I'm really upset. I've been using a Connect 2Mbps connection. All was going fine with Connect, until suddenly my cable operator thought it would be a good idea to switch to Wancom. I've been using the same cable net for almost 12 years with Connect. It wasn't great, but it was okay.
It's been 5 days since the change and I'm having a massive headache. On local servers in Speedtest, it shows 1ms ping and around 2.4Mbps download speed. But on international servers, it gets much worse. Around 250+ms ping and 0.7Mbps speed! WTH!
The download speed isn't constant either. It keeps fluctuating. This makes downloads a hell of a lot slower.
I don't know if something is wrong on my end, but this is a HUGE downgrade. Now Youtube videos play in the lowest quality on auto and I can't watch Twitch streams. This wasn't the case with Connect. It was quite good.
I'm also noticing that my local area connection's name is now shown as "Unidentified network". Also, when I check in ipconfig, the Default Gateway section is blank, there is no gateway IP. Is this normal? This also wasn't the case with Connect. There was always a network name, like "Network 25", and a gateway IP was displayed in ipconfig.
This is their dialer. The Server IP is always like 1.1.1.x. That's also a bit suspicious to me. I'm suspecting that somebody's router in the network may be interfering? But Idk.

- 2Mbps Wancom connection
- No router
I'd like all these clarifications at the earliest please. I'm really worried. Thanks.
