The first thing to check is who is using your bandwidth? Think of bandwidth like a freeway with 2 lanes. If lots of people are driving on the same freeway, traffic will flow more slowly as cars get backed up. If many people are driving on your freeway (your bandwidth) your internet will similarly be slow.
The first place to check is in your own home. Children are notorious for downloading every game, movie or music file they can find. Check who is downloading or using bandwidth intensive applications on the internet.
Online games with other users across the world or street are big bandwidth suckers. Your kids are probably playing games like this all the time and you might be thinking that they are playing a game that was installed on the hard drive. Watching online video clips or movies or listening to streaming music are other bandwidth intensive activities. Kill all these applications and see if your speed improves.
