=== Assistant: That sounds about right for Egypt's internet. ===
That sounds about right for Egypt's internet. The infrastructure might allow for high speeds in theory, but in practice, the experience is frustrating. Since you're in Nasr City, which should have some of the best coverage, it's likely a mix of ISP limitations and overloaded networks.

Here are some things you can try to improve your connection:

===== - Use a wired connection (Ethernet) whenever possible. Wi-Fi can be unreliable. =====
* Upgrade your router if it's old or the default ISP one. Good routers (like TP-Link Archer or ASUS models) can manage connections better.
* Switch to 5GHz Wi-Fi if your router supports it; it's less congested than 2.4GHz.

===== - Which provider are you using? Some ISPs like WE, Vodafone, Orange, and Etisalat vary a lot in quality by area. =====
* Fair Usage Policies – Check if your ISP throttles speeds after a limit. Some ISPs offer premium plans with fewer restrictions.
* Try different providers – If you have fiber options (like WE Fiber or Orange Fiber), they tend to be more stable.

===== - Use a VPN – Sometimes, ISPs prioritize local traffic and throttle international connections. A good VPN (like NordVPN or ExpressVPN) might improve stability. =====
* Change DNS Settings – Google's DNS (8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) can sometimes improve response times.
* Disable background apps – Streaming apps, cloud backups, and auto-updates can slow things down.

===== - If fiber isn’t an option, 5G or 4G routers (with a strong SIM data plan) might be more stable than traditional ADSL. Some people find Vodafone or Orange's 4G internet better than landline-based options. =====

Would you consider switching ISPs or trying fiber if it’s available in your area?
