The #1 culprit is insufficient infrastructure to handle everyone rolling at max all at once (in fact you never roll at max except in speed tests, which only use a standard "beep", or single-cell data if you prefer, and therefore can't interfere much or be bothered with typical traffic so basically, it's useless to gauge your actual speed) hence the prioritization of commercial/institutional traffic over residential service during hours of highest demand. Every ISP throttles home customers, for a variety of reasons. Throttling is not the same as blowing a customer off the Net altogether (spammers take note), it's choking one's connection speed. Is this Bell throttling my internet because I'm demanding too much bandwidth? If so, is there something I can do on my end to prevent this from happening or should I give Bell a call? Or is this a computer issue (I highly doubt it though as this wasn't an issue before moving to my current place).Īny help is greatly appreciated, much thanks in advance! I can confirm it's not my internet speed because I have a CAT6 and CAT8 cable and tested both using an online internet speed test, and both results came in with negligible differences (~940 download, ~450 upload). I've never had these issues before moving to my current place, even when I was with Rogers on a slower internet speed.
AM I GETTING THROTTLED DOWNLOAD
It happens even when I'm just on Discord chatting but my internet will again pop in and out and the download will never be smooth. I'm not even doing any demanding multitasking this time around. I would also like to mention that this happens when I'm downloading games on Steam. It then comes back after like a minute, but I just close everything other than my game and Discord so I'm not affected moving forward. My desktop also pops up a notification saying I lost internet connection.
It varies, but usually within the next 10 - 20 minutes, my internet gets disconnected, as evident by my game losing connection, my stream freezing, and my Discord voice chat no longer working. I'm usually on Discord as I'm playing with my friends during this time, and some times might even go as far as streaming what I'm watching (through Discord) so my friends can all watch along.
AM I GETTING THROTTLED TV
I've realized this only happens in a very specific scenario - only when playing an online video game while watching something (sports, TV show, movie, etc.) on my second monitor simultaneously. To preface the issue before I paint the picture, my internet cuts out briefly (like for 1 minute) before getting restored. I'm currently living in a condo in downtown Toronto with Gigabit fibre internet unlimited bandwidth from Bell. Hello, just looking for some help here on a very specific scenario.
