March 8, 20215 yr I suspect from time to time my ISP is throttling the bandwidth available. Is there any way to check if that is occurring? T45
March 8, 20215 yr have you tried running a speedtest and comparing the results to the package you buy? 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next
March 8, 20215 yr Speedtest is the worst way to check if your ISP is throttling you( they cheat). The best way is to use a VPN. That way they can't do packet inspection. Also make sure you are using open dns in your router instead of the ISP DNS. Edited March 8, 20215 yr by fogboundturtle https://fsprocedures.com Your home for all flight simulator related checklist.

Wireguard is a pretty fast protocol and I have no issue with my 700Mbps connection.

March 8, 20215 yr In the UK I use Ookla to check. Speeds do tend to drop a bit in the evening though when everyone comes home from work. I must admit, I thought they were throttling me on Sunday, then I spotted Steam was updating apps in the background, blasted thing. I do use 1.1.1.1 as a DNS. It is quite good. VPN makes no difference to speeds for me. Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

March 8, 20215 yr Commercial Member A while ago I made a little freeware app that watches network speeds and data consumption of the running MSFS process. Maybe that will tell you something. You can find the "Lorby Microsoft Flight Simulator Network Monitor" in the DOWNLOADS section of the lorby-si website. LORBY-SI
March 8, 20215 yr Great! Thanks Lorby! I will take a look. Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

March 8, 20215 yr I tried both NordVPN and ExpressVPN and unfortunately the fastest speed I have seen with either is no more than 40Mb (with VPN Off I get over 100Mb). I opened a ticket with both and they came back with a standard response "sorry that's the best we can do" 😞 John
March 8, 20215 yr I use Torguard VPN. https://fsprocedures.com Your home for all flight simulator related checklist.

Cheers, Ed I tried one of the top rated paid for VPNs to investigate this very issue of throttling and lost about 25% of bandwidth measured without the VPN.
