Hello!
I don't retain speed test data for too long, but do regular speed tests every 12 hours from my router. In the few years I've been living here, intermittent connection drops aside, I've noticed a steady drop in speed. See my latest speed test data as an example:
* Late August this year I was hitting about 40mbps down and 13 mbps up on average.
* Late September, this dropped to about 32 down.
* Late October, this dropped further to about 18 down & 7 up.
* Nov 2nd - 8th it increased slightly to 25 up & 10 down, then after a brief cut out it fell back down to about 20 up & 5.5 down
* Since Nov 16th it has dropped further to 13 down and 5.4 up.
Regardless of numbers, it's now noticeably affecting the household's internet connection performance - browsing (sometimes), gaming, and streaming has been noticeably laggier & it's affecting my job working from home.
Throughout this time, my hardware hasn't changed (Dreytek vigor 130 modem into Unifi USG). We've not added any new major devices, made any network configuration changes, or started just permanently downloading or anything.
FWIW I did see a BT van pull on our street for some investigation work a couple of days ago, a really lovely guy who was investigating connection issues in the street possibly caused by a neighbour's fence, where he did some work and left. The final drop in speeds roughly coincides with this, but I can't confirm it's a cause at all.
Is there something happening on our street, am I being throttled for some reason, or is something on my end somehow causing this degradation?
