Hi,
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.
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.
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.
Thank you,
