<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-2"><strong>What is a good download speed?</strong></h2>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">According to the <a href="https://www.fcc.gov/" rel="Nofollow" target="_blank">FCC</a>, download speeds of at least 25 Mbps are considered good.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">However, in reality, 25 Mbps seems to not be enough.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">A good download speed should be at least 100 Mbps, and an upload speed should be at least 10 Mbps. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">With 100 Mbps, you can simultaneously watch Netflix or YouTube, attend Zoom meetings, and play most online games on multiple devices.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Despite that, some people can get by with fewer Mbps, while others require more.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify"><img alt="You should get at least 100 Mbps download speed" src="http://gospeedcheck.com/filemanager/data-images/imgs/xfinity-slow-download-speed/Xfinity-slow-download-speed_2.jpg" style="display:block; height:360px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:640px"></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>You should get at least 100 Mbps download speed</em></p>

<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-14"><strong>How to determine if your Xfinity download speed is so slow?</strong></h2>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">The first step in determining your slow Xfinity download speed issue is to do a download speed test.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">A speed test provides a reading of the speeds you're receiving through your Internet connection. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Our speed test recommended: speedtest.net, <a href="https://gospeedcheck.com/" target="_blank">MySpeed</a>, Fast.com,...</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify"><img alt="MySpeed at gospeedcheck.com" src="http://gospeedcheck.com/filemanager/data-images/imgs/xfinity-slow-download-speed/Xfinity-slow-download-speed_3.jpg" style="display:block; height:290px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:640px"></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>MySpeed at gospeedcheck.com</em></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Before you start, keep in mind the following points:</p>

<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Close any browser tabs or programs that are not related to the speed test and connect your computer to your network via Ethernet </p>
	</li>
	<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Take a test at various times of the day for a few days and keep note of your results</p>
	</li>
	<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Avoid testing during peak hours</p>
	</li>
	<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Use modern testing equipment because older devices may not be able to accurately gauge your Internet performance due to their hardware.</p>
	</li>
	<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Choose a nearby testing server because the physical distance between your device and the testing server affects the test. </p>
	</li>
	<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Unplug any additional Internet-connected devices from your network while performing the test.</p>
	</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">To be honest, testing your Internet performance on an online testing site is a piece of cake.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">All you have to do is go to a speed test website, click the "GO" or "START" button, and wait a few seconds for the results to appear on the screen.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Consider the following example:</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>Using MySpeed to test the Internet speed</em></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">So, what kind of speeds do you get? </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">If your speed score is high - between 100 and 200 Mbps - it means your poor download speed has nothing to do with the Internet. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">If your speed score is poor - less than 100 Mbps - this might indicate that the Internet is the issue. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Keep in mind that your speeds will vary based on the number of users on your network at any one moment.</p>

<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-86"><strong>Xfinity network issues</strong></h3>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Here are 2 main ways to address network issues with Xfinity, check them out!</p>

<h4 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-89"><strong>Avoid network congestion</strong></h4>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">If too many devices are connected to your home network at the same time, your Xfinity download speed will be poor, causing network congestion.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Sometimes the WiFi simply stops working.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Consequently, your router may be unable to accommodate too many devices at the same time. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">To avoid this problem, limit the number of devices that may join your network at any given moment.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">You can also prevent this congestion by scheduling data-intensive activities and downloads after peak hours. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">As a result, the total network performance will improve.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify"><img alt="The Xfinity network is congested" src="http://gospeedcheck.com/filemanager/data-images/imgs/xfinity-slow-download-speed/Xfinity-slow-download-speed_7.jpg" style="display:block; height:335px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:640px"></p>

	</li>
	<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">You signed up for a high-speed Internet package but aren't obtaining the promised speeds.</p>
	</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Assuming you do an Internet speed test and your result is close to the number of Mbps you're expected to get from Xfinity.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Still, you're experiencing a sluggish Internet.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Then, you may just need to upgrade your plan.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">You may have unnoticed programs running on your computer, or you may have too many browsers open at the same moment. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Simply restart your computer and begin downloading with only one browser window open.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>Restart your PC </em></p>

<h4 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-129"><strong>Download one file at a time</strong></h4>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">It's uncommon for a download to fail when you're downloading many files at once. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">This might be because your gadget is incapable of handling large file downloads.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">To make things easier, try downloading one file at a time. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Though it may look counterintuitive, it may save you a lot of time.</p>
