  • if you really want a deep dive (cuz your post suggests that), fire up wireshark on a speed test PC and capture the traffic while you test. look for out-of-order, missing and corrupted packets. you will also get awesome stats on the traffic - wireshark is your best friend. be warned, this is the entrance to the rabbit hole.

    edit: because at some point you are going to want to slide wireshark between the cable modem and your router - for general troubleshooting (and funsies!) then things get interesting as you figure out how to do that properly.



  • is something already pushing 300Mbps worth of traffic across the router? speed tests that are good at power cycle, but quickly deteriorate after, can sometimes indicate that you have unaccounted for traffic crossing a bandwidth limited i/f (your ISPs service).

    check your router stats for the missing traffic.

    edit: also, almost all ISPs have a “burst bucket” for quick but intensive bursts of traffic. you get super speed for a few seconds while your bucket fills up. once full/overcommitted, your ISP starts rate limiting your service again. that may be why you get nice initial speeds, but they drop off quickly. does your ISP give burst speeds and sustained speeds in its terms of service contract on your kids?

    ok,

    Share of the population using safely managed sanitation facilities

    • 884 million people in the world, approximately 1 in 8, do not have access to safe water
    • 2.5 billion people across the globe lack access to adequate sanitation services
    • 1.4 million children die every year, 1 child every 20 seconds, from diarrhea caused by unclean water and poor sanitation
    • 443 million school days are lost each year to water-related diseases
    • 47% of diarrhea incidents can be reduced by hand-washing with soap at critical times
    • 87% say they washed their hands after using public lavatories
    • 77% actually wash their hands after using a public restroom
    • 46% say they wash their hands for 15 seconds or less
    • 15-20 seconds equals the amount of time recommended for hand-washing with soap and water
    • 200% the average increase in life expectancy at birth since the introduction of modern, indoor plumbing

    but, as you said, all of these figurative people can get right outta town.

    plumbers through history have saved countless lives, whether you think so or not. I say they are in the top 5 all-time life saving professions.

    edit: upvoted you cuz you responded :-)
