Network Management and Congestion
During peak usage periods, internet speeds may decrease as more users access the network simultaneously. At these times, the overall network demand often impacts your experience more significantly than the speed tier you’ve selected or your access line capabilities.
To address congestion, Go Troppo employs advanced network management tools to prioritise different types of data. For example:
- Higher Priority: Data for VoIP and video streaming is given precedence because these services require consistent speeds to function effectively.
- Moderate Priority: General internet browsing and downloads are prioritised next.
- Lower Priority: Applications like software updates and file sharing are deprioritised during peak times to reduce their impact on overall network performance.
Other Factors Influencing Speeds:
Internet speeds can also depend on the content source or congestion at the servers hosting that content. For instance:
- If the server you’re downloading from is congested or has limited capacity, speeds will be slower, regardless of your connection.
- Content hosted on international servers may experience additional delays due to congestion on global data links.
Go Troppo’s goal is to maintain a balanced and efficient network experience, ensuring critical services run smoothly while minimising the impact of peak-hour traffic.
