If you are unaware of your internet speed, you can check by performing a speed test from websites such as fast.com, Speedtest.net, etc.<\/p>\n<p>After visiting a speed test website, check whether your internet is active and stable. If you are receiving lower speeds from your service provider, then there is an issue with the internet and you need to switch to a stable network.
