What effects the internet performance?

Question

What, how & when(when mean, morning or evening)

Answer 1

performance? if you're talking about speed, it's probably the connection. Such as: cable connection, high-speed, wireless and etc

Answer 2

The internet is a series of "interconnected networks," and is susceptible to a variety of performance issues.

Think of the pages that are being accesses as "cars" on an expressway, and the "internet" as the "highway" system that these "cars" travel on.

If you are in New York, and the server that has the page you want to see is in Los Angelos, you send a "car" requesting that page. Now, the car is sent onto the "information superhighway" along with millions of other "cars" across a limitted number of "roads." Your car may go through Cincinnati, Chicago, El Paso, Las Vegas, and finally arrive in Los Angelos.

But, depending on how many other cars there are on the road at the same time, you may run into congestion. Now, when the server in LA gets your request, it sends a "car" back to New York. However, it only says "go here," it doesn't say "how," so this particular "car" may see congestion in Las Vegas and route through Boise, then Detroit, then Philadelphia instead of the way the original car took.

These "routes" are determined by ROUTERS, which keep maps of where the next "hop" is for a given destination. Routers can only route so many pages a second - so when one router gets overloaded, it rejects addtional requests, and traffic gets dumped to another location.

That's why the return trip may not take the same path as the original request.

Network Traffic is simply a matter of how many people are surfing the net (it peaks between 9 am EST and 5PM PST, because of the totally obscene number of people who should be working but "aren't.")

During "Peak Hours," traffic is more often routed over less than optimal paths - has to take more detours to avoid congested areas. Sometimes the paths appear to make no sense at all (NYC by way of Seattle, Mexico City, Ontario, Atlanta, and Tampa Bay), but you don't know that - you only know that the net is "slow."

Answer 3

when you say internet performance do your mean to say the speed?there are a lot of factors affecting speed,it might be the operating system itself like if it is an old pc(it will affect your internet connection)..also the temporary files that the browser has stored..i dont think time will affect your internet connection..the package that u have subscribed for will definitely affect your internet connection.
