Vortex download speed goes up and down

[ExpoXian]

Hello there.

My issue is that my download speed just abruptly decreseas, and the download stops for some seconds, or until I pause it and resume it.

This overall slows down my downloads horribly.

Following is all the data you should need from the Vortex Speed Test extension, I should've also attached a screenshot displaying the behaviour of my download speed.

This happens only with Vortex and not with Steam nor Epic Store etc.

Looks at your results, changing your default server to Chicago would give you the best speed.

 

Unfortunately the reliability is very likely to be a problem at your ISP. You can report a fault to them or try a VPN to see if your connection quality improves.

Which btw is weird as hell since I am in Italy

 

Also, how do I change the default server?
