provide new features and improve reliability as technology evolves. Ensure that the xln telecom broadband internet router is running the latest software.
The majority of xln telecom broadband routers allow you to perform the software update by simply logging on the xln telecom broadband router and simply clicking a button to perform the upgrade.
If you cannot do this, get in touch with xln telecom and they will do this for you or alternatively, guide you through performing the upgrade yourself.
In addition to updating the software, if you have had the same router for a long period, it is worth talking to xln telecom to ask for a hardware upgrade.
Is the issue outside your property (at the exchange)?
This is probably the most common cause for xln telecom broadband performance issues in your home and is more common with internet broadband connections that are delivered through phone lines.
If you’re unsure if this is applicable to you, you should contact xln telecom who should be able to conduct the relevant line tests to see if there is a problem on the xln telecom internet connection.
Is the issue because of xln telecom Internet congestion?
If you are finding that the xln telecom broadband connection speed in your area is slows down during certain times e.g weekends and during the evening, then it may be due to congestion during peak times.
You should contact xln telecom to find out your guaranteed speed.
