SLOW INTERNET CONNECTION - ASTRO FIBRE

Slow browsing using LAN cable

Looks like there is something wrong with your service connection.

Please run the Speed Test and attach the picture or screenshot of the speed test in the Feedback Form below, in order for us to provide further assistances.

Click here for Speed Test guideline.

Quick Info

A Speedtest is a service that provides free analysis of Internet access  parameters, such as connection data rate.
 


Slow browsing using Wi-Fi

1. Router Positioning

Most people underestimate the importance of picking a good spot for a Wi-Fi router. Even a small shift in positioning could end up being the difference between day and night.
 

i) High vs. Low

Put the router as high up as possible to extend the broadcasting range of the radio waves. This also helps clear the router of possible interferences.
 

ii) Concrete & Metals

Make sure your router isn't blocked by any other objects, especially devices that are electronic. Also, avoid placing your router in your basement as this area is usually enclosed by a lot of concrete, which can be almost impossible for Wi-Fi signals to penetrate.
 

iii) Distance to Router

The further away from your router you get, the weaker the Wi-Fi signal. Therefore, the best option is to place your router as close to your devices as possible, but this is only practical if you have one main area where you tend to use your devices.
 

Otherwise, you should place your router near the center of your home. After all, Wi-Fi broadcasts in 360 degrees, so it doesn't make sense to put it at one end of the house.



2. Wireless Interference & Noise

You've probably never noticed but there are wireless signals all around you wherever you go and  they're passing through you all the time. From where? Electronic devices, Wi-Fi routers, satellites, cell towers, and more.

Although Wi-Fi is supposed to be on a different frequency than most of these devices, the amount of radio noise can  still cause interference. Some common causes of interference include:

i) Microwaves

ii) Bluetooth Devices

iii) Cordless Phone


 

3. Surrounding Wi-Fi signals

A truth of the modern world is that every household has their own Wi-Fi network, which can cause issues with channel  overlap. This can be somewhat problematic in a townhouse, but is especially problematic in housing complexes and apartments where there can be many routers within close proximity.

Which is why it's important that you pick a good channel in your router settings. Modern routers can choose channels for you automatically, but sometimes it's better to investigate and find the best channel yourself.

 

4. Usage

More likely, however, is that the people on your network such as friends, roommates, or family members are participating in bandwidth-heavy activities like gaming and streaming Ultrabox/ Netflix.

Fortunately, if this is the case, you can prioritize your own network traffic by enabling Quality of Service in your router settings.

If the problem persists, please run a Ping Test, Traceroute Test and attach the picture or screenshot of both test results in the Feedback Form below, in order for us to provide further assistances.

Please make sure to attach the required screenshot(s) in ONE file (i.e. Microsoft Word document, PDF, Image file) before submitting the form.


Quick Info

SLOW LOADING OR BUFFERING AT RECORDING, ON DEMAND OR PLAY FROM START

STEP 1
Check the internet connectivity by run the Test Connection.
Refer Run Test Connection.


STEP 2
Verify the average speedtest based on the Test Connection result.
a. Above 10Mbps - Proceed to STEP 5
b. Less then 10 Mbps - Proceed to STEP 3

Notes: Minimum 10 Mbps internet speed from box requires in order to get a stable connection.



STEP 3
Check the connection to the box either using Ethernet (LAN cable) or Wi-Fi.
a. If using Ethernet (LAN cable) - Connect to Live Agent for help.
b. If using Wi-Fi - Proceed to STEP 4



STEP 4

Check location of the decoder and router.
a. If nearby (within 1.5m) - Try connect to box from router using LAN cable.
b. If far (more than 1.5m) / No LAN cable - Proceed STEP 5



STEP 5

Reboot router, modem and decoder.
If issue persist, please try again after 30mins to 1 hour. Connect to live agent if persist after 30 mins to 1 hour.
