Internet is slow for everyone in the office
Your internet connection is either too slow or being clogged up by something using a lot of bandwidth. First, test your internet speed at speedtest.net. If it's lower than normal, contact your internet provider. If speed is fine, something on your network is using it all up. Check for large downloads, backups, or video streaming happening right now.
When the whole office is slow at once, it's not one person's computer. It's your internet connection or something on your network eating up all the bandwidth. This is different from one person being slow. You need to check your internet speed first, then look for what's hogging the connection. It's a backup running, someone downloading large files, or your connection isn't fast enough for the number of people using it.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Blaming the internet provider before checking if something on the network is hogging bandwidth. A backup or streaming service is the real culprit
- Not realizing that cloud backups run automatically in the background. They're invisible but can eat up your entire upload speed
- Having too many devices on WiFi when they should be on network cables. WiFi is always slower than wired
Signs you need professional help
- Your speed test shows lower speeds than your plan promises. Contact your internet provider Speed is good but still slow for some people.
