The Factors that Deter Bandwidth and How to fix it

by Extreme Peering Internet Accelerator

Ah, that magic word — bandwidth! In our hyper-connected world, businesses and users need it, crave it, shop for the best offerings of it, even while most misunderstand it.Contrary to popular belief, bandwidth isn’t necessarily about speed. It’s the capacity of your network to transmit data. Low bandwidth is caused by smaller network size or when too many users make use of the same server. Fortunately, ISP caching solutions are at the helm of solving poor bandwidth and network congestion's.

However, the size of network is one of the few factors that affects bandwidth. Just as a partial clog in a pipeline slows the flow of water, other factors can deter your bandwidth. These include:

1.      Network Logistics

If your network is inadequate for the number of users or the amount of data it is called upon to handle, your bandwidth will naturally suffer. Old equipment or cables can also not be up to recent specifications for handling large amounts of data. Malware and viruses can devour critical resources and slow performance. All this means long wait times for data transfers, slow productivity, and frequent breakdowns.

 

2.      Local Competition

This is otherwise known as “Noisy neighbor syndrome.” If you have a “best effort” internet service, you share your connection with other nearby clients. As they hog more of the resources from your provider to your area, you get less.  So, a neighboring business that requires lots of data transfer capacity can leave you waiting with frustration.

 

3.      Multiple Network Bottlenecks

Your network path can link together with other ISPs that may not be as savvy as yours. An older network may not be able to handle the amount of bandwidth that yours can. Latency, packet loss, and jitter in other connected networks can all slow performance. It’s the old “weakest link” analogy — your bandwidth is only as good as the weakest network link in the chain.

Internet accelerator companies have come out with caching softwares in peer-to-peer and HTTP networks to speed up the internet. One such company- Extreme Labs’ web acceleration technology has been regarded as the best cache server for ISP looking for a network expansion without the need for any external hardware.
