SM961 Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 So, during a speed test, my speeds dropped about half of 100 Mbps, why? Either connected to my router or not,
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 1, 2019 Administrators Posted June 1, 2019 I can't see it in your pictures, do you see the same with speedtest.net? Were any other devices pulling bandwidth when you were testing?

Were any other devices pulling bandwidth when you were testing? Yes, it's the same on both speed tests sites. The speed test starts fine then the speed will drop to about 30 Mbps and then will go back up to 100 Mbps.
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 1, 2019 Administrators Posted June 1, 2019 Oh I see, that is normal. Speed tests are based on averages, it won't run at 100 the entire time, it will go above and below and average out to 100.

Administrators Netduma Alex Posted June 3, 2019 Administrators Posted June 3, 2019 You'll only buffer a lot during a movie if your connection speed changes during the stream.

This is the biggest problem that I have right now even at 70/70 will buffer even more so I keep At 99/99. I don't understand why 100 Mbps will make my stream buffer. Will more speed fix this buffering?
Administrators Netduma Alex Posted June 4, 2019 Administrators Posted June 4, 2019 So when you say buffering, you mean the movie pausing and loading? The only reason I could think this was happening on such a fast connection would be if your speed kept fluctuating. Have you tried using PingPlotter and seeing if your ping is stable?
SM961 Posted June 4, 2019 Author Posted June 4, 2019 Yes, it pauses and then loading again then it plays for a few minutes and continue pausing and loading. I still don't know how to use PingPlotter.
Administrators Netduma Alex Posted June 4, 2019 Administrators Posted June 4, 2019 Oh sorry I didn't realise we'd asked before. What device are you connecting from? Do you have access to a PC or just a phone?

Administrators Netduma Alex Posted June 4, 2019 Administrators Posted June 4, 2019 iOS or Android? If iOS you could just use Pingplotter for iOS and take a screenshot: https://www.pingplotter.com/download/ios

Administrators Netduma Alex Posted June 4, 2019 Administrators Posted June 4, 2019 Doesn't matter, just switch to the free version.
