Rogers' restrictions?
Rogers' restrictions?
If it's having trouble reaching 480p, the test indicates even stronger throttling than what the speed check shows, suggesting the provider is selectively limiting traffic based on intensity and extent. Consider trying a free VPN trial to see how quickly you can access content. If streaming remains slow after enabling the VPN, it may help confirm whether the issue lies with your connection or the VPN itself. Although your ISP can restrict VPN usage, they can't monitor your activity, which should prevent protocol-specific limits and ensure uniform throttling. This would offer more clarity on their actions and confirm that the problem isn't due to your broadband or conflicts with other users.
I've never met an ISP that limits all traffic types, including speed tests, and I've used 4.5TB of internet at home this month. Being in western Canada means I can't speak to Rogers. If your speeds drop unpredictably, it's likely a network quality or congestion problem. The bottleneck might be further upstream, not at the local CMTS or HFC node, which is why Rogers says everything is fine.
