Lagging and throttle
I don't understand why at certain times the internet is great and then by the evening like 5 or 7 pm it gets so slow that we can not watch tv or my son can not play his games online. I do a speed tes...
I understand the peak hours but after they fixed the 2 towers everything was good for a few months and then the issue started again with the slow speed to a 2 mbps and at times .8 mbps and then jumps to 10 mbps struggling to keep some kind of speed. Rebooting helps only for short time like 10 minutes tops. I had Comcast and it was great except for their price going up which is why I went with T-Mobile because they advertised there was no lag and their speed was unbeatable lol yeah up to a certain time. But if I have to go back to Comcast so be it and at least I don't to keep rebooting and restarting 2 to 3 times a day.
As a former cell phone engineer if you want to call that sell site I installed the very first five cell sites in the state of Indiana so this was back when it was singular and GT mobile net they slow the stuff down because then you have to use more data if you've noticed over the last five six seven years the data packages have gotten smaller but the price is gone up you exceed a certain data limit and they charge you more money that's the only And I stress the only reason that everything is slowed down has nothing to do with capacity they have far more capacity than they'll ever use right now and I know that for a fact. Not too long ago when data was transferred over the Airways through your cell site your internet provider whatever they compress the data they made the data packets much smaller than they they are now now nothing's compressed oh but it's going to speed your stuff up no it's not it's going to slow it down that's what we'll bog the system down they are no longer compressing data when they transmitted and when you receive it it's not compressed so if they are intentionally slowing everything down for one reason to charge you more money
