5G broadband speeds plummeted

[talktohardwick]

For 4 months after getting Three 5G home broadband I was consistently getting 500mb+ download and 50mb+ upload. 

For the last few weeks I have been consistently getting 30-50mb download and 5-6mb upload. Is this going to continue? It's not worth the money if it's going to be so slow in future and I can get a better broadband solution.

I'd agree with that if it went back up to where it was at random times of the day but I tried it at 5am the other day and it maxed out at 70mb

There has been talk on the ISP review website about Three apparently going into power-saving mode overnight - turning-off bands or cells. Maybe @JonathanB would like to confirm if this is actually the case ?

I have the same issue I get around 400mbps in the morning, and then after 10am it’s less than 80 sometimes lower than 35 , I think more people are using it and the towers cannot cope

@talktohardwick 

I wonder if the solution might be here :-

FYI : IPv6 Prevented VPN Connection - Three Community - 14851

Please let us know how you get on.

Could be a problem with the tower, too many people registering on the tower, 3 have reduced the bandwidth due to a problem. The list goes on.
