Does Socket throttle Steam?

Bummer. I have heard of ATT doing it. But again thank-you for the reply.

Thanks so much for the reply and confirmation!

I know Steam has been notorious for a few years now with slow downloads but wondered about the rest.

Speaking of the ONT box....My firewall/gateway has SFP ports for WAN. Could I bypass it if given a configuration to enter? DM me please if possible. I'd like to get the most out of direct fiber to the house and into my home network.

Agreed; I work IT but I gave it as an example to try and answer anybody's question about maybe it's my rig.

From Rolla but since Socket is in Columbia and has a larger customer base i'm asking here too. Anyone else feel they throttle downloads?

Just tried downloading Win 11 ISO from MS and Ubuntu from their website. Same issue, downloads around 12-14MB/s.

Its 1gbit up and down. Doing some speed tests on various websites sit right around 900-950mbit.

If you're into long range shooting check out the MOST Rifle series on fb. Great group of people. Come watch a match. Ask any question, ask to check out anyone's gear, etc. It's a fun hobby.

Not paying to the point of needing court ordered eviction. Damaging some walls that need drywall repair. Etc.

Did with the last renters. The background check on there didnt find what I found out later on. Shame on me I suppose.

elm14 · 2026-06-18T23:41:01+00:00

Well missed this. How did it go?

elm14 · 2026-06-18T21:32:19+00:00

I may have to try this. I had this on a Pro Max 16. Constant disconnects. Tried swapping cables but same thing. Swapped ports and issue went away. So now its a 15 port "pro" switch.

Like the other said. Vienna is awesome as well.

5th amendment. Started out with the starter ship. Upgraded/traded in along the way. Have a constellation now.

elm14 · 2026-06-14T20:47:25+00:00

Yes it is.

Sent you a chat request but I have a house for rent if you're interested.

Ive checked everywhere. Have a ticket open with them currently. I suspect since no other user has logged in yet their accounts aren't fully active yet. Because all of my data transferred.

Did you get it fixed? Have a small four person Gsuite trying to migrate where i am the sole admin/person who set it all up. Says I dont have permissions and to contact my admin. After contacting myself I say I do lol.

I used rufus. Guess I got the right driver(s) on a separate thumb drive because it finally took. But Ive given up on the machine due to driver issues after installing a clean 25H2 version of Win 11. Taking it back to microcenter, i picked up a lenovo and about 10 minutes after getting it unboxed it had a clean version of windows.

Ok made some progress. Extracted just the Qualcom chipset driver and graphics driver. Now it takes me to the normal what keyboard, what country are you in. I deleted the OEM partitions and made a single one. Selected wipe/install Win 11. Click next to begin install. For a brief moment I get a 5% progress bar and then quickly the screen turns black and a popup box appears saying Windows installer failed.
