    Did any of you ever consider that your ISP provider is slow at certain times of the day and it has nothing to do with Fab?

      I did. On two occasions I requested that SF add a ping/traceroute report to the log file so that the fallacy that a program can have a varying effect on Internet speeds would finally be put to bed.

        I did, but that's not relevant.

        In downloading something from Hulu today, it is coming in at a kilobytes/s speed. Best I can evaluate, maybe 1.5x speed, so a 20 minute video is taking about 13 minutes to download. Just did an Amazon download and a 45 minute video took around 30 seconds. I noticed Hulu just added interactive ads to their Roku streams, such

            A speed test means nothing. They measure average time to download a file at a server (usually located near to you so that the results look better) that has nothing to do with the streamer file you want to download. The only true test for speed/latency is doing a ping/tracert (traceroute) to the CDN that the stream is coming from. A traceroute will point out where the slowdown is occurring. Being that it appears that the speed complaints seem to come from the same few people all the time, I'd be willing to guess that the slowdown is occurring within the first few hops.
