Wifi Seem to be Slower After Switching to PM

[1third]

I use Shaw Open when I am outside. I noticed Show Open wifi seem to be slower after I switched to PM. Is there any reason to this or am I just imagining it?

Check the data vs wifi as suggested by @jp2 as you do not want to be using data when you think you are using wifi 🙂

Another possibility for the slower wifi is that Shaw has been performing maintenance for internet at a national level (see https://community.shaw.ca/docs/DOC-16433).

I think you just solved the case! 🙂

That could explain why it appears that WiFi is slower but it would actually be slower data, WiFi speed should remain the same. 

Do you have a 3G or LTE plan? PM LTE speed should be about the same as all of the major carriers. It will be identical to Telus.

I have my data turns on when I have wifi connection. I remember there is a setting to allow using data to supplement wifi at certain time which will boost my internet speed. I don't know if that has anything to do with my slowed down speed.

Did you make sure you are connected to the WiFi not data?

I can't think of a reason this would be related because WiFi is separate from the sim and all of its connectivity.
