Canada\u2019s broadband speeds <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.itworldcanada.com\/article\/canadas-broadband-internet-speed-increased-by-27-in-2021-finds-ookla-report\/470954\" class=\"broken_link\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">increased by 27%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in 2021 alone, with the median download speed approaching 100 Mbps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But not all Canadians are benefitting from these fast speeds. One reason is internet speed myths. Many Canadians don\u2019t know why their internet is so slow, and they take action based on myths that make their internet even slower.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get the facts, and you can have high-speed internet in Canada for years. Here are some common internet speed myths in Canada and strategies for fast speed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Related: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vmedia.ca\/blog\/en\/what-is-a-good-download-upload-speed\/\"><b>What Is a Good Download and Upload Speed?<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_People_Online_Causes_Congestion\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More People Online Causes Congestion<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This myth can be true under certain circumstances. During the days of dial-up internet, many people online simultaneously could cause slower internet speeds for everyone. Even today, you may encounter slower speeds if you use a router many people use or a low-end internet provider.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, you should avoid encountering congestion if you are using modern technology. Routers can handle numerous devices at once without creating congestion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your internet speed may slow down if you have a data cap and you exceed that cap. You should limit the data you use by switching to standard-definition videos and refraining from downloading many images simultaneously.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Are you experiencing slow internet speeds? <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vmedia.ca\/en\/internet\/ontario\"><b><i>Update your internet with VMedia<\/i><\/b><\/a><b><i>, Canada\u2019s leading high-speed and affordable internet provider, now!<\/i><\/b>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5519&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Weather_Affects_Internet_Speeds\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weather Affects Internet Speeds<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is another myth that is somewhat true but misleading. <\/span><b>The weather can affect your speed if you use a 4G or 5G connection because 4G and 5G connections do not penetrate through atmospheric moisture.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> During a rainy or snowy day, your internet speed may slow down.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also lose a signal if it is incredibly humid or foggy. You may lose internet entirely if lightning strikes the transmitter or cellular tower. However, cellular towers are rarely struck by lightning, and you may not notice any problems on rainy, snowy, or foggy days if you live close enough to the transmitter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Broadband and landline connections do not experience problems during bad weather. Precipitation or moisture in the air will not affect your internet. A strong wind can damage your cables or poles, but you can fix your cables even during a storm. fibre optic cables are more resistant to weather conditions than other cables, so you should install those if you live in an area with severe weather.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Closer_You_Are_to_the_Server_the_Faster_Your_Speeds_Are\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Closer You Are to the Server, the Faster Your Speeds Are<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several factors impact your internet speed. Proximity to your server is one factor. 5G connections have a range of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/computer.howstuffworks.com\/weather-affect-internet-connection.htm#:~:text=Like%20satellite%20transmissions%2C%204G%20and,this%20less%20of%20an%20issue.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">roughly 1,500 feet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (457 meters). If you\u2019re on the outer limits of this range, your speed will be extremely slow. If you\u2019re outside this range, you will not receive any connection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, being close to your server is insufficient to receive high speeds. Your wiring and connection ports need to be modern, high-quality products. The type of network you have can affect your speed. 3G networks have a larger range than 4G networks, but their maximum speeds are lower. As mentioned, the number of users can affect speeds, especially while using an older network or a public Wi-Fi hotspot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you use a public network, you should figure out where the server is and position yourself as close to it as possible. But you must take into account other factors.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_a_New_Router_Will_Increase_Your_Speed\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting a New Router Will Increase Your Speed<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technology experts recommend that you update your router <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/home\/internet\/how-to-tell-when-its-time-to-upgrade-your-router\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">once every five years<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><b>You may want to update your router sooner if you install smart gadgets or new internet infrastructure in your home.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you&#8217;re happy with your router, you can keep it for a little longer than five years, but you will experience slower speeds as time passes. You should <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vmedia.ca\/blog\/en\/how-to-reset-wifi-router\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reset your Wi-Fi router<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to improve your network performance at least once a year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Updating your router can increase your speed, but you may need to buy additional technology, like fibre optic cables. Updating your internet package to a higher speed or data cap may be more helpful. While updating your package is more expensive than buying a router, you may save money over time, as you\u2019re not experiencing delays with your connection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Related: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vmedia.ca\/blog\/en\/how-long-does-a-router-last\/\"><b>How Long Does a Router Last?<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fibre_Optics_Are_Fragile\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fibre Optics Are Fragile<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Optical fibres are glass fibres that carry <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vmedia.ca\/blog\/en\/fiber-internet\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fibre internet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> signals without electromagnetic interference or signal loss.
