If your connection is slower than expected, the download speed of your eSIM can often be improved with a few simple steps:
-
Check your location and network coverage
Make sure you’re in an area with good mobile coverage. Signals can be weaker inside buildings, basements, or remote locations. A small change in location (for example moving closer to a window or going outside) can already make a difference. -
Keep your device and software up to date
Ensure that your smartphone is running the latest version of iOS or Android. Software updates often include improvements to network performance and overall stability. -
Reduce background activity
Disable automatic app updates, cloud syncing, and other background processes that may be using bandwidth without you noticing. -
Use tethering wisely
If you’re sharing your eSIM data connection with other devices, this can affect speed. For the most stable and fastest connection, USB tethering is recommended, as it’s less prone to interference than Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. -
Reconnect to the network
Turn airplane mode on for a few seconds and then off again. This forces your device to reconnect to the mobile network. Reset network settings (optional) If connection issues persist, resetting your network settings can help. Please note that this will remove saved Wi-Fi networks, passwords, and Bluetooth connections.
Important to know: Actual speeds always depend on the local mobile network, current network congestion, and your device. Especially during peak times, speed fluctuations can occur.
With these tips, your connection can usually be stabilized and improved — ideal for work, streaming, or navigation while traveling.
