I have been a customer of BeFibre since February on their 900Mbps package and in the last few weeks I have noticed that my download speeds have been very slow, as low as 8Mbps on occasion. This happens at all times of the day and on every day of the week. Even at 7am on a Sunday morning, the speeds have been noticeably slow. Ping times also went up to 20ms but are now back to normal at 6ms.
Tonight I did a rudimentary speed test by downloading the Arch Linux ISO from the University of Kent's Mirror Service. On the BeFibre connection I got a steady 7MB/s while using one of the ProtonVPN's free Dutch server the speed only went as slow as 50MB/s.
The speed from a free VPN thrashing the speed from a pure ISP connection is not right. Could BeFibre be throttling speeds on its service or could this be a issue with one of their subnets?
(It's been a long time since I last posted, the last time I was here I was with the original BE ISP!)
