    So I decided to use a separate monitor instead of my laptop screen. I noticed for a couple of days that my internet has been really, really slow. I did a speedtest and my mbps dropped by half!

    So it was apparently a coincidence when I lose internet speed while at the same tiime deciding to close my laptop. No, it wasn't.

    I open my laptop and did another speedtest and it was back to normal.

    Is this some sort of feature that decreases internet speed for the sake of the lid closed?
