First, What Makes Fibre Different?
Most people have used mobile data their whole lives and mobile data is great for browsing on the go. But fibre internet is a completely different beast. Instead of radio signals from a cell tower, fibre sends data as pulses of light through a physical cable directly to your home. This means your connection is not affected by how many people in your neighbourhood are online, it doesn’t slow down when it rains, and it doesn’t compete with your neighbour’s connection.
With Syscodes, our home plans start from 20 Mbps and go all the way up to 100 Mbps for SME
customers all on an unlimited, no-data-cap basis. That means no watching the clock as your
gigabytes count down. Just internet, as much as you need.
Place Your Router in the Right Spot
This is the number one thing that makes the biggest difference and costs absolutely nothing. Your router is the bridge between Syscodes’ fibre connection and every device in your home. Where you place it determines how well the Wi-Fi reaches every corner.
| Place router centrally in your home | Hiding router in a cupboard or corner |
| Elevate it, a shelf or table works great | Placing it flat on the floor |
| Keep it in open air, nothing blocking it | Putting it behind the TV or fridge |
| Position it away from microwave & cordless phones | Clustering it with other electronics |
| Point antennas vertically for best coverage | Laying antennas flat or sideways |
Connect Important Devices Directly by Cable
Wi-Fi is convenient, but a physical LAN cable (Ethernet cable) between your router and your device is always faster and more stable. If you work from home, or someone in your household games online, plug those devices in directly. Reserve the Wi-Fi for phones, tablets, and smart TVs that can’t easily be cabled.
Restart Your Router the Smart Way
A lot of people restart their routers by frantically pressing the reset button. Don’t do that the reset button wipes your router settings back to factory default! Instead, simply switch it off at the wall socket, wait 30 seconds, and switch it back on. This clears temporary memory, refreshes the connection, and usually fixes minor slowdowns. If you’re experiencing consistent slowness, contact our 24/7 support team and we’ll investigate from our end.
Take Advantage of Our Unlimited Data
One of the biggest advantages of your Syscodes plan is that it’s truly unlimited, no data caps, no throttling after you hit a certain limit. This means you can schedule large downloads, software updates, and backups to happen overnight without worrying about your usage. Set your PC and phone to update apps and back up to the cloud automatically at night, so your daytime browsing is always fast and uncluttered.
