I live in a small village in the Eastern Cape.
There is no fiber here.
But I have been getting speeds of about 35 -50Mbps with my Vodacom WIFI router for the last few years which is adequate for my needs.
About 10 days ago it dropped dramatically. Now it's between 1.5-4Mbps and I never changed a thing.
However if I use my phone as a hotspot with cellular data I get between 50-75Mbps ! Surely the router and the phone connect to the same tower?
I've tried a different router with no luck. Reset all my adapters. Same thing. Tried a new PC. Same thing.
The only thing I haven't done is phone Vodacom because that's a whole nightmare on it's own.
Anyone care to venture an explanation? Or a solution?
