It\u2019s one of the most important questions of our modern age, one that is vitally important to billions of the Earth\u2019s inhabitants: how do you speed up streaming of videos and music from online services like Netflix<\/a>, Stan<\/a>, and similar sites?<\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing more frustrating and annoying than having a video suddenly hang up in the middle of a great scene because it\u2019s buffering due to slow speeds. Well, there\u2019s not much you can do about the speeds you\u2019re getting from your provider, but there are some steps you can take on your end to make your viewing or listening experience run a lot smoother.<\/p>\n

Australian streaming speeds<\/h2>\n

Turns out, Aussie\u2019s already enjoy some of the best streaming speeds in the world. According to Ookla, which operates the popular site speedtest.net, Australia ranks a solid fifth-best in the world<\/a> for mean download speeds, and tenth for upload speeds. Of course, some telcos provide better service than others. But overall, the performance is pretty good.<\/p>\n

While that\u2019s good news, it doesn\u2019t guarantee that you won\u2019t still experience problems, and part of the problem is self-induced. You\u2019re probably doing things, or not doing things, that slow down your streaming speeds.<\/p>\n

Here are some ways that you can speed up streaming and ensure trouble-free service.<\/p>\n
