Speed dropped overnight

Kremmen — Thu, 27 Oct 2022 05:43:17 GMT

Morning

My internet speed has dropped overnight from ~24Mbps to ~11Mbps to 15Mbps in various checks

Can you have a look please.

I have had some manual disconnections a few days ago, that was me decorating.

Update:

Further tests are now showing as low as 5Mbps !

I have rebooted my router and checked the speed on a Ethernet connected PC and a 5G connected Tablet.

...... and my 24Mbps speed has come back ~ 07:10

Update:

After investigation this turned out to be Microsoft Edge.

For some reason an update needed Edge as it wouldn't work via Opera. Edge held open a connection sucking up bandwidth.

I manually killed off the process and speed came back at that time.
