The internet has not functioned properly starting from last day.
Hello, the situation is that I have been using a certain ISP for quite a while, but their service is slow, I usually get around 15-20mbps with them, but it often can go lower and I am unable to even watch youtube videos on 1080p or even 720p. Also that ISP sometimes had really bad ping spikes. So we recently got a call from another ISP and decided to give it a try (It's a trial for 14 days). The internet was working beautifully on the first day, I got on average around 36mbps and it even spiked to 60mbps at one point, which I have never experienced with the old internet. So the internet continued to work well on the second-day staying around 30-40mbps, and I didn't experience a lot of issues until 9pm my time when the internet almost suddenly cut out. I did a troubleshoot and it said that "DNS server isn't working" or something along the lines. And this has been going on for quite a while even this morning. The internet from time to time just goes from 30-40mbps speed to just around a few (around under 0 to 30kbps) and I can't open a single website. The only way I can fix it is to wait until the internet is back up or restart the router, and even that only helps for like 5-10 minutes. I have already contacted my ISP and all that he could say is that maybe I don't have good enough reception and that I need to place it closer or higher near the window. The problem is that I have already done all of those things and they really don't affect me much. But could this actually be a bad reception issue? Could I even get 30+ Mbps if I have bad reception? The current internet is 4G, it is and Huawei router, and it is connected to pc by an ethernet cable. Also most of the speed test I did on the OOKLA speed test website (When I can open it), but when I cant it also shows me current internet usage in the router website (that's where I got speed reading when the internet isn't working, it also sometimes goes even in just bits per second).
Yes that is possible with 4g. I would try to get a bigger antenna or outdoor antenna for the router. Or try moving the router again. Should be a indicator for signal strenght
Connecting via cellular networks will likely face these challenges. Multiple devices sharing the same tower can cause delays and lag for users. Smartphone experiences won’t be severely affected, but overall performance suffers. Options for improvement are limited. Consider moving your antenna to a spot with stronger 4G signal. Still, bandwidth issues will persist during peak usage times like evenings after work. A fixed connection offers more reliable speeds compared to cellular options.
