I’ve had time to do more testing on this issue. I connected a laptop directly to my modem from Comcast and received a public IP on the device. No router or anything in between.
I then attempted to download files from
-
Google Drive Web Interface
I had similar results to before. Speeds were at a steady 2MB/s. -
Rclone Rsync copy in Ubuntu VM
Same results as web interface, slightly slower. Speeds started at 10MB/s then dropped to 1.5MB/s. -
Speedtest.net and DSLreports
Received results of ~950mbps down and ~40mbps up.
I had been searching around and seen this issue but am unsure how to use it?
Should my hostfile look like
172.217.7.234 www.googleapis.com
or
172.217.7.234 googleapis.l.google.com
If its the first one, I tried two different IPs and had no luck.
You were right about Google not throttling, I think. I changed my IP several times and still had these slowdowns. Is this a Comcast issue?
