I'm experiencing issues regarding downloading Disney+/Netflix shows and movies during my "Bonus Zone" time for watching offline. I've run several internet speed tests this morning on testmy.net: https://testmy.net/compID/48068080137636 The reported speeds seem high enough to warrant quick download speeds, but this morning I downloaded a 23 minute (86MB) episode of a kids show and it took 15 minutes (~100kbps). I saw this article this morning on the community forums, installed a VPN, and tried the download again. I'm continuing to get very poor download speeds from Netflix and Disney+ even with the VPN active. This problem also does not appear to be scoped to my hardware. I'm experiencing identical slowness on both an 8th gen iPad running most recent software and a onePlus 6 running latest android updates. I can download other files quite quickly. For example I downloaded a 100 MB application from the Apple App Store in ~25 seconds (~4 mbps) So my scenario is: - testmy.net reports fast internet download speeds - Disney+ & Netflix download files at ~100kbps - The issue manifests in an identical manner across devices - Other file types appear to download without any kind of attenuated speeds - I don't understand the discrepancy between reported download speeds and experienced download speeds for files coming from streaming services like Disney+ & Netflix. Can anyone provide reasons why this might be and what steps I might take to fix this?
