I have been experiencing incredibly slow internet this past week, so I just did a speed test.
These are the results of the speed test I just took today, compared to the test when I first signed up. Quite a difference! What's causing this? Test results can be delayed by up to 2 mi...
- I am connected directly to the modem. I disabled a BrowseSec plug-in that I had on Firefox and ran 3 tests. Dramatic difference. I'm not sure if that is connected to the Digital Ocean thing or not.

- Aha! That explains things. BrowseSec is a VPN and VPNs will definitely reduce your speeds by 50%-70%. Turn VPN off and your speeds should be normal or better.

Yes!
And I was starting to eyeball my aspen trees on the south side..."I didn't think you guys were tall enough to be a problem...... I may have to whack you!" But it was all ME downloading an "innocent" looking add-on for "browser security". I've got to go apologize to those trees now....
