    Overseas internet slowdown?

    This morning about 1 hour ago I started experiencing ultra slow internet. I tried rebooting router, rebooting computer, clearing caches, quitting other apps....but nothing has improved.

    HK sites like Geo appear normal speed, although slightly slower than usual.
    Overseas sites are taking minutes to load, or failing. I have less than 0.5Mbps download according to speediest.net on NY servers, while my internet connection is a 100Mbps line (HKBN).

    Anyone else?

    I had the same. Bacon, are you with Hkbn?

    If so it confirms that I need to switch to Pccw despite having 5 months left on this ccontract. My '100mb' hkbn is ridiculously slow every evening

    Oh yes I reread it and you are indeed with hkbn. Time to cut my losses methinks.

    I will post info about improvement. If there is no improvement I will post images of my torn out hair.

    I'll check HKBN tonight. Have not seen any degradation as such this morning...

    i normally dont have too many problems with HKBN at office, but occasionally a short slow down. This morning it was slowest Ive ever seen, and it lasted for about 2 hours. Appears to be better now, but ill see what happens later today.

    Not sure if its just HKBN.

    I'm with 1010 LTE and all sites have been excruciatingly slow.
