Benefits of Putting Limits On Wifi Speed

The real question is, “Why limit the internet speed? Isn’t that a very unfair thing for the people who use it?”. Relax, of course there are several reasons why there should be a speed limit on wifi. Following are the reasons.

Enjoy Internet with Stable Speed Every Month

Do you often experience that the internet that you pay monthly to the ISP experiences fluctuating speeds? Sometimes it’s very fast and sometimes it’s very slow, downloading an image with a size of 1Mb takes just over 5 minutes, of course it’s very annoying.

Instead of that happening, maybe it’s a good idea to get used to limiting your internet speed. With internet speed restrictions, you will start to get used to the internet speed by assuming that the internet network you have is stable. But is that the main reason? Of course not!

FUP More Efficient

The main reason is that FUP is economical. FUP can be called a reasonable restriction on internet use. So, every ISP must have its FUP even though they provide unlimited service for one month. However, surely you have experienced that after using the internet for 15 days, the next 15 days the internet feels very slow. Did you use the internet intensely 15 days ago and download various videos and also watch videos in 4K quality?

With internet restrictions, you can be wiser in using the internet and FUP can be more economical, so the internet will be very stable until the end of the month.

Teach a Device Connecting Your Wifi Without Permission

Do you feel very annoyed when the wifi you have in your house is used without your permission by your neighbors or the kids who are always playing games on your terrace and using your wifi without permission? Of course that is a very annoying thing right? It doesn’t have permission and it actually harms you, unless you get permission first and use it within reasonable limits, it might still be okay.

With internet restrictions, an unregistered IP can mean very slow internet. Therefore, pay attention to the points above related to listing the IP gadgets of your home members.

Reducing Internet Speeds That Are Too Fast, So It’s Not Used Wrongly To Access Sites That Are Less Important

Sometimes if you are complacent with a fast internet connection that makes you open sites that are not important, for example, to download games with very large sizes of up to tens of Gb. Of course, this will make your FUP run out quickly and then your internet speed will decrease.
