If you find that your internet connection is too slow or you are If you had a VPN to connect to, I'd expect you'd see speeds increase again (though how much would depend on the speed of the VPN), as VPN traffic is usually high priority and the tunnel created would avoid any traffic management policies of the network is a modern DSL speed test to analyze your broadband internet access. Though, saying that, I'd have thought mobile data usage would be reduced, rather than increased, since more people would be on their home wifi. The serving masts in your area might now be handling more connections/users than usual - that too could result in each device now getting a smaller slice of the limited pie. It might be in the wake of the coronavirus that EE have altered their management policies to reduce the strain on their network and ensure voice calls/VOIP/VoLTE as the highest priority, and as a result you're seeing reduced speeds as everything else is much lower priority.Ĭombine that with the potential that your local area is seeing a higher population since no-one is moving around during the day. They probably throw in some of the popular speed test sites into the higher categories so as you say, when someone tests their speed (or when speed test reports get publicly published) it looks good. Clearly not getting 100 Mbps that ST.net says The OP is talking about EE here, not (pretty much) all network providers use 'traffic management' to one extent or another, to ensure that the service they are provided with maintained and the type of traffic is generally what gets prioritised depending on how urgent they deem it to be e.g. If you don't mind me asking, whereabouts in Yorkshire are you? I'm at the bottom of the 606 and connect to the mast at the top of the J26 slip road onto the M62 eastbound.Ī 23GB 8 hr 36 min VOD has just finished downloading at 12.08pm.
It is very interesting and I guess proves that it's not my end. This change is fairly recent - certainly within the past couple of months - as the VODs used to download fast and also TBB tests showed similar to ST.net.ĭarsuke : thanks for posting that. If they show good speeds because they "prioritise" the ST.net website but it's effectively capped at 10 Mbps for the rest of the internet, that feels pretty shady to me.
Gavin : what would be the reason for doing that? If true about ST.net then isn't that rather underhand? People looking to move to new ISP or 4G broadband will most likely use ST.net to run their checks on before committing to a 12 month contract.
