Posted July 25, 2017 hello from italy guys!! I'll try to explain my problem in the best possible way. it all started about 2/3 months ago. I have FTTC connection ( 60mbit/sec real ) with my ISP ( Fastweb ), every time i watch youtube or use any other streaming services, after a while, usually 30/40 minutes, the network significally slows down ( i'm even not able to check my email ) both on ethernet or wifi. This also happens on my cell ( over wifi , not 4g lte ) Normaly i can solve the problem by restarting my laptop ( windows 10 pro, i5 4200u, 8gb ram , 250 gb ssd, radeon r5 m230 ). the modem i have is proprietary of my Isp. i use chrome/firefox/opera/safari/edge....i tried them all. the firewall inside the modem is off. i tried switch on and off the modem, it won't change anything. i called my isp...is all good from their side. my roommates do not have the same problem....we share the same connection. what the hell might be the problem? bad network card? pc temps? i don't know, it's frustrating. thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

Posted July 25, 2017 If you have Steam installed, it likes to automatically download updates in the background. This is always my problem. Chances are, if you're both having this connection, then it's on your provider's end. Do me a favor and post a picture of your speedtest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verizon has been throttling Netflix traffic, seems the USA's "Best" network cant handle unlimited data. LOL. I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.
