Open Google Chrome, and type Test network speed in the search field. You will see a box containing the Run Speed Test button inside it. Click on this button and wait for the end result. The download and upload network speed should be something in a few Mbps to call your Internet connection fast.
6] Disable VPN or Proxy on Windows
Using VPNs and Proxies is pretty common among gamers. They do so to achieve maximum internet speed while playing NVIDIA GeForce games on their PCs. Although this method works almost all the time, there may come a time when this starts working in opposite direction.

- Press Windows + I to launch Settings.
- Select Network & Internet from the left sidebar and head over to the right pane.
- Here, you will find settings for both Proxy as well as VPN.
