Everyone wants faster internet, which is why many don’t hesitate to buy 5G handsets or pay extra for high-speed data packages. Yet, many still complain about slow internet speeds.

Slow internet can be frustrating, as it affects work on documents, entertainment, or gaming. However, following a few simple steps can help speed up a sluggish connection.

One common reason for slow internet is selecting the wrong network mode. To get faster speeds, it’s important to choose the correct network setting. On your smartphone, go to the device’s network options and select the appropriate SIM card.

Even when using a 5G network, if the internet is slow, try switching between LTE, 5G, or 4G modes.

Another key factor is background apps. Apps running in the background can significantly slow down your internet because they use a lot of data. To improve speed, close unnecessary apps from the recent apps menu and delete apps that are not in use.

Turning off your phone’s location services can also help. Location-based apps consume extra data and RAM, even if you’re not actively using them. Apart from Google Maps, many apps continue to collect data if location services are on. It’s recommended to disable location services through your device’s settings or control panel to ensure faster internet performance.
