How to Speed Up 3G Internet
3G Internet enables cell phone owners to access the Web on the go. It allows them to stay connected with the world, even in places where you do not find Internet access. You get to enjoy other Internet features on your phone like video calling, wireless data transfer and more. Ordinarily, the download speed of 3G Internet goes up to 14.4 megabits per second and the upload speed goes up to 5.8 megabits per second. Though this speed is suitable for handsets, if you’re not satisfied with it, you can try some methods to maximize the speed.

Download one thing at a time. For instance, if you’re trying to stream a YouTube video, let it load before you start another task. Multitasking kills the download speed and distributes the bandwidth to all the applications trying to connect to the Internet. As result, it takes longer for the YouTube video to load, and even longer for the Web pages to load.

Consider the option of moving somewhere near the city. This could be a reasonable option for people living in rural areas where 3G Internet coverage is not very strong and they depend too much on it. Larger cities tend to have better coverage. You will also find 3G hotspots where you can get the best signal and enjoy fast speed.

Access the Internet from your phone in open spaces, near windows or outdoors. Obstructions like walls, metal and glass tend to block the signal, which causes your Internet speed to slow down.
