How can I increase my internet speed?

Make sure you have a solid LAN setup (your local area network). Generally it is best to use the provided modem as just a modem and then start with our own router and run a wired network. Use WiFi when you need too, but try to hardwire everything you can.
 
Do a speedcheck online first and then compare it to what your contract states from your Internet Service Provider. If they aren't providing you with the proper speed, call and complain.

After that, sometimes it helps to reboot your modem and router, unplug everything, let it sit for at least 10 seconds and then plug it back in and see if that makes a difference.

Then check to make sure your antivirus software isn't slowing you down. Is the rest of your computer slow or just online activity?

If you're trying to do gaming and it's slow, it could be your computer system causing the lag. How old is it?
 
Use Cat 7 cable also 😉 that will help with the speed
 
Call your ISP and have them increase your speeds, you'll probably need to pay more each month though. 🙂

As previously stated, make sure you're using a Cat 7 cable.
 
Drop your current ISP and sign up with a new company (that offers faster speeds).
 
There’s lots of great tips in this thread. Personally, I’ve been paying for high speed Internet that seems to no longer be high speed. I recently called and complained, and that problem was fixed, like the flip of a switch.
 
Only way I know is to call up your service provider and pay more for a faster speed deal.

This is the best thing to do. Your ISP throttles your speed sometimed for reasons best known to them.
