What factors can affect broadband speed?From time to time you may experience slow broadband speeds. This can be caused by a number of internal and external factors: The length of the line from the exchange or from the Primary Connection Point (PCP) can cause some speeds to be slower than others Not being connected directly to the master socket on the premises Correct filters needing to be used on all sockets relating to the broadband line A fault on the broadband line A faulty router is being used Connecting via WiFi rather than Ethernet Number of people sharing the bandwidth internally One-off, high-usage events such as Microsoft/Apple updates – a large number of people connecting at one time Electrical interference from other devices in proximity to the connection Peak time congestion – may experience slower speeds during the evening when more people are connected The processing speed of your device, router or modem The quality of the wiring inside your premises Weather conditions
