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
A Speedtest is a service that provides free analysis of Internet access parameters, such as connection data rate.
A Ping Test shows how long it takes for packets to reach host.
A Traceroute Test traces the route of packets to destination host from our server.


WILL ASTRO BE CONSIDERING A REBATE OR DISCOUNT FOR SOME OF ITS LONG-TERM TENURE CUSTOMERS?

This Service Tax is imposed on customers of Pay TV broadcasting services by the Government. As such the Service Tax will be passed on to the customers.
 


I AM A CUSTOMER THAT IS CURRENTLY SUBSCRIBED TO THE PREVIOUS ASTRO PACKS (FAMILY PACK, STARTER PACK, VALUE PACK, SUPER PACK LITE, SUPER PACK OR SUPER PACK PLUS). HOW CAN I SUBSCRIBE TO MULTIROOM (SMART TV)?

Yes, existing Astro & Broadband customers within contract or out of contract can subscribe to Astro Fibre Bundle. The 24-month contract will be renewed.

However, your contract with Maxis/Allo needs to be terminated before signing up to this offer. An early cancellation fee applies if you are still within contract.

‍*Subject to Terms &Conditions of your contract


HOW DO I CANCEL NETFLIX?

If you are subscribed to Netflix via a bundle, Netflix comes by default as part of your entitlement.

If you are subscribed to Netflix as an a-la carte, the cancellation of Netflix can only be done via Netflix's Website, etc). This change will reflect in your next bill. From mid-December 2021 you may also cancel Netflix add-on through Astro Call Center.


WHY HAVE I NOT BEEN INFORMED ON THIS PPV CH200 CESSATION?

Information of the PPV CH200 cessation has been announced on CH200 from 1 - 7 October prior to the PPV cessation. Once again, we regret any inconvenience caused.
