Has anyone else seen problems with the Three network over the last couple of days? I'm seeing speeds drop to about a quarter of what I would usually get, even early in the morning (6am), and sometimes I'm unable to get web pages to load at all - all this despite the router showing satisfactory signal strength, SNR etc. The oddest thing is that if I use a VPN the problems go away - speeds back to normal, sites loading instantly. I'm using a connection over VPN to post this.
I've tried the obvious stuff like restarting the router and switching the DNS to Google (8.8.8.8) or Cloudfare (1.1.1.1) - it makes no difference. I have noticed that trying to run a test on speedtest.net often fails completely, where as fast.com and speedof.me still work if I can get them to load at all.
I was expecting to see some comments here if it was a general problem, but if there were any then I missed them. On the other hand downdetector.com is showing an increase in complaints about Three so maybe it isn't just me. The Three status checker says all is well, but in my experience that doesn't mean very much.
