Why is my Internet Speed

Wifi - Yes.

By bandwith in my vicinity, do you mean for the local area?

 

Wtf does that even mean?

Jakey in poor attempt at giving IT help *****fiasco

 

His post made no sense. He's an idiot.

 

Quiet down joby.

By vicinity I mean within signal range. Check what bandwidth your router is transmitting at, and then check this against other WiFi signals in range. There are smartphone apps that can do this for you. If yours is sharing a similar bandwidth or channel to another network in your proximity the conflicting signal can slow the connection.
You can log into your router and change the channel by which your router is transmitting and so have it transmitting on a bandwidth that will not be conflicting with other signals near you.

This is only a solution to one of umpteen possible reasons for your slow connection, but it doesn't hurt to rule it out.

 

That's not what internet bandwidth is you moron

 

Sorry Edge, my post didn't pass the Toby quality control. Wherever I mention "bandwidth" im referring to your routers transmitting frequency. Terminology fail, but I'm sure you were smart enough to understand.

 

I think he probably means the channel that edge's wi-fi router is using. It may be colliding with other local wi-fi devices on the same channel.

 

I think he means the wi-fi channel edge's router is tx/rx on. It may conflict with nearby devices also using the same channel.

 

So good you had to say it twice eh

 

Aye, my own DDOS attack on this site is interfering with me

 

As is everything I say

 

Oh and the word I meant to use has popped back into my head. Wavelength, jacky .... wavelength

 

Twat.

Wavelength is for analogue only.

When you are dealing with digital devices wavelength means **** all.

I gave you the benefit of the doubt by saying you probably meant digital wi-fi channel. I now rescind that.

Ya twat.

 

Emmmm yep, that's the one
