Evaluation of your internet debit

If you feel that your connection is slow, it is that your network coverage is bad.Therefore, you will find it difficult to make calls or open videos.To check the speed of your Internet connection, do tests on dedicated sites!You will see different options, typing "Internet Debit test" on your search engine.

Concretely, don't be satisfied with a single test!You have to do tests throughout the day and in different circumstances.Indeed, latency can be a passenger problem.Sometimes just call your operator to adjust the concern.

Change of mobile operator

Sometimes you only have to change your mobile operator to end the slowness of your internet debit.It should be noted that an operator does not cover a territory in the same way as its competitors.Some areas are better served by 4G and 5G, while others not.For example, the frequencies used for 4G are in bands ranging from 700 to 2600 MHz.Depending on the place where you are, so you can have a huge flow difference!

It all depends on the positioning of the relay antennas and also on the weather which can influence the diffusion of waves.When relatives come at home, take the opportunity to test the connection with different operators (Orange, SFR, Free, Bouygues, Sosh ...).You can choose the best possible to capture well from your home before committing to a new subscription.

Anyway, don't be too in a hurry to change operator!Indeed, it can be a temporary disturbance.So try to contact the company before making your decision!It would be a shame to invest in another supplier (with the costs that it engages), when it was not necessary.

The use of a mobile amplifier for 4G and 5G

This is a sometimes more interesting investment!Instead of changing operator, a simple mobile signal amplifier can change the situation.

As its name suggests, a mobile amplifier or GSM improves your mobile signal.In practice, it captures a signal from your internet box which it amplifies within your home in order to boost your Internet connection inside your home.On the other hand, your house must be covered and you will have to have access to an internet subscription.Otherwise, this tool will be useless.

In reality, this solution is useful for houses that have access to the Internet, but some parts of which are ill -served for the standard mobile network.To take advantage of the 4G orange amplifier, you will therefore have to have a box subscription with this operator.We also speak of a mobile repeater to designate this technology to amplify the signal of mobile devices.

Here is how the mobile amplifier works:

The subscription to an internet package in addition

Sometimes you already have a quality internet connection at home.Nevertheless, when you go on weekends or on vacation, it is the total void.To remedy it, you can take an additional package.Its main asset: you don't have to pay it every month.It is a unique purchase according to your needs.You can, for example, limit yourself to 2 GB if you judge that it is more than enough.

Generally, the Internet connection will be shared by a box or a wingle.But you can use your smartphone directly.In fact, you just have to use a mobile terminal because you will not take root in your place of stay.

Replacing the smartphone to better capture the internet

Here we are entering a more drastic solution, but which can concern everyone.Eh yes !Some smartphones are already old, and their quality is deteriorating.Others, on the other hand, have manufacturing defects.As soon as the network is affected, it becomes urgent to replace them.

There are thousands of models of smartphones currently available on the market.Some models have even been in 5g since 2019.These are not necessarily high -end terminals, whose prices are close (or even exceed) the € 1,000 mark.On the contrary, you can already acquire good smartphones from a hundred euros, if your uses are relatively basic.There, we are talking about web navigation, social networks and video viewing.

Beware of the choice of smartphone!It is important to favor "CE" models (European compliance).Thus, you will have access to all 4G and 5G bands available in France.If you import non -European terminals, you can be penalized at the network level.This is mainly valid for Chinese variations.

The move for a better mobile signal

For information, this is the last resort solution.Indeed, your house may be just in an area where the mobile signal is of very poor quality.Even by choosing all these solutions, the problem may persist.In this case, you have to change your area.

To do this, check that there is a 4G and 5G relay antenna in the place where you are moving.The more you will be near this antenna, the better your mobile signal will be.Obviously, you don't need to go there to check this.Instead, just use a cover card!

NB: In rural areas, a relay antenna covers an area of 10 to 30 km.But in town, the coverage area is only 500 m.This means that urban areas have a much higher internet speed.

In the end, the factors that most impact your Internet debit are your operator and your location.Certainly, you can also have a smartphone that captures badly, but this case is rare.As soon as you feel a latency when you use your terminal, check the speed of your connection!You can then contact your operator if the debit is not optimal.Attention !Do not rush to change operator or, worse, move.Sometimes latency is only temporary.Work or interference should not lead you to make such categorical decisions.
