Long story short. I had Ubuntu 18 on my system. I installed
sudo apt install speedtest-cli
to track internet speeds. I have a log copied from the terminal of the output on various days.
- Download: 8.86 Mbit/s
- Upload: 2.24 Mbit/s (typical)
- Download: 11.67 Mbit/s
- Upload: 2.22 Mbit/s
Then I had to reinstall the OS. (long story) Then I re-installed speedtest
. It constantly times out. I ran the command
speedtest-cli --timeout 60
and the best result I could get is:
- Download: 1.17 Mbit/s
- Upload: 1.01 Mbit/s
AS YOU CAN SEE (A SIGNIFICANT DROP IN SPEED) Everything else, equipment, service etc. is the same.
How do I fix this problem without re-installing the OS?
