New year: new internet plan! Thanks for the suggestions. I use a laptop on Win10. At home, we have cable internet, 300 mb/s. Visiting always goes quickly. At the cabin, we have mobile broadband where we pay for a fixed amount of data per month. Sometimes, visiting takes ages so I assume the connection speed varies. Not sure why, maybe weather conditions affect it? I have to pause all the automatic updates, otherwise it would take hours and use up all the month's quota, and I'm too mean to pay for more LOL.

I use CCleaner (free) to remove all the junk from the PC. It might help.
