Teams Bug - Limits Internet Bandwidth
- It is a known issue that Teams client uses a large amount of resources for many computers. This is on the roadmap for resolution. You can increase your RAM. Yet, it does not affect your internet connectivity.
Teams may add some load to your computer that may make some internet testing incorrect.
But why are you worrying about it? There's not really anything that you can do on the internet that will use all that bandwidth.
There are many companies with a GB connection and 100+ users that are all extremely happy with their internet connection speed
Teams is 100% the root cause and throttling my internet connectivity.
I don’t need to justify why I require 1Gbps, regardless Teams should not be causing the issue, but it is.

AlanMcBurney , All I have exact the same issue. Without teams no bandwidth reduction, enabling teams bandwidth is severely reduced.

Hello StaceeFrane We are now 8 months later and the issue is still active - when using Teams in group conversation - the bandwidth drops like hell. Moving on my side from 190Mb/sec to 2k/sec - The app is often useless since even turning video down doesn't help increase bandwidth enough to hold a conversation. The only reason why bandwidth drops is Teams conversation launched. What strange is is that I don't have the issue 100% of the time...
