Hello guys, im new to the LinusTechTips Forum and i have been having a bunch of strange internet problems lately. It suddenly has gone from 10mbps to 2-4mbps. But the wierd part is when i reset my internet it goes back to 10mbps and stays for about 2 minutes. I will start up battlefield 4/Speed Tester and use them for about 2 minutes then my internet goes to crap. I have tried seeing if something on any computer in my household is using up all the bandwidth all of a sudden and none seem to be doing that. Besides that i dont know of anything else that could do effect my internet that much. I am a gamer and love to watch youtube videos/twitch streams while i game. I have been wondering if im being throttled by Century Link because i have used so much data.If so could this be a sign of being throttled? I could sure use some help and would love it if you helped out.

 

Thanks- KruNight

i'm not so much of an internet expert but, it sounds like either you have used your monthly allowance of data or the network is under maintenance or you could be getting throttled my 3 best guesses. how long has this been going on? (sorry i couldn't be much more help.)

Wireless is going to be problematic for any number of reasons.

 

Are you using AC or N?

Is it a PCIE network card or USB?

How far away are you from your router?

How many antenna does your card have, if any?

Do you live in a house, or apartment complex?

Then it must be a problem with my ISP, my parents computer is connected via lan and they have complained about it also, thank you very much kind sir
