anyone knows if its m1 practise to throttle speed? Yesterday 11pm i ran speed test, it was ~200mb up/download. Today at 1pm its around 500mb up/download. I signed the 1Gbps fibre, is this normal?
Initially when the contract just started 2yrs back, the speed is up to 800mb download which i thought was acceptable and didnt really monitor.
I think all ISP throttle their traffic despite their claims that they don't. I normally don't have any problems with M1 even during peak hours where I can still reliably get about 200+ to 300+ Mbps for my 500Mbps plan. My previous experience with VQ 1Gbps is that I lose connection completely, or I get throttled to between 200+ to 500+ Mbps. Even during normal non peak hours, I am getting capped at about 700+ Mbps.
For your case, are you getting this speed on wired or wireless connection? Best way is to test with a proper LAN connection as there can be factors that will affect wireless performance, like other wireless interference, etc. If you are getting such low speed even on wired LAN, then best to drop them an email to check it out.
