Smarty 5G traffic slows down after a while - looks like throttling... something else?
I’m writing about persistent problems with my data speeds on a Smarty Unlimited data plan. I use my 5G mobile to tether at home. This works very well and download speeds can be as high as 500 MBp...
Hey
The issue is that smarty changes IP every couple of minutes. This can make apps and services believe a dos attack is coming from a device. You can easily replicate this, download Google earth and put it in 3d zoom in and out and watch the percentage stop loading than all your internet slows to zero. It goes normal after a while but if you use a VPN like the one Google has built in the problem does not occur. It is NOT a signal problem congestion is a problem on all networks but this issue is as explained.
