I've noticed a drop in speed regardless of what time it is. And tonight I've noticed that my speeds outside of Vocus' network is just terrible.

Using my gaming desktop which is hardwired and am using the supplied NF18AC to test(normally I use my ASUS RT68U) and 1 PC to rule out any other devices sapping it away.

What's happened here?

I was like you - achieving incredibly slow speeds on Steam and there is no reason my PC would be running slow. I use NVMe, have a high end Ryzen build etc.

 

Running that command at the bottom of that post actually fixed most of my issues. This is running to a NZ steam cache:

 

 

I'm not saying this is your issue - but worth a shot?
