How to understand that the provider intentionally limits the connection speed, and how to deal with it if there is no alternative?

Question

Computer networks

I live in a village near a large city, a long time ago one provider provided 4G in quotation marks.
There are suspicions that the provider, on its recently introduced unlimited 4G tariff, limits the connection during the day, not only for torrents, but for all resources. From about 12:00 to midnight, the speed drops from 10 Mbps, which is still convenient for surfing the Internet, to 1-2 Mbps, which is not so comfortable, in the evening, the ping in all services skyrockets.

Just a few months ago, the speed was much higher and the connection is more stable. About 20 Mbps day, night and evening. Therefore, either the problem is on my side, which is unlikely, because. on all devices the same situation (on a computer with a modem, phones with other SIM cards), or on the side of the provider.

I already wrote to technical support several times, applications were made in those. department, to which they constantly sent replies after a week or two, something like "We are constantly upgrading our network", etc.

The contract states that the speed is unlimited, and does not mention any cuts in the connection, except for torrents, of course.

What should be done in my situation?

Answer 1

unlimited 4G plan

Further it was possible and not to continue. Any radio access that is not p2p, p2mp has a limited bandwidth that is shared by everyone.
Here is the result for you, in the morning no one needs the Internet and the lane is free, your speed measurements show normal speed, after 12 everyone wakes up and starts eating the channel until late in the evening, until they go to bed.
Actually, you have several ways
1. Sign an agreement as a legal entity, in the agreement write down sla by speed. It is expensive.
2. Look for wired access, "only for you" radio relay or similar.
Everything else is squats, which most likely will not pay off.

Answer 2

This is where is such a #opa of the world that there are no main cellular providers in it?

Answer 3

The case is not Btline?
For a month and a half I have already observed a similar picture at a remote point.
But in my case, the foliage is most likely to blame, while it was not there, the speed was sane

Answer 4

I wrote a whole sheet, but accidentally closed the tab, so I will be brief:
We are talking about 4G, that is, mobile Internet. This means that it is sensitive to congestion in terms of the number of subscribers and terrain / interference. Well, the number of towers ....
It's not a fact that the operator brought 10 GB to the village. But let's say the sum of the channels is 10Gbps. And let's say the number of subscribers is half of the 50,000 population of the village. Let it be roughly 30,000. (For convenience).
The total is 10,000 Mbit per 30,000 subscribers. Or 1 Mbps/3 people.
Imagine that at night the utilization of the channel is about 10%. Ie 10Mbps for 3 people. And let only one download at a time. Here is your speed.
During the day, or even more so in the evening, when everyone is sitting on the couch and scrolling through Instagram. Utilization of 30% and at the same time two out of three use.
Your average speed will be 6 times lower.
The calculations are far from reality, but I think the meaning is clear. Believe me, you can still sit on 4G. But on 3G, a couple of hundred subscribers to squeeze the network completely.
In short, if I were a provider, I would not bother with speed cuts by the clock or something like that.
It is much easier to make Shape after for example 3GB of traffic per day. And leave the speed as it is.
And that's exactly what almost all operators do. And it is precisely because of the inability to provide all subscribers with at least 1 Mbit of stable speed that operators make a fixed number of megabytes in tariffs. Just so that the network does not lie down. And the price of tariffs is already their earnings.
But 99% of operators won't give you unlimited
4G internet. And unlimited at full speed - just no one will give. Just because it will be death for the operator.
With night rockers they fight with a shape after X GB of traffic. With herd traffic - megabyte limit. Put yourself in the position of the operator and you would do exactly the same.
