Read on.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_1_-_Check_Your_Internet_Connection\"><\/span>Method 1 &#8211; Check Your Internet Connection<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>First and foremost, you should check your internet connection to make sure that is not the issue. Oftentimes, poor internet connection or hindrance within it can result in slower uploads than usual.<\/p>\n<p>We recommend that you try other websites or even contact your service provider to ensure your internet speed is not an issue.
