The internet is pretty ubiquitous these days. Most people have it in their homes, and even many public places offer access to free Wi-Fi connections. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get even more out of the internet service you have. If you’re looking to get the most out of your high-speed CenturyLink internet connection, it might surprise you to know that you may want to reconsider some of your habits. Here are a few tips to help make the most of your broadband connection.

Understand Your CenturyLink Internet Connection

Most people are not entirely sure what their broadband speed is. Many people only have a rough idea that’s often based on what they know their internet package is supposed to provide. The easiest way to determine your broadband speed is to visit a tool like Speedtest.net and run a test to see what your connection speed is. Check your speed regularly. Knowing this information can help you determine if you might want to upgrade to a faster CenturyLink package to enjoy improved speeds even more.

Make the Most of Your Online Time

When it comes to using broadband internet, the possibilities are endless. You can use it for work, play, and everything in between. You just want to be sure you’re making the most of your online time by using your broadband connection to its fullest potential.

Once you know what kind of broadband connection you have, take advantage of its capabilities. Use your broadband connection for streaming video, downloading files, and gaming online. You’ll be surprised at how much you can do with a fast and reliable connection.

Optimize Your Computer Settings

When it comes to optimizing your computer settings, there are a few things you can do to make sure your broadband connection is running at its best. First and foremost, check to see if your computer is set up properly for broadband. Make sure your software is up to date and that all of your components are compatible with your broadband service. If your computer isn’t set up correctly, you may experience degraded performance or find that it’s dropping your broadband connection entirely.

Next, adjust your browser settings. Many browsers have preferences that can be tweaked to improve your browsing experience. For example, Chrome has a “Speed Up webpage loading” setting that can help reduce the amount of time it takes for a webpage to load. Firefox also has a “Network Connection” setting that you can use to improve overall speed and performance when using the web.

And finally, make sure your computer is running the latest software updates. Many times, software updates contain bug fixes and other enhancements that can improve your computer’s overall performance. If your computer is running outdated software, it may not be able to handle the demands of high-speed internet service.

Whenever you make any changes to your computer settings, be sure to test them out first to see if they improve your broadband experience. And remember – always consult with CenturyLink if you have any questions about how to optimize your computer for broadband usage.
