Silkarino Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 NexusMods/Vortex Premium was the worst money I have ever spent. I paid for Premium so that I could get enhanced download speeds. I am an accomplished software developer and I am well studied on the subject of networking. For my money I received "Premium" download speeds from US Central Nexus servers of a range of 500KB/s to 2 MB/s, where the consistent average speed over two days testing it was 1.0 MB/s which is literally the free speed. I got scammed. My friend who does not have Premium laughed at me and tested his own free download and got higher speeds than my average "Premium" speed. Don't bother linking me to the help/support article about "Why your speed may be slow." The only reason I am voicing my opinion here is that I can't anywhere else and I was EXTREMELY disappointed to pay money to a seemingly trusted company to receive absolutely nothing. Yes, my Vortex app showed Premium features unlocked but the download speed was a complete and utter scam. Thanks for throttling a paying customer. Except that, I am no longer a repeat customer and will be actively telling my friends that the free speed is faster than Premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 You must not be very good at your job if you think Nexus was the one throttling you while giving everyone else faster speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silkarino Posted January 15, 2023 Author Share Posted January 15, 2023 You must not be very good at your job if you think Nexus was the one throttling you while giving everyone else faster speeds.Can you please demonstrate this? I regularly get 20-40MB/s with my ISP and I don't use a VPN. This is a clear example of false advertising. Does it take 48 hours or more for the "Premium" download speeds to unlock? This is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silkarino Posted January 15, 2023 Author Share Posted January 15, 2023 Run the bloody tests and find out.Great. Just found out why the service is garbage. The company is run by British people. I couldn't be bothered to waste more of my time on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution Dark0ne Posted January 15, 2023 Solution Share Posted January 15, 2023 You've downloaded over 450 mods since going Premium a few days ago so it can't be all bad. Any throttling is not done on our end. If I were to copy you and throw around completely ridiculous and unfounded accusations then it sounds like your ISP is scamming you and not us. If you're not willing to do the tests to help us diagnose the issue then we cannot help and this is a waste of everyone's time. Start another thread with the tests done if you actually want help.
