# Test the internal speed using http://speedtest.aurinoco.net (requires using Aurinoco's DNS service, details at [[Which_DNS_servers_to_use]]).  Take a screen shot of the result

# Test the Internet speed using http://www.speedtest.net/.  Click on "Change server" and search for Bangalore or Bharti.  Choose Bharti Airtel Ltd, Bangalore.  Click on Go.  When the test has finished, take a screen shot of the result.  If the download speed is lower than expected, mail the screen shot to support@aurinoco.net

# If you are unable to do speed-tests, [[power cycle the network devices]]

# For WiFi users

** If the WiFi signal is weak move the modem closer to the computer. (within 15 mtrs on a direct line of sight)
9 4 Charles Atkinson
** If that is not practicable or the WiFi signal is still too low, upgrade your router to a more powerful model.

# Is the connection slow for all Internet services?  All websites?  Email etc.?
11 1 Charles Atkinson
** If it's just Internet browsing, try various websites to see if they are all affected.

** If it's just emails maybe the problem is with the email server.  Give them time to fix it and re-test.
