topic Internet Speed Inconsistent in Nest Wifi https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Nest-Wifi/Internet-Speed-Inconsistent/m-p/580074#M50442 <P>Hi,</P><P>I am experiencing a strange issue where my network speed seems to be dependant on load. I have 1GB from Virgin, with the hub in modem mode and Google WiFi and I am experiencing this both wired and wireless.</P><P>If I am downloading something to my Steam Deck wirelessly, phone wirelessly or my desktop which is hardwired I seem to average around 50-150mb/s, however as soon as I run a speed test on Google WiFi via the Google Home App all of my download speeds jump up to 600-1gb depending on wired or wireless. It will sit at this level for a few minutes before dropping down to around 200 for another few minutes before dropping back to the original speeds. So to download anything I find myself having to run speed tests to keep the workload and speeds up.</P><P>Anyone ever experienced something similar? Is there a "bandwidth saving" mode for Virgin or the modem I am missing? I will also ask this question of the Google forums.</P><P>Thank you,</P> Thu, 25 Jan 2024 09:34:04 GMT SHOUTING_PIRATE 2024-01-25T09:34:04Z Internet Speed Inconsistent https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Nest-Wifi/Internet-Speed-Inconsistent/m-p/580074#M50442 <P>Hi,</P><P>I am experiencing a strange issue where my network speed seems to be dependant on load.
