After the limited bandwidth ended, the speed was reasonable enough to surf easily,but suddenly from yesterday,the speed has been reduced exponentially and even Fedora's startup page is taking a lot of time.How to check if any program is consuming or enhance the speed?
Monitoring network bandwidth can be a tricky issue.
First of all, I would check run a speedtest from a public website, such as http://speedtest.net. See what speeds you are getting - if they are slow, then it's likely that you just have a slow internet connection!
If you think the problem might be on your computer though - one application hogging the network bandwidth, then you should try iftop.
To install iftop:
sudo yum install iftop
Now run it:
sudo iftop
Press Q to exit iftop. To learn more about the tool, run:
man iftop
A good place to start is with the quality of the connection itself. You can run a traceroute to a well known site to see if packets are getting dropped, and by who:
su -c 'yum install mtr' su -c 'mtr fedoraproject.org'
