Dear Seán,
I am perplexed. When in this 'selectively throttled' state:
Google's internet speed test reliably shows 10Mbit/s download.
Ookla reliably shows 50-70Mbit/s download.
Downloading files from the link you provided reliably shows between 4-5Mbyte/s.
I can run multiple Google internet speed tests at the same time and they all show 10Mbit/s. It is not dependent upon the browser; I can have one in chrome at 10Mbit/s and one in edge at 10Mbit/s at the same time, with combined 20Mbit/s download.
And if I keep reconnecting to the mast in about 1/2 connections Google's internet speed test shows 60-70Mbit/s.
I can recreate the issue with my Google pixel 3A phone. If I keep disconnecting from the Vodafone network and reconnect in about 1 in every 2 connections or perhaps 1 in 3, I get into this state in which Google's internet speed test maxes out at 10Mbit/s but Oookla still shows much higher.
Anything else I can try short of VPN? This seems so strange to me.
