Anyone else have internet that is normally incredibly stable going down nonstop right now? I got woken up yesterday morning to reset the router and spent the next few hours with our service going in and out and then I got woken up again this morning because it was out again. Now it's back up but the upload speeds aren't steady. I've had tests ranging from .5Mbps to 38Mbps and it usually tests as 42Mbps.
It has been a very stressful time with my male roommate's temper exploding every time his work VPN connection was interrupted. Female roommate is a lot more understanding of the fact that things happen...
Yes, but still usable. My upload/download speeds during the day (work from home) was around 300 Mb/s symmetric before the self-quarantines began, but now that everyone's home wasting bandwidth on Netflix or Youtube it's down to around 20 Mb/s down and double that up.
Considering that the EU had to ask Netflix and Google to stop streaming HD there to conserve bandwidth, none of us should be surprised we're seeing constraints here, too.
Edit: This might also be a problem on my laptop. Just tested right now on my XPS13 and it's 62 down/50 up, while my Macbook Pro did 90 down/110 up. Still a fraction of its former glory but holding up decent enough to the stress.
