FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO POOR/SLOW NETWORK THAT CAN BE TRACED TO THE USER AND NOT THE NETWORK PROVIDER.

Good Day Everyone, I hope we are all having a good day.

I have been reading alot of post, comments , opinions about issue of bad network from different networks, which includes MTN , Airtel and Glo.
I have read people's preferences, the disappoints and shortcomings they face from slow networks, I have also had personal experiences , so I can relate to the pain and anger this networks causes to businesses , career and many things.

Have you ever been so angry and frustrated because of slow/zero networks problem, to the point the thoughts of smashing your phone come to your mind ?
If yes, then you can relate to the the anger slow and zero network causes.
Network frustration is real.

The truth remains that, which ever network you chose to use , you are likely to face same challenge or frustration at some points.

Have you ever considered that there are some factors that lead to this bad network, that can traced back to you as a user? It's not always about the network providers, most times, it can be traced to our devices, locations and many others factors.

I would like to share these factors to this platform, so the next time you are complaining of bad network, you will check your ends properly, these includes ;

1 . THE LOCATION OF YOUR ROUTER OR WiFi :
Explaining this point, might be quite difficult, but let me try my best to communicate, if you have a gotv at home and your antenna happens to be reachable, you will always look out for obstructions while fixing it, so you could get quality signal.
I feel if you are using a router or wifi , you should look out for obstructions and distance. Your gadgets, laptop or phone should also be close to the router, I feel closeness makes it faster and your WiFi or router should be kept in a window or balcony.
This might be funny, but helpful too.

2 . YOUR DATA PLAN COULD ALSO BE A FACTOR :
I run away from awoofs ( bonus plans) alot, because each time I try it, I'm being restricted, I don't access the Internet without obstruction. Not just awoofs, social media bundles too. Why would you believe, your can get 2gb with #200, it's a deceit to yourself.

While choosing a plan, you ought to weight your activities, you can't get a cheap bundle and expect a miracle, good plans also enhance network speed.

3 . LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE USING OR CONNECTED TO YOUR ROUTER OR WIFI :
When your WiFi or router is connected to many people, it tend to affect the network, it slows down network and reduces network speed while working.
Limiting the number of people sharing your network will really help. If sharing is compulsory, get extra router or wifi.

4 . YOUR BROWSER COULD BE A HUGE FACTOR:
I have experienced this alot, especially with chrome, that's why we have other options like opera mini, Firefox and Safari for iPhone users. Change your browser, the network might not be the issue. Try and use other browsers while faced with network issues.

5 . TOO MUCH APPS:
Using too much apps that requires data in one device, would definitely slow down the speed of your data, in must cases hang your device. Must time, you freeze some apps and only access them when you want to.
This is a major cause of network issues.

These are the factors, that I feel could be the cause of your slow network or network issues, so before we persecute mobile networks, like MTN, Airtel and Glo, we should consider this factors. You can add more factors in the comment section. Thank you for reading.
