Is your Internet slower?

[Ink]

Due to the current worldwide situation, I know this may be the likely cause.

Both on Fibre Internet and 4G mobile data connection, I definitely have noticed slower loading time, not loading at all, more errors when connecting to webpages etc.

Yea me too slow down sometimes not all sites, that happened during lockdown..

Occasional slowdowns here on mediocre broadband. The U.S. is a technological 3rd World for most of its citizens, unless you have loads of $$$ and live in certain places. God bless America. It needs it!

Since everybody works from home, I experience some slowness, drops in internet speed and slow loading for some websites.

I haven’t had internet speed problems for our actual connection, but some download servers are definitely slower, while others seem normal (which makes me think it’s not really my service). Also pings are higher, especially playing online games.

Just wait till the kids are out of school for the summer and they aren’t on zoom calls all day. That plus Comcast adding their bandwidth caps back will fix things

I observe slowdowns from the normal measly 5 Mb in my building to around 3 Mb (per speed test) during peak hours. It's noticeable when trying to watch a video or download a large file. I've been using Free Download Manager to make the best of a slow connection and usually wait til midnight to download larger files.

Didn't notice any changes with speed with Telia. Seems to work totally fine. I guess they don't oversell or have a good infrastructure.

I have no noticable slowdown but small disruptions every day throughout the day since the pandemic.

Old cables? I see US having lots of internet companies, here in Brazil we have few: 4/5 with presence in all states

My Speedtest results over WIFI for my cable 250/25 Mbps subscription:

Speedtest is not much reliable because it'll often connect to a local server of your ISP which give you the illusion of higher download speed than you may actually get on your daily browsing.
This is what I get on Speedtest by default. Lol, this is the download speed I get if I download something from my ISP's FTP servers, never on regular browsing.

fast.com is reliable and gives you the accurate speed. This is what my poor internet speed actually is,

Okay, thanks, I added my fast.com score.
Something not right there, I get a better upload than my ISP gives me

No slower but ping..

 

[JohnR]

Ping has increased in last day or two from 30ms to around 70ms, no change in download speed

 

[Brahman]

I used to get around 98 Mbps down and 90 to 95 Mbps up but now it has gone down.
