Speed Issue - Seems fine after reboot but then reduces to 1.5Mbps.

Hi,

Sorry if this has been raised before, have been searching the internet but was unable to see anything relating to it.

Have got a 400MB FTTP connection and normally SAB downloads around 30Mbps, over the last couple of days if I reboot the PC it will download at these speeds, but after a while if I add another NZB it will only download at around 1.5Mbps.

Have a connection to Eweka and got a month subscription to Frugal just in case there was an issue with Eweka.

Currently showing my Internet Bandwidth as 1.7MB/s

Have just rebooted and it shows

Downloaded the 10GB test file in around 6 minutes.

Not sure if the Fibre company is traffic shaping or not. Has anyone come across this before?

Thanks in advance.

So, when it is slow, what does https://fast.com/ tell you? And what is the download speed of the 1 GB testfile on https://speed.hetzner.de/ ?

This way, you can determine whether it's in SABnzbd/newsserver/specific-news-throttling, or your system/connection/ISP in general

Looks like it is my ISP. SwishFibre.

Thanks.

With a VPN it downloads at a decent speed, without at around 1.6MBps.
