• FTTB – it’s based on the usage of the fiber-optic cable which is connected to the transmitter in the subscriber’s building and then the twisted pair is outstretched. Nowadays it’s the most popular way of connection.
• 3G/4G –this type is used in mobile nets .The USB modem is used for laptops and computer connection while for the net 3G/4G routers

In fact, there are no problems with wire connection, whereas wireless might be troublesome. The more gadgets are attached to the router the lower the speed might be. We recommend that you always change the factory password of the WiFi network to a more secure one using a password generator app.

Apart from the equipment, the speed can be influenced by software that uses the traffic mainly.

If the internet speed differs more than 10% one more measuring is advisable or use the same services, for example speedtest.net. If the result remains the same, call the provider for the reasons.

It’s frequently asked how to define the ideal minimum of speed. Actually it depends on the purposes of the usage.
