I appreciate everyone’s replies and opinions but let me say this…
I’ve been dealing with IPTV, VPN’s, FIRESTICKS, KODI and a bunch of other streaming related things for many years.
This situation I’m dealing with is not my norm…
My average Mbps speed is around 350 on all my devices throughout my home w/o VPN, and around 80 while using VPN. Been that way for past 3 years or so.
This drop from 350 to 33 is outside my norm.
Don’t think it’s my streaming hardware because it’s the same hardware I’ve been using to get the numbers I’ve described.
All my devices are now showing these numbers I’ve reported.
This drop in speed is WAYYYYYY off my norm.
Going to swap out my Xfinity router/modem
over the weekend to see if that will return things to my normal.
