Having the best possible high-speed Internet performance is important in daily life.
Between attending virtual meetings, keeping your smart home devices running, and streaming games and movies, you’re likely asking a lot from your Internet.
Let’s take a look at how you can make sure your home’s Internet is in tip-top shape!
8 Ways to Check & Improve High-Speed Internet Performance
HTC provides several ways you can not only check your Internet performance, but also help manage your home’s digital and smart devices to keep everything running smoothly.
Here are eight tips to ensure your high-speed Internet performance is at its best!
1. Conduct a Speed Test – A speed test lets you double-check your Internet speed. Click here for HTC’s Speed Test, along with tips on how to take the most accurate test possible.
2. Check Your Device – Make sure to check your Internet speeds on multiple devices. If other devices seem to be functioning better or faster, it could indicate an issue with one device rather than your connection.
3. Clear Your Cache – If you determine that only one device is experiencing slower Internet, try clearing your web browser’s cache. Your device temporarily stores data from webpages you’ve recently visited to make it faster to view the page when you go back. Having a lot of data stored in your cache can keep you from getting the most out of your Internet connection!
The process of clearing your cache varies slightly depending on which Internet browser and device you are using. In general, you’ll head to your browser’s settings menu, navigate to either privacy or browsing data, then select and delete cached data and files.
To achieve the best results, make sure to clear all of your history, cookies, and data. Then, close and restart your web browser.
4. Reboot Your Modem & Router – In the event of a service interruption, rebooting your modem and router is sometimes all it takes to get your Internet performance back up to speed.
5. Call Your Local Internet Provider – When in doubt, give HTC’s customer support line a call! Our local customer service team is ready to answer any questions you may have and respond quickly to any issues.
6. Upgrade Your Internet– It’s possible that you’ve added devices since you last purchased Internet for your home. If more people or devices are using your Internet at the same time, you may need to upgrade your Internet package with HTC!
7. Let Us Improve Your Technology – If your Internet connection slows down in certain areas of your home, your tech may be to blame. HTC’s Advanced WiFi program includes professional installation and maintenance of the latest WiFi technology available – the GigaSpire BLAST – providing a strong connection to every corner of your home.
8. Consider Fiber-to-the-Home Internet – For the fastest available Internet performance, choose a true Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) connection, like HTC Fiber. FTTH networks bring fiber cables directly from the provider to your home, delivering extremely fast data transmission for a connection you can count on.
