My internet is slow, what to do?

Updated on 08 Nov, 2023

We're sorry your internet is slower than expected.

Have you tested your broadband? Our Broadband Service Test lets you check for broadband speed: https://new.talktalk.co.uk/broadband/speed-test

Furthermore, there are a few things you can try to speed up your internet connection:

  1. Check your setup, if your router’s wires are all connected and if any updating caused such problem
  2. Put it on a top place and make sure it’s not blocked by any furniture
  3. Electrical appliances like microwaves and cordless phones can disrupt Wi-Fi signals, so keep your router away from them
  4. Disconnect devices you aren't using
  5. Update your devices’ software and apps on regular basis
  6. All wireless routers broadcast Wi-Fi signals on a channel. If any of these channels get too busy e.g., neighbor’s router is broadcasting on the same channel as yours, it can slow your internet down. So, change your channel.
