[Kross]

I have noticed that the internet speed are very fast in some locations while they naturally become slower in other locations. What are the factors that determine the speed of internet that makes the speeds different between locations?

Many factors determine the speed of the internet, such as ISP, the device used, location will also affect the speed of the internet which is often influenced by weather factors, especially if you use data on a smartphone or are too far from the range of a signal tower.

I think the amount of people using the internet can also affect the speed, this is why the internet is usually faster during midnights or early in the morning.

Traffic to a large extent determines the speed of the internet an the proximity of the location to the network mast is also a factor.
