Wired internet connection problem

There can be a number of reasons behind the slow speed of your internet. It can be due to your old router that needs to be changed. Old routers limit the speed of the internet. Another main reason is the weak internet signals. You can set up a wifi booster at your place which will provide strength to your internet signals and enhance the coverage area.

The last and the most important reason is, maybe you’re not getting the actual speed of the internet that your ISP has promised you. To make this sure, you should keep using this speed test tool to check the speed of the internet that you’re getting ptcl speed test

Plug your laptop into his Ethernet cable and see if you get the same slow speed. If yes then try a new cable to see if that fixes. If you get good speed then the issue is with his PC. Maybe his hard drive is about to expire.
