Article: There are virtually countless reasons why your Internet might not be performing as you expect it to, but a few common reasons include the following:  Old software or hardware Too many other computers or mobile items on the network Ongoing downloads Signal interference from walls or other appliances Low Internet speed from your Internet Service Provider . You pay for a certain amount of Mbps (megabits) per second of upload and download speed; checking your actual upload and download speed will give you an approximate idea of how close you are to the advertised speed.  Many Internet Service Providers advertise speeds of "up to" a certain number, meaning that the top speed itself isn't guaranteed. Most of the time, your computer's highest upload or download speed will be a little bit lower than the advertised speed. If the actual speed is close to the advertised speed, your ISP isn't the problem. Check your service plan to see what speed you are paying for, then compare that number with the actual speed that you found. If the speeds aren't anywhere close to each other, you'll need to call your ISP.  If you haven't upgraded your internet in a long time, you may be able to find faster internet for lower prices. Check all of the providers in your area. Don't fall for the megabit/megabyte trap. ISPs advertise in megabits, not megabytes. There are 8 megabits (Mb) in a megabyte (MB), so if you are paying for 25 megabits per second (Mbps), then that's just over 3 megabytes per second (MBps) of actual transfer speed. If you are connected to the internet via a Wi-Fi router, you'll find that your Internet speed drops as you move further away from your router. Stay as close as possible to your router for maximum Internet speed. Make sure that your router and your computer have plenty of room all the way around to prevent overheating. If your router's signal has to travel through even one wall or appliance (e.g., a refrigerator), its signal will be weakened. A good rule of thumb is to have your router visible from where you're using your computer or mobile at all times. If your router is on a different floor than you, you may not even be able to receive a signal. Like a freeway, your Wi-Fi network can only handle a certain amount of traffic before it slows down. If possible, make sure that your computer is the only connection to your router; this will give you the best Internet results. It isn't always feasible to limit Internet access to one computer, but you can turn off and unplug things like smart TVs, extra computers, video game consoles, and anything else (e.g., an extra smartphone or tablet) that maintains an Internet connection even when turned off. instead of Wi-Fi. Most computers can plug directly into the back of the router using an Ethernet cable, which removes the lag time between the router's signal departing and your computer receiving the signal.  If you use a Mac computer, you'll most likely need an Ethernet to USB-C adapter if you want to plug your computer into the router. You cannot connect mobile platforms (e.g., smartphones and tablets) to Ethernet.

Article: Once bowled, the ball should ideally begin to swing late in its delivery. Decrease the distance between yourself and the batsman before you bowl to ensure that the ball doesn’t swing too soon. Aim at either the stump itself or very close to it. Keep it high at first. Then, as you bowl, pull it straight down, close to your body. This will keep the front of your body clear for your bowling arm to follow through after the ball’s release. Pitch it while your bowling arm is still high. When you release the ball, angle your wrist down and across the ball toward the slips. Follow through by bringing your bowling arm down across your body so that your fingers touch your other armpit.
