wollyka wroteIt seems there is an awful trend. Speedtest shows speeds less than 1 Mbps (on a 4 Mbps plan) from noon till 6 or 7 pm where it will be back to normal! The reason is congestion! My upload is faster than my download lol
0.56/0.8
I told you do not trust the Speedtest.net site, it's inaccurate. It now shows me this as always but reality of the matter is that I cannot watch YouTube in 240p. Also I am now on 2mbps 45gb plan so FUP shouldn't be.
After careful testing, I have noticed the following. After using nearly 1.7gb during peak hours ISP, in this case IDM, starts limiting all single threaded downloads, video/audio streaming services to a crawl.
Therefore, when I set IDM to 16 threads download goes at 2mbps stable, anything from single thread to 8 varies between 0.8mbps to 1mbps for me that is. For some reason it has to be 16 threads. May vary per user.
