Hi internet sifu....

I think got a problem with my Astro broadband... recently they offer me a and upgrade to a 500mbps package....but i feel abit strange, particularly in night time usually start from 8pm to to 1am, my download speed seem like dropping alot...so ive in a few night lately i do my own experiment....my finding was it qas fine with astro fibre own speedtest



How ever in other speedtest like Fast.com, even Unifi KL Server the speed drop so much from my 500mbps package that i subscribe to....not only that....i can see the download speed from most of the website also drop accordingly....it feels like the astro fibre speedtest speed 500mbps front the astro fibre speedtest site means nothing....like they throttle or capped my speed in the peak hours from 8pm to 12pm daily....do any of you guys have similar problem with me....i did report to the twice....thier technician also come...but seems the problem still persist...

Test with wired also the same result....wifi with 5ghz infront of the router...channel also already change to less populated channel....i dont think this is the wifi problem because on daytime these no problem whatso ever... everything just nice...only after 8pm orward until 12pm the problem persist....seems like astro capped or throttle my connection during peak hours...Or CGNET congestion on something...

Wonder if any astro fibre user here got the same problem..you can test by do FAST.com speed test starting 9pm until 12am... usually my problem start 830pm onward...

Can i terminate my astro fibre without paying the penalty because they cant deliver the promise speed to me....i just recently renew my contract after they offer me 500mbps plan to make me stay...so i got 2 years of contact....but if they cant deliver the speed that they promise can i terminate the contract without paying the penalty....

I've noticed that my internet download speeds drop significantly every night during peak hours, specifically between 8:30 PM and 11:30 PM.

* When i run a speed test to the Astro Fibre server, my speed is normal and reflects your 500 Mbps subscription plan.

* However, when i test my speed using other servers (like nPerf, Google, TM, and Fast.com), i see a significant speed drop, often falling below 100 Mbps, and sometimes even below 1 Mbps for downloads from other websites.



"I've tested this with both a wired connection and Wi-Fi 6 on my PC, iPhone, and Android phone, and the results are all almost identical. I don't believe the issue lies with my devices or equipment, as they all perform normally outside of the peak hours I mentioned."

The thing that boggles my mind was, why this is happening right on the dot 8.30PM until about 11:30pm every night.... Its feel like its a schedule throttling, some kind of network shapping by astro fibre to my connection....if there's device or equipment or hardware problem, why other than the time period that i mention above, i dont have these problem, everything works fast and smoothly....

What do you guys think actually happen...?

Thinking going to TM as i got a feeling that astro dont have the capacity to deliver what they promised...

@joshhd

I use your post earlyer to ask for Public IP for RM5.00 per month

But i think, i got fixed IP instead, not public ip....why i say this because when ever i restart my router my ip was always the same, how even when i check with whatsmyip website, clearly the ip it show is different from my router internet ip, which suggest its not a public ip right....

When i restart my router, yes the ip stay the same. The whatsmyip website also stay the same, although its stay the same but its different from my router IP vs the website IP...

So what do you guys think? Izzit public ip or still private ip with fix ip number

So the question really do Astro Fibre have Public IP option, their agent also seems confuse with the term private Public and Fixed ip..
