Tis the Season

Lots of people with new devices that aren't satellite-internet-proofed or don't know that they're even using the internet (or they do, just not how much). Every year at this time the system gets terribly overloaded at peak hours. #patience

    It's very noticeable , and sometimes congestion happens during the bonus bytes time too.

      Yup. The other day I had an htaccess file stall out while being uploaded to the website... leaving it completely unprotected. Not good.

    It's definitely noticeable, that's for sure. 

     

    Oddly enough, though, I was getting great speeds on Wednesday evening.  I was setting up my Pi4 as an access point (just for fun) and I ran a couple of tests through it using my laptop.  I wasn't signed in so I don't have a record of it, but it was nearly full speed, which was quite the opposite of what I expected, especially on that day and at that time.  I then tried it while directly connected to the HT2000W and it was the same.

        By the way, the system doesn't seem to be accepting code. I tried an iframe and no dice.
