oof... 😪 everyone's kickin' the bucket.. RIP tommy G.

- You should brush up on your there/their... 💀 - tomatoe/tomoto 2ndly; The point was, Ziply Fiber still uses Frontiers backbone. Regardless of ownership/billing finally; My setup is simple. ONT to their (frontier) router via CAT8. From the frontier router to the Asus, again via CAT8. Only reason we (had) to use Frontiers router was for the TV svc. (coax) We also killed the TV and home phone. We stream via Roku & Gaming systems. Roughly 8-11ms.

Their* Well, "ziply fiber" is owned/backbone by Frontier Communications (🤮) & yes, unfortunately I have to use their (Arris NVG468MQ) router due to also having their TV svc, which requires a router with coax connection.. But to be fair, Frontiers routers ONLY job is to provide an IP address for my Asus RT-AX82U (& coax for tv). From there everything WiFi or hardwired goes through the Asus.

I'll take accelerator for $400 bob. 😄 https://testmy.net/hoststats/ziply_fiber

hi

I have the same run for the work & gaming PC lol. Keep in mind, anything over cat6 for standard home connections will have little to no impact on the performance... i just did it cause i get a real good deal on networking equip .

Welcome! Could be worse, could be using Frontier

I've got the Samsung s21 ultra; work where im in the "5GUC" PS: oh, and ookla showed over 500.

Cat5e is more than sufficient for most every day home installs. it's also very affordable & easily accessible. Personally, anything I have hard-wired I use cat8; It's completely unnecessary but most of my networking & pc's are relatively close proximity so I decided to waste the money on overkill cable. https://www.lanshack.com/Cat-8-Shielded-40G-23AWG-2000MHZ-SFTP-Shielded-PVC-Solid-Conductor-Ethernet-Cable-300-Ft-Blue-P9067?gclid=CjwKCAjwyryUBhBSEiwAGN5OCOnE2gA5sAPvA94nDXlNyjQTqO-o2KhxqmvGMKSxF85dHEnJNMBPvRoC6HwQAvD_BwE

<----------- Needs larger test size anyway!

Yeah Yeah Yeah.. 😂 Heard that. 👍

1: I actually lol'd on this. XD This was the general consensus of many....MANY people and Verizon pretty much said F.U. to all its unhappy customers; @ one point even trying to disgustingly blame Samsung for " Not implementing multi-bands of 5G from the factory". The thing that really put the nail in the coffin for me was i just bought a Samsung Note 8 not even a year prior, ($899) and just brought it in for an issue i was having with media loading... than they were like " We've got a deal for you!!" 🙄 2: NGL, never imagined you having anything less than the newest of new mobile tech.... Glad to see you can still surprise us after all these moons, D

I was with Verizon for over 17 years. I left because they got me with the whole bait & switch false advertising of the Samsung Note 10+ 5G. Sold me the phone for $1299 , waited MONTHS than they say "oh yea, this phone will never see 5G; Verizon switched to 5G UWB & these phones will never support such." After calling customer service, pissed, they were willing to "credit $100" for the trouble on a phone that costed well over a grand at that time which promised 5G that was never there. I canceled my subscription that day and switched to T-Mobile 5G; A little spotty in some areas but overall acceptable.

Not gunna lie; Damn near had a stroke trying to read that. ?

+_+ lol testmy still hates my upload. download isn't too far off from believable. in the AM and occasionally in the laaateee PM I see close to gigabit speeds. I'd never use a competitor speed test but I needed to test upload as well ( <.<) so I used TMN 2.0 .. for this one..

IG it's not too terrible for an area that's horribly overprovisioned.

? thats pretty damn decent for 5G my friend! Congrats.

Can you clarify what the issue is?

Figured id test the ole' Frontier junk-o-matic out. https://testmy.net/db/8cy_12fbf.o6w7ZEZRG https://testmy.net/8cy_12fbf.png tf.. why is it so gd hard to link pics now?? ?

Not bad for 5G. What results do you get to this websites speed test?

cached result. next. ?

Forums are kind of dated, I'll agree. Back in the day I used to be part of 5 or 6 forums religiously... Now a days no-one posts anymore. Maybe a live chat may be more beneficial? Multi-room live chat like the old AOL chat rooms back in the day lol. Social media has really become the #1 "outlet" for all forms of media really.. News, gossip, entertainment, retail.. Cant really re-invent the wheel, just have to go with the (current) flow to stay relevant.

We still here. just lurkin' ?
