Malware
Sometimes, it might not be your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or your router. It might be a possibility that your computer is infected with nuisance ware or malware. The malware often interrupts the performance of the internet. Therefore, it is important to keep your antivirus software up to date. If you think this is a possibility for slow internet speed, run an antivirus scan to rule out this possibility.
Congested VPN
Other reasons to consider for slow internet speed can be background usage of some of the applications installed in your PC and smartphones. If you don’t need those applications to work on internet in the background, then restrict it.
