“Free Tools to Check Your Internet Speed and Network Problems

Nothing is more annoying than slow or “no browsing” internet — especially when you paid full subscription 😤.
Sometimes the issue isn’t your network provider; it’s your Wi-Fi adapter, network driver, or router acting up.

Before shouting at your ISP, here are 3 FREE tools you can use to check what’s really wrong 👇


---

⚡ 1️⃣ Speedtest.net (by Ookla)

Website: www.speedtest.net

Speedtest.net is the most popular and reliable speed checker in the world.
It tells you your:

Ping (ms): how fast your connection responds.

Download speed (Mbps): how quickly you receive data (important for streaming, browsing).

Upload speed (Mbps): how fast you send data (important for Zoom calls, file uploads).


✅ If your ping is above 150 ms or download speed keeps jumping up and down, something’s wrong.


---

🚀 2️⃣ Fast.com (by Netflix)

Website: www.fast.com

Fast.com is super-simple — just open the site and it starts testing automatically.
No ads, no stress. It’s great for quick checks when your YouTube or Netflix keeps buffering.

✅ If the number you see is way below what you subscribed for, restart your router and test again.


---

🧭 3️⃣ PingPlotter Free

Website: www.pingplotter.com

PingPlotter is a bit more advanced. It shows you where the delay is coming from — your laptop, your Wi-Fi router, or your internet provider’s line.

✅ Why it’s great:

Detects random disconnections

Visual graphs of your ping

Helps trace network problems over time


💡 Perfect for offices, gamers, and anyone whose internet “dies” during meetings.


---

💡 Quick Tip:

If your laptop says “Connected, but no Internet”, or browsers can’t open websites:
1️⃣ Restart router and laptop.
2️⃣ Forget Wi-Fi and reconnect.
3️⃣ Still not working? It’s likely your network driver or adapter needs fixing.

Workplace productivity at home

1. Focus on creating value at work. Can you identify one habit, one action that you do on a daily basis that is detracting from your productivity, and then remove it? When you do that, you're headed in the right direction for increased productivity. And replace it with something that has value -- such as humor. Studies show that humor can actually increase workplace productivity. 2. Beware the afternoon doldrums. You can do this while avoiding chugging so-called energy drinks, which are mostly sugar and caffeine. Try an alternative energy booster, like green tea.  3. Say 'no' to distractions. Mobile apps offer a tempting opportunity to tune out of your mundane work tasks and tune into an exciting game of killing zombies, or an attempt to balance your checking account. Promise yourself a reward of 30 minutes of zombie killing after work, if you get a certain project completed -- and save your online banking duties until you can sit down to a nice meal after on yo...
