Extremely Slow Internet

I'm not sure why it's so slow. I used to run around 50 to 80 MPS now I'm lucky to have it run at 5 MPS, and for the last few days , it's been 0.5 or less, I'm paying for something I can't use to stream any videos,  about the only thing it can be used for is shopping or Facebook,  unless you try to watch a video on there. 

 

 

  • I suspect that this is traffic 'deprioritization' by T-Mobile.  I suspect that the reset may be based on metrics.

    I have a new posting about my new 5G Home Internet slowing down, most often during early evening hours around 5:00 to 7 PM.  And I figured out that I can get the speed to somewhat acceptable level by resetting the router.  Have you tried that and does it make any change? 

    I am awaiting a reply from anybody on my posting.  It's most confusing as to why the reset resolves the issue, but only for a week or so, then the speed nose dives during early evening, which I assume is peak time with gaming and all.
