(2) Q: What other applications are active, in use, when speed drops? Prior to and during speed test with Secure Connection active; Ping 15 ms, download speed 7.7 mbps, upload speed 0.9 mbps. With secure connection Ping 665ms, download speed 6.7 mbps, upload speed 0.5 mbps. Applications running on computer at the time were Chrome, Outlook, excel, photoshop, Photos app, (2) A: "makes no difference" If nothing is: active, being used, how is "speed drop" identified? I use Iinet Speed Test on Chrome browser. (3) How often is KSC used, enabled, activated? Version 20.0.14.1085 (c). Activated for short time only. It has always been slow for me. Problem is worse now than last year as I am limited to a connection through Germany. (Need to spend money to get more options.) (4) Please list all internal network devices? NAS, laptop couple of smart phones on wifi. (5) Is there any anti-virus software in use? If "yes" please provide name & version? Yes, Kaspersky Internet Security. updated March 2019 with renewed subscription. The impact on the browser is quite easy to see as I turn the Secure Connection on and off with out doing anything else to the computer. Below is a snap shot of the speed test Cheers KDA

Hello KDA, Thank you for posting back & the additional information. There's a bunch of stuff we could do/try to diagnose/troubleshoot & maybe solve, my thoughts are, it would be good for Kaspersky Technical Support to assist you, except, by the sound of it, KSC is unlicensed, ref: "I'm limited to single virtual location, need to spend money to get more options". According to Kaspersky guidelines, Tech Support is only available to users of licensed software, however, you have KIS, premium, so maybe, they might help. At they very worst, all they can say is "no", To contact TS, https://support.kaspersky.com/b2c, select Location, select General product use, select from options: Phone (not available all locations) Online Chat (not available all locations) Submit a request: link redirects to MyKaspersky web portal, sign into your https://my.kaspersky.com/ account, go to https://my.kaspersky.com/techsupport#/requests/new, fill out template, as per my image: As well as providing as much info as possible, ensure you mention you have KIS Premium. If TS are unwilling to assist, or if you decide to not try TS, please post back? Thank you:pray_tone3:
