Why social media thinks government intentionally slowed internet after Delhi building collapse - Scroll.in
Scroll.in is reporting on the story above. It caught our attention because it may affect readers checking their internet or a specific service on SpeedTestTools right now.
When unexpected events happen, people immediately turn to their phones to reach loved ones, check local updates, and share critical news. Experiencing a sudden slowdown during a crisis is deeply unsettling. It makes it hard to coordinate help and quickly fuels confusion about whether local towers are simply overwhelmed by crowds or if service has been restricted.
To figure out what is happening with your own connection, start by running a speed test on both your mobile data and your home Wi-Fi. If everything feels slow, test a variety of tools. Try loading a simple web page, sending a standard text message, and opening a social media feed. When basic websites work normally but major sharing platforms refuse to load, the issue is often specific to those services rather than your entire connection.
During breaking news, knowing how to test your connection helps you work around local disruptions and find the most reliable way to stay in touch.
- Run a quick speed test — get concrete numbers before assuming it's your ISP.
- Open the Down Detector board to see which major services are actually having issues right now.
- If numbers look off, walk through the Fix-My-Internet checklist — most issues clear in the first two steps.
