Hi all,
Vanilla are planning an update to the site on April 24th (next Wednesday). It is a major PHP8 update which is expected to boost performance across the site. The site will be down from 7pm and it is expected to take about an hour to complete. We appreciate your patience during the update.
Thanks all.

Am I being throttled?

When I do an ookla Speedtest, it starts off nice and fast (35mb) but quickly drops to around 4mb and stays there. Is that a sign my provider (eir mobile broadband) is throttling me?

They're giving high burst priority. Its a good thing, it makes browsing responsive. Also slows continuous transfers.
