  • Download an app called speedtest by ookla and see what your connectivity is and then if its low contact your internet provider and see if there is a outage in your area

    is it maybe possible also that the ammount of people using your internet has been increased? or maybe one of the people in the house has a higher internet use like a gaming pc or so?

    Your device probably just got old so it’s slower.

    Hmmm thats weird then... maybe look if you can in the subscription that you have as speed and ammount internet?

    Or maybe what the first comment said
  • It's also possible you went over the monthly gb amount, did you get message from your provider?

    Probably best to contact your service provider. They may be able to shed some light on the issue.

    Very plausible.
    Even "unlimited data" connections have a limit. Reach X amount of uploads/downloads, and they slow the connection down.
  • i was just trying to download a thing and it was downloading at 4kb per second... and i tried to upload a 720p picture on 1 forum and its been 10 minutes and it still hasnt uploaded. im in pain
