I've recently got the 1.6Gbps Vodafone package installed, and when I do speedtests most of the time it gives me full speed (actually sometimes, more than what I pay for). But i've been testing various other places. I have been testing using Hetzner the German hosting company and each time I test their speed test files I see an initial higher speed (still not amazing) but then it gets lower and lower and lower as the speed test progresses.
Is this throttling? Is vodafone doing traffic shaping on international data? Traffic shaping? I've tried all the Hetzner speed test data centres and they all do this to me. I never noticed this on my previous internet connections, but they were not fast anyway.
It's a bit odd to be seeing < 100mbit when you have a 1.6Gbps connection and I know Hetzner has a lot of bandwidth
Here's a quick screenshot of the ethernet throughput in task manager. Machine is plenty fast enough and has a 10Gbps card in it. This is me doing a speed test by downloading the 10GB.BIN file from two different Hetzner data centres. Initially hits close to 500mbit, then drops to below 100. Each and every time, in any data centre.
