Yes and no. You might be connected to WiFi, have no Internet and still not be an ISP issue, if you are using a third party DNS that fails. Or if your router is under heavy load and can't process all packets. Or if there is excessive interference in the specific Wi-Fi band in use.

That's to say there's no definitive answer to anything, without investigating the root cause.

But really, the majority's of problems seem to lie on the client side

Hey all, thanks for the responses i think ill focus more on the router than the ISP (although ill still take the opportunity to shop around while I have the opportunity, at least to just save money) and it was really reassuring to hear from the person in charge of Intune.

We’ve been having issues with congestion and dropped connections at night and it’s the same price we are paying 2degrees currently for half the bandwidth, and we have the correct router.

Have you tuned your TCP settings? if not, use TCP Optimizer; it's free software.

" upload and download large files" - Linux ISO's.... ;)

If you have more than one user using torrents, then yes, you will see poor performance when using the internet, as most people don't configure their torrent client to allow for some headroom for general internet use etc. Torrent clients will quite happily flood out an internet connection, causing poor performance for everyone else.

If thats the case, maybe invest in a shared "home server" thats used for the file transfers, and has some rate limiting on it.

Cbd only. Goes from the old defense building next to mcds and loops around the cbd then over to the arena then to the library

oh.... I thought it stretched a bit further than that to the fringes, avoiding local LFC charges is the best way to get a good deal on your broadband

Even with limiting, the port exhaustion is a problem from all the attempted connections.

I have many instances of deluge running, and its all smooth as it seems that the pathetic write speeds of my computers they run on are a natural throttle for anything. Even when I download to the SSD I never notice any problems with normal web stuff, or youtube on the TV or streaming music etc. Limiting the number of connections to work around an ISP with shoddy cgnat or a junk router will really hurt performance.

i’m in a large flat with a few people who upload and download large files, and there have been lots of complaints of dropped connection at night time, i’m currently looking at upgrading the network and $5 more a month for double the speed seems reasonable. I upgraded the router to a mesh one to see if that will fix it and i’ve got a few weeks to figure stuff out, i am mostly looking at if Intune is a good ISP regardless of speed

Based on your comments, I'm 99% sure this is a problem with your local network and insufficient hardware rather than an ISP problem. Meaning a 99% chance it won't be helped at all by changing ISP.

Unless they are currently behind CGNAT and get out from under a bad implementation of it.

What router are you currently using right now?
