Slow Internet

Update Your Devices

Make sure all your devices are kept up to date and know that some devices are simply faster than others. If you notice issues on one particular device, it could be that your device needs to be upgraded. 

Use Ethernet for Certain Activities

While Wi-Fi works well in most cases, some bandwidth-heavy activities, such as watching Ultra HD video on a TV, work more consistently when you connect via an Ethernet cable. Please note: no Wi-Fi—from any provider—can effectively deliver 1000 Mbps (our Gig package speed) due to the natural degradation that occurs when it travels.
