when i signed up tm gave me d-link wbr-2300. i still have the box, lol. if i remember correctly, they only started giving out wdr4300 much later.

mine speed start slowing at 10pm then hit 1mbps or 0 speed after 12am untill next day like 12pm then then the speed back on too 800 mbps again

damn that is a very ancient router pre 2010 . silver box. no antenna.

wdr4300 is like early 2010s if i remember correctly

is a wifi 6 router i just uploaded the modem n router , did not touch any settings.

when the speed drop is tgt with lan & wifi will take screenshot with speed test if happen again tonight

It is definitely TM issue because I can work around it using VPN by directing my traffic through different nodes. But not everyone wants to spend more on VPN, so it is not a solution for most people. It is also possible to tell which node the congestion happens when you use traffic routing tools to observe.

Also, if it is a home router issue, then the slow performance will happen either consistently all the time, or randomly. But if it is happening at only certain hours while other hours are fine and the pattern is consistent, then it is TM routing issue.

now that i think about it, i did run into some routing issues a few times when trying to access international sites, especially twitter. if i remember correctly, it was related to an undersea cable issue. vpn worked as a good workaround.

as for whether this can be blamed on tm, i'm not entirely sure.

and for ts, if you're referring to slow torrent speeds, it’s possible that tm throttles torrent speeds during certain times of the day. i’d recommend using a vpn, and really, you should always use one when torrenting.

no wonder why i keep getting slow sometime

the last time I switched to Unifi from Streamyx, the guy that installed the wiring told me out of 100+ units in my condo area here, I'm the 6th unit that bought it. That time got promo offer but have to hold for 2 years, and it was before COVID time. He also told me that if more people install Unifi in my condo area, be prepared to get slower connection.

After 2022 COVID, I saw a lot of people switched to Unifi already, if I turn on WIFI now and can definitely see all the SSIDs with @Unifi at the back. Although I don't feel any differences la since I don't use until 100MBPS.

After posting this unifi gave me peace for 6 days normal speed now that low download speed is back
