Some traffic seems slower than others
I noticed during my trial of purefiber that some services I use appear to be slower than when I use those same services on another internet connection. Does telus throttle or change the speed of some...
- Thanks for your reply, I am not sure what was slowing things down, I may have jumped the gun reporting a speed problem. It seems to have cleared up after 24h.
I think it was the specific servers I had connected to while testing the VPN and other protocol speeds.
Keep in mind that the measured/experienced speed will be the slowest component of the end-to-end trip. If the server is busy then it may not be keeping up with the full capability of your Internet connection. Similarly, as an example, if your client device is on WiFi then it may be slower (at times) than both the Internet connection and the server. WiFi speeds depends on many external factors that can change over time like other connected devices on the same WiFi, noise from neighboring WiFi on the same channel, etc.
