Downloads fail just before completion (SMARTY/Three UK)

I am having an ongoing problem with downloads that end early are incomplete/corrupt.

The most noticeable site this happens with is GitHub, so I cannot clone a repo or download a release.

In the past I have reported this elsewhere (see this post at /r/SmartyMobile) and was told "Three are currently investigating a core network problem with the 'major incidents' team about this", and that it had be ongoing for many years. Indeed you only have to do a Google to see people having this problem with downloads on everything from PC updates to PlayStation game downloads.

I got some improvements matching the MTU on my Mac with my Huawei router. But my most reliable workaround is to use a VPN, then the same downloads then complete without any problem.

Does anybody know any more about this?

- SMARTY Unlimited Data
 
Cannot help at all, but I get this on one of my computers which uses an old "7 Day Shop" el'Cheapo Chinese USB WiFi dongle. Never understood what caused it as LAN cable works fine. Always seems to be right close to the end of a download. It's not on Three either, so nothing like your issue, so not actually sure why I am mentioning it
