Optimize DSL speed - with these tips it is possible

Normally it is not so easy to change your DSL speed at will. However, if your Internet is too slow and this causes your stream to jerk, for example, then you still have various measures to choose from.

How to optimize your DSL speed

If your DSL is too slow for you, then you cannot speed it up in a few steps. Nevertheless, there are ways to optimize the connection so that, for example, certain websites load a little faster or the stream no longer jerks. If you have recurring problems with your DSL, it is also necessary to contact your Internet provider.

1. First perform a speed test via a website of your choice. This way you will find out your download and upload rate, but also the ping time. This can help to better compare later whether you have improved the speed.
2. To optimize the speed, you can make settings directly in Windows, for example. This includes adjusting the MTU parameters. You can also use a suitable third-party software for this.
3. Your firewall or virus scanner can also affect the speed. Überprüfen Sie daher auch hier die gewählten Einstellungen.
4. Zudem können auch Router, WLAN-Geräte, die Netzwerkkarte oder Ihr LAN-Kabel die Datenübertragung verlangsamen. Deshalb bietet es sich an, auch hier nachzurüsten, falls möglich. Achten Sie dabei auch auf die Position der Geräte innerhalb Ihrer Wohnung.
