Slow internet: computer, mobile device (troubleshooting, causes, fixes) (Temporarily slow)

If your Internet connection is slow temporarily (especially when more users are browsing the internet at the same time), a temporary solution for slow internet connection would be to categorize and prioritize your tasks into bandwith-heavy and bandwidth-light ones.

Get the light ones done when you're on your slow connection, and group all the bandwidth-heavy tasks together so you can do them if and when you get faster access.

Similarly, work outside your browser whenever possible (if you're doing basic writing, do it in your favorite text editor instead of using your browser). If you plan your work ahead of time, you can at least make the best of a bad situation.

Maybe the reason why your Internet connection is slow is the ISP/Operator itself, due to technical difficulties they are not aware of. Contact them and let them know about this issue and they will instruct you on how to troubleshoot slow internet connection, and resolve the issue by yourself, if possible.

If you only have a limited bandwith (= internet speed), optimize the browser to get the most out of it. 

Opera is a web-browser which offers a solution called Opera turbo, which boosts the Internet speed.

Install it and before you start browsing, check if the option Opera turbo is activated (It usually activates itself automatically, when it detects slow internet connection). Find the Opera Turbo icon, on the lower left side of the status bar and click on it.
