If you enabled encryption in your WiFi, expect the speed to drop.
You may test this via your notebook connectivity - cable vs WiFi.

Only on high end WiFi routers would you expect these problems to be addressed.

Want to ask whether speed drop can be due to the modem itself ?
Performed direct connection with the modem itself and the speed I'm getting is less than 20% of my subscribed speed.

I did the test without going through the router, It is a direct connection to the Time's modem itself. I am not using stock router but that's irrelevant coz not connecting to router while performing this speed test. It is a cable connection (using a cat 5e cable) from the modem to the laptop. I used to get full speed and now speed drops to 20% (or less) of subscribed speed. Been happening for months already.

Made a report to Time and seeking feedback from the members here on what're the possible problems.


Thanks for the reply.
The test was not done using Wifi. (WiFi router in use is ASUS, not stock) It's wired connection. I'm aware that WiFi cause interference (and speed loss) but to get over 80%-90% speed loss via a direct connection is crazy. FlushDNS no impact to improve connection.In fact, the results is now showing receiving 10% of my supposed subscribed speed.
