Turkcell Superonline Upload Speeds Drop to 0.2 Mbps Abroad
I am experiencing an upload speed drop to as low as 0.2 Mbps when connecting to overseas servers, while I get ~18 Mbps upload speed domestically. Download speeds are 70 Mbps and 100 Mbps, respectively. Despite this clear discrepancy, Superonline confidently blames the issue on Wi-Fi. I’ve repeatedly encountered timeout errors on essential services like GitHub and Microsoft Store, which are resolved when using a VPN. However, when I mention this, they respond that they don’t provide site-specific support. Imagine if Google, Instagram, or YouTube stopped working tomorrow—you wouldn’t have anyone to turn to. (This was tested on two PCs, and the errors were definitively resolved with VPN.) The support team lacks professionalism, presenting the first solution that comes to mind without understanding the issue or having technical expertise. After 2-3 failed attempts to resolve this through their system (both verbal and written), I had to bring it here. Every time, they blamed Wi-Fi. The issue is clearly with their routing system. If I can get 100/18 domestically, but it drops to 70/0.2 overseas, it cannot be a Wi-Fi issue. Despite explaining that timeout errors and upload speeds improve when using a VPN, they still insist it’s Wi-Fi-related. This logic makes no sense. Do they think VPN connects via satellite? It uses the same computer and Wi-Fi to connect to the modem; the only difference is that it bypasses their problematic routing system. As a "solution," they even disabled my 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band without asking me, although I was already using 5 GHz. If I didn’t have a device supporting Wi-Fi 5, they would have effectively cut off my internet access. How can they make adjustments to my setup without consulting me? With ISP-controlled modems, they press every button they can. Changing the Wi-Fi channel is unnecessary since the modem automatically does that on reboot. If I can achieve 100/20 speeds to the Kayseri Turkcell server via their own site but drop to 70/0.2 overseas, it’s not a Wi-Fi issue. You don’t need to be an expert to understand this; it’s clear they just don’t want to put in the effort. If they send someone knowledgeable, we can thoroughly address the issue from a technical perspective. Online games like Marvel Rivals cannot connect without a VPN. The ironic part is that with a VPN, not only can I connect, but my ping also drops. Without a VPN, I get a ridiculous ping of 200-300 MS, and that’s if it even connects, while with a VPN, it’s 100-120 MS.
It's been half a year with no fix in sight, they don't care and put the blame on end user, while it's entirely their bad infrastructure.
