Just google which keeps bringing me to pages about things I already know, so I’m hoping the PCF Brain Trust can help me avoid rolling around with my network aimlessly in hopes of fixing the problem.

). Would either of those be as frequent as say 40-50% of the time I'm on wifi that late? I have no idea but seems like a lot.

FTR it's extremely slow when I'm playing a mobile game (Blitz WoT) where my ping is usually 30-120 then during those hours it jumps to 200-3400. That being said, pornhub works fine all the time

Joined Aug 21, 2018 Messages 339 Reaction score 433 Location canada do you have pc or laptops running windows 10? there’s a sneaky little feature in there where windows uses your computer as a server to torrent updates to other users on the internet. it saturates your upload so badly that the devices on your network cannot reply to the other end and say “yes,i’m receiving the packets” which results in a retransmit loop in your download side. symptoms are typically 180-400ms ping and 10% or less of usual download. go into settings, update/security, delivery optimization,advanced- turn off feature. even if it’s set to local only.Create an account or login to comment
