Internet speeds are directly proportional to the phone's speed. It is essential that your phone is performing at its best, so the internet works smoothly. If your phone keeps hanging most of the times, it is likely that your phone's internet will suffer too.

In order to boost your phone's internet speed, clear cache on your phone. There are tools on Google Play Store that will help you with that, but users can manually go through individual app folders and clear the cache.

Next up is to keep the phone from running unnecessarily in the background. Go through your phone's apps carefully and delete the ones that are not useful. This will consume less power and data, due to a default setting in some phones which permits background data usage. In case an app is important to have, then simply go to the settings and find the app to limit background consumption of data.

If you are experiencing problems with slow browsing despite having Jio 4G, then you can disable browser's images, Gizbot reports. This will not load images on a website and just show the text, which will definitely increase your speed.
