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

As many of us adapt to the new normal of remote work and online gatherings during quarantine, it’s become increasingly evident that our internet connections may not be keeping up with the heightened demands. Have you noticed your internet speed slowing down significantly, despite what speed tests might indicate? If so, you’re certainly not by yourself.

While speed tests might show satisfactory results, our overall online experience often tells a different story. Whether you’re trying to join a video call, watch your favorite series, or engage in online gaming, a sluggish connection can turn your plans into frustration. For example, I’ve found it particularly challenging as I look forward to the upcoming GTA V tuners update—scheduled for release in less than an hour. Missing out on such exciting content is not something I want to endure!

It’s worth noting that, even with a direct Ethernet connection, these issues can persist. I’ve had my fair share of these struggles, and it seems like many others are experiencing similar difficulties with their internet service.
