Experiencing Sluggish Internet Speeds During Quarantine? You’re Not Alone!

If you’ve noticed your internet performance plummeting since the onset of quarantine, you’re definitely not in this alone. Even though speed tests may indicate that everything is operating normally, many users are feeling the frustration of sluggish connections that impact online gaming and streaming experiences.

Take, for example, the upcoming update for GTA V—it’s set to launch in just an hour, and the anticipation is palpable. Yet, with laggy internet, it can feel like you might miss out on the excitement.

For those curious, I want to clarify that my setup includes a direct Ethernet connection, so the issue isn’t related to WiFi alone. This can be particularly perplexing, as one expects a wired connection to deliver optimal speeds. It’s become increasingly clear that even with the most reliable setups, external factors seem to be affecting our internet experience dramatically.

If you’ve been grappling with similar connectivity issues, rest assured, you’re not navigating this terrain alone. As we adapt to these unprecedented times, perhaps we can share insights on how to improve our networks—or simply vent together about our collective struggles!
