SM961 Posted June 1, 2019 Share 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, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 1, 2019 Administrators Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The speed test starts fine then the speed will drop to about 30 Mbps and then will go back up to 100 Mbps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 1, 2019 Administrators Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Alex Posted June 3, 2019 Administrators Share Posted June 3, 2019 You'll only buffer a lot during a movie if your connection speed changes during the stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Alex Posted June 4, 2019 Administrators Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
