2 years ago Just checked, I have 20Mbps in Waydroid and SFOS (within some margin, +-5Mbps). So, it is your provider. Note that Waydroid connection is probably similar to hotspot-like one.
Closing here.
this may be a waydroid issue, or it may be a sailfish issue, or a telecom issue, or just a me issue. forgive me if this is the wrong venue.
the symptom on my XZ2c running 4.3 aosp10: on LTE, android apps (e.g.: bromite) get 200kbps, and sailfish apps (e.g.: sailfish-browser) 8,500kbps. (LTE is shitty here) on WiFi, they both get 345,000kbps.
on a side note, aliendalvik 8 on XA2 and aliendalvik4 on Xperia X does not have this symptom, and stock android9 on XZ2c does not have this symptom, all get 8+mbps on LTE.
i have a possible explanation, which is that my telecom is throttling me. T-Mobile provides two different bandwidth caps, one for 'device' and one for 'hotspot'. im not sure this is the problem, though, as the cap is usually 20-40kbps.
on my laptop, i get around this throttling a socks proxy on my laptop, and i might be able to do the same on android for some apps, but not others.
is it expected that i would have a different mac (or whatever they might be using to check) from waydroid? i dont have any idea how the routing actually works. if the issue is the throttling, might i be able to fix this at the system level?
