Bandwith speed issue
So I have been doing a Ookla speedtest at various times of the day over the last week. My download speeds have been about 27-30 mbs and upload speeds of 60+ mbs. Months ago my download speeds were ...

So lets add to the mystery a little bit. For one week or so, checking at various times of the day starting at 7:00 am, my download speeds have been in the 28-30 mbs range as I mentioned above. About 15 minutes after this first post, I did another speedtest and all of a sudden I was running 92 mbs and 84 mbs with the VPN on. That is a helluva coincidence, but it gets better. 5 minutes after I got this reading I did yet another speedtest and this time it popped right back down to 30 mbs once again. Any ideas? Literally 5 minutes apart and my download speeds went down by 2/3's, just like they jumped 2/3's after my post. This is strange as all get out.
Are you testing over WiFi or over Ethernet? That can make a difference. Thew ONLY accurate test is using a direct connect, ethernet. Also, try a different speed test, as a congested path to the server you are reaching could affect your result.

Same computer, over ethernet.
this latest test was WIFI, but as I said in my post, I ma getting the same numbers via a cable and direct access to the router. Also, I have used multiple testing options figuring that may be an issue, but no, I get the same results no matter the test, no matter if it is WIFI or direct. I am not a pro by any means, but I consider myself somewhat knowledgeable. I have tried everything I can think of
