I tested my bandwidth via speedtest website, which showed me my download speed as 1.06 mbps and ping as 129 ms. Though my bandwidth is high, i was having hard time opening a simple webpage like yahoo or google. This happened last night, is this the problem from my ISP? Or it is usual to receive this kind(slow) of service at night? What should i do if this keep happening often?

Ok thanks for the information.

Your connection can be become slower when a lot of people are using it at the same time (at night or during weekends for example). But you shouldn't feel a HUGE impact.

Is there really a big difference with your day to day use regarding the slow speed you described?
Did it happen often ?

Hi,

Correction, 1 Mbps is not a lot of bandwidth, it is very low actually.. And your ping is not that good.
It is enough to browse but with this I can understand that it take some seconds to open a page.

Try a speedtest at different time of the day to see if it is always like this.

My questions will be :
- What is your connection (subscribed at your ISP) ?
- Are you using wifi or an ethernet cable?
