I have a couple questions if anyone has a word of advice to share.

Right now i live in Port Coquitlam around coast meridian and we switched to Telus Optik when we moved here less then a year ago. Ever since we moved the internet has been slow as shit. I do not do a lot of gaming. My computer and the tv is hooked up to the lan and every other device is wireless. The only online game i play on my computer is WoW and it is choppy to the point where it is not enjoyable. I also noticed that sometimes i can not even watch a YouTube video at 1080p and full screen. There are 3 laptops, 2 ipads, and about 4 phones constantly hooked up to the wireless. I completely turned off the wireless this morning and my results were not much different. My best results actually with SpeedTest had the wireless on. I believe the internet is supposed to be 15mbps and im at:

But is there any way i can get more speed out of this internet. I was talking to a family member this morning and he pretty much told the problem may be that there are too many users in this area so the internet gets bogged down quite a bit. I am also posting this at 10:49am so this is not the busiest time of day either.

Any advice on getting my internet faster. I also considered that maybe when the internet was hooked up the telus guy who came did a dodgy job. For the first couple months my lan did not even work with my computer. The internet would constantly go in and out at first. Temporarily i had a wireless USB hooked up but i unplugged it a couple months ago to try and it and the lan works now.

I have no clue if there is anything that can be done, my knowledge is minimal so if you come here saying to this and that there is a good chance you may have break it down a bit so someone like me can understand

Thank You.

Tyler.
