Tips to speed up Vi 4G internet
1. Check your data plan
Make sure you are subscribed to a 4G data plan. Sometimes, slower internet speeds are due to being on a plan with limited speed or data. You can check your plan details through the Vi app or by contacting customer care.
2. Optimize your phone
Sometimes your phone is the main cause of slow internet speed in Vi or any other network. To avoid it or fix the affected internet speed in Vi, you can optimize your phone by clearing the cache of your phone and apps to free up space and improve performance:
- Android: Go to Settings > Storage > Cached data, and clear the cache.
- iPhone: Reboot the device, as it clears temporary files automatically.
3. Use a reliable browser
Using a fast and efficient browser can enhance your internet speed. You should use optimized browsers like Google Chrome or Opera Mini to get the most speed out of your Vi 4G internet.
4. Disable background apps
Background apps can consume bandwidth, slowing down your internet speed in Vi. You should close or disable background data for apps you’re not using.
