Getting strange upload speeds to Railway
Hi! I made a previous support request because uploading files to my Railway ExpressJS server was extremely slow. After investigation, this turned out to be a problem with Railway throttling HTTP2 requests and it has since been fixed.
Now I am testing again and I find that my upload speeds change depending on which browser I use. My network upload speed is 50Mbps but I get 2.5Mbps on Brave, and 15-20Mbps on Safari.
I don't believe this is a Railway issue, but I wanted to see if anyone has experienced something similar and may be able to help me figure out what is going on?
Thanks all!

Video upload to my ExpressJS Railway app is suuuuper slow. If locally hosting server, super fast.
Hey there. I am a bit at a loss and admittedly a bit of a noob when it comes to file transfer things.
I have a NextJS front-end and ExpressJS backend. The backend uses Multer.
I want to upload a file (up to 300MB) to my backend but I find that a 150MB video takes 5-10 minutes to upload but my upload speed is 34Mbps, so it should take closer to 30seconds.
I do not really know where to start looking, as I understand the problem could be in a number of places. I would hugely appreciate the chance to speak to someone with more experience.
Thank you!
