Internet speed can sometimes appear slightly lower or vary from your plan speed — and that’s completely normal. ⚙️
Your plan speed reflects the maximum speed available under ideal conditions, but several technical and environmental factors can influence the actual speed you experience.
⚙️ 1. Common Reasons for Speed Variation
| Reason | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Wi-Fi Signal Strength | Speed may drop if you’re far from the router or using the 2.4 GHz band. Try connecting via LAN cable or 5 GHz Wi-Fi for accurate results. |
| Device Limitation | Older phones, laptops, or routers may not support higher speeds like 100 Mbps+. |
| Multiple Devices Connected | Shared usage across multiple users (TVs, mobiles, downloads) divides total available bandwidth. |
| Peak Usage Hours | During evening hours (8 PM – 11 PM), heavy network usage in your area may cause slight slowdowns. |
| Background Apps | Apps like Google Drive, Netflix, or system updates can consume bandwidth silently. |
| Testing Method | Using third-party or distant speed servers may show reduced speed due to longer routing distance. |
| Wired vs. Wireless | LAN cable gives full plan speed; Wi-Fi usually delivers 70–90% depending on signal and interference. |
💡 To see your true speed, always test at mahekbroadband.in/speedtesting while connected via LAN or 5 GHz Wi-Fi.
📶 2. Expected Speed Range
Depending on your device and connection type, you can expect approximately:
| Connection Type | Expected Speed Range |
|---|---|
| LAN Cable | 95–100% of plan speed |
| 5 GHz Wi-Fi | 85–95% of plan speed |
| 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi | 60–80% of plan speed |
⚙️ Actual speed also depends on your router quality and signal distance.
🧠 3. How to Improve Your Speed
✅ Use Dual Band or Wi-Fi 6 router for high-speed plans.
✅ Keep router in an open, central location.
✅ Disconnect idle devices.
✅ Restart your router once every few days.
✅ Update router firmware regularly.
✅ Avoid placing router near metal or microwave appliances.
