went back to hotel wifi its actually 10 mbit. Epic was eating the whole bandwidth that's why it was only getting up to 1 mbit. i was only tethered to my phone for like 15 mins and Epic ate about 10% of my monthly plan all in background. lesson there.
thank god i realized what was going on before it ate my whole plan updating PUBG over cellular !
further testing revealed that with Epic Launcher disabled both Hilton Wifi and ATT Cellular get about 10 mbit up and down here. the perceived difference in speed was entirely due to what Epic was doing in background. sure enough when i start Epic it says it has to complete PUBG update before i can play. i disabled epic and connected both phone and laptop to hotel wifi to save what data is left on my plan.
i could theoretically let epic run when i sleep but at 10 mbit it probably won't even finish by the time i wake up. might as well wait until i get home to 400 mbit. not gonna play in the hotel anyway.
disabled Epic launcher from running at windows start up.
