This should NOT be a problem for customers on our Wide Open Internet Plans.

• Is it your Wi-Fi router that is causing the problem? – Not all routers are created equal and many routers (especially if they are a couple years old) simply cannot keep up with today’s demand for Internet speed and bandwidth. To determine if it is your router, try plugging a laptop or computer directly into you Internet connection, bypassing the router, and using the wired Internet connection. If this seems to solve the speed issue, then the culprit of your hindered Internet speeds is likely your Wi-Fi router.
