Improving internet speeds Anonymous 2017-08-13 04:14:51 Post No. 61877272 [Report]

I have a very shitty connection with 2.2-2.5 MBit/s down and 1,5 MBit/s upstream. For me, watching Youtube over 480p is justi mpossible and when I upload 4K videos it takes 1-2 days.

My router says I'm getting 3.4 MBit/s down, 1.9 up. I know there is a slight overhead, but not by 50 %. So I guess there might be an option for improvement.

I use a Vodafone (Huawei) EasyBox 904 xDSL. It handled my previous 50 MBit VDSL connection with full speed and its rated up to 100 MBit/s. Is this a shitty router? I never saw a reason to buy another expensive one as this thing just works and it even has dualband Wifi.

I wonder why it doesn't give me more speed. Has anyone experience with a similar case?

I'll probably get LTE Hybrid by next year but the contract still runs so I have to hold out. Currently there is no other options to use download managers which I can remote control in order to download up to 600 GB a month when I download 24/7, I only turn it off when I need the bandwith for other tasks (Its normal to wait 10 or 20 seconds to load a website and I download videos in the highest quality even if it takes hours).

Are you in Australia or something? I'm paying 45 bucks per month for 20 MBit/sec down, 1 MBit/sec up, no data cap, and I feel like I'm getting raked over the coals.

No, Germany (Yes New-Africa, the colonies strike back). I pay 32 € for this. Of course no datacaps.

While other European countries and the US has affordable LTE contracts, my 3rd world country only has one LTE contract without caps, Magenta Hybrid. Most contracts are 60 € for 30 GB and reduction to 32 or 56 KBit/s after that.

I live rural so there is no other option than LTE.
