Nice correction! My team is pretty healthy, but a few of them take care of elderly parents at home. It can be the third and fourth jumps that feel the full impact.

But someone went to the extra trouble of blocking specific automations. I bet the t-word was uttered quite a lot during the design and testing of these. I’m not really complaining, if they want to not implement certain features, then so be it. I just found it curious that they considered these security risks. If that’s the reason. Maybe there’s some other explanation.

A connection, any connection, goes through actual hardware. So your speedtest is connecting to a computer somewhere. You client test app is connecting to a different computer somewhere. So something is throttling it. Best way is to test your app with another app that you control. You need two boxes. They can be local but you could also spin on a cloud box. Probably ideal on the cloud (internet connected.) If that test shows a speed limitation then it is your apps problem (with I doubt.) If not then it indicates that something at the other end is probably throttling it. Also possible that your service provider is throttling it. They are 'faking' the results with speedtest by explicitly looking for it. Or you might be hitting a data limit with your app that the document (or don't.)

Yes, on MS-DOS there was char 26 (Ctrl-Z) which was an end-of-file marker in at least some cases. Even in the past ten years I've had to deal with char 26 appearing in string values and causing trouble. At most I would use P/Invoke to call the Windows API routines to read the file. And I would implement my own buffering system. Then add layers from there. But that's still just theoretical.
