throttling?

[iAsuno]

So I went from about 250 kbps and now I'm down to 60ish. I don't know much about networking and such but is this throttling?

Do you have a data limit from your ISP? 

 

It could also be maintenance that causes the ISP to run at a lower speed or cable work that caused you to be re routed

[iAsuno]

IIRC no. we have an unlimited data. just checked. yup, says unlimited.

It might just be some work on the network. If it continues I recommend you contacting your ISP and ask them about what is going on.

 

How long has it been slower than normal?

just now and a few days ago when i didn't really care cuz we didn'tdo that much. 

 

but i was surprised my speed went up to 600kbps while downloading on origin but just for a short time. at least that's what it said.

How much speed does the ISP promise you?

2mbps

my down and up speed are almost the same. it seems up speed is not affected.

2mbps

Then you should be around 200-250 MB/s download. Of course we have to calculate for around 10% overhead. I can only really tell you that if you are getting lower than advertised speeds you should contact your ISP and tell them about it. Maybe then can even tell you whats wrong. You shouldn't be throttled if you have a unlimited data plan

It sounds like your ISP is updating or otherwise maintaining their system. Up and down servers are not always the same thing.

just called. they were having problems on my area. this sucks.

just found out that my ISP has 5GB data cap everyday. they throttle you when you exceed :/

That's really crappy. I hate how companies have the whole "unlimited" package then throw in annoyances like that... At least now you know why it's been throttled.

Yeah but I still get slow speeds today which should've been back to normal since it resets daily.
