So, as we\u2019ve said above, if your uploads are slow, it may just be a case of switching providers. Even if your connection is generally quite good, your supplier may be doing something called \u201cthrottling\u201d, which is when it deliberately reduces your available bandwidth in order to manage lots of users\u2019 traffic.<\/li><li><strong>Too many devices on a single network. <\/strong>As a general rule of thumb, the more devices logged in to the same broadband connection, the more of your connection\u2019s bandwidth is being used up, slowing down both your download and upload speeds. So if 3 or 4 users in a single household all want to stream ultra-high definition movies or play bandwidth-heavy online games at the same time, this can slow down everyone\u2019s connection.<\/li><li><strong>Malware on your computer. <\/strong>This could also be slowing down your device\u2019s ability to upload at a decent speed. You may have inadvertently downloaded malware, or malicious software, in an email attachment or when downloading a file from an untrustworthy website.<\/li><li><strong>Outdated device drivers. <\/strong>Drivers are pieces of software that allow your computer to control hardware like network adapters, printers and keyboards. Outdated drivers can prevent your device from uploading data to its full potential.<\/li><\/ul><h3 id=\"increase_speed\">How to increase your upload speed<\/h3><ul><li><strong>Try using a wired connection.<\/strong> If you\u2019re currently using a Wi-Fi connection, try connecting to the Internet with an ethernet cable to your computer. Wired connections can offer both faster upload and download speeds.<\/li><li><strong>Clear your temporary files.<\/strong> Clearing your web history, caches and cookies can increase the overall speed of your computer, and this in turn will increase your upload speed.<\/li><li><strong>Remove other devices from your network.<\/strong> Try removing any devices that you don\u2019t immediately need connected to the Internet. This can include wireless printers and mobile phones too.<\/li><li><strong>Remove malware.<\/strong> You should make sure you don\u2019t have any computer viruses. You can do this by downloading antivirus software and by making sure that it\u2019s working properly. There are a range of both free and paid-for antivirus software packages that can offer strong protection.<\/li><li><strong>Change your DNS settings.<\/strong> Domain name servers (DNS) are computer programs or servers that help \u201cpoint\u201d your web browser to different websites. They have different speeds and you can change your DNS by finding the fastest ones and entering the codes manually in your Internet settings. You can also download tools to help get the fastest ones. Two reliable tools are Google DNS and OpenDNS, but there are also some professional level ones that you have to pay for.<\/li><li><strong>Update device drivers.<\/strong> If your device drivers are outdated it can really slow you down. You can update them by clicking \u201cupdate device drivers\u201d in your network adapter\u2019s options menu.<\/li><li><strong>Upload at off-peak times.<\/strong> This one isn\u2019t particularly helpful if you need to upload data quickly now, but off-peak times have much quicker speeds, and this is something to consider when choosing the time you upload something.<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"fin-video fin-video--horizontal\" data-player-type=\"youtube\" data-video-id=\"gP4NM0Y5DSc\" style=\"\">\n    <div class=\"fin-video__container\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"fin-video__thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/gP4NM0Y5DSc\/maxresdefault.jpg\" data-fallback-sd=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/gP4NM0Y5DSc\/sddefault.jpg\" data-fallback-hq=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/gP4NM0Y5DSc\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\">\n                            <div class=\"fin-video__duration\">1:04<\/div>\n                        <div class=\"fin-video__play-btn\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Play video\"><\/div>\n                <iframe allow=\"autoplay\" class=\"fin-video__player\" id=\"ytPlayer-gP4NM0Y5DSc\" title=\"Video player\"><\/iframe>\n    <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n<h3>Bottom line<\/h3><p>The checks we\u2019ve mentioned should help you quickly work out whether the issue is your device, your network set-up or your broadband provider.
