  • Based on location, devices rely on coverage provided by other carriers. In these areas data speeds may be limited.
  • Ensure there are no apps running in the background that may be utilizing the connection.
    Some apps (e.g., Windows and Anti-virus Updates, File Sharing apps, etc.) can consume a significant amount of bandwidth and decrease the connection throughput.
While we can't recommend a specific site, there are many online resources that can determine the current speed of the connection. Some examples of desktop tests are:
