Their/There, Potato/Pototo
From what I have read and understand. Ziply Fiber isn't associated with Frontier Communications and is part of Northwest Fiber. As Frontier declared bankruptcy and solds its assets to Ziply Fiber. And as far as I know, Ziply Fiber only offers internet and Phone service. TV has to be streamed via a TV Streaming service like Youtube TV. I had Frontiers TV Service for a while but I had there Router connected to my router. It has been a while but I remember something about there cable boxes only needing coax from there router for the channel
I don't know how your setup is, but it sounds like you still have coax coming in to provide your internet and not from a ont? I don't remember if Frontier installed my ONT or if Ziply Fiber did. But my current setup is a Fiber Line from the pole to the ONT in my garage, then from there its a Ethernet Cable to my Asus RT-AC68U and phone line from the ONT to the office printer because someone still wants to be old and fax. I don't use cable boxes any more because it is cheaper to use Youtube TV service and Roku's.

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.

lol, are you on the 1gig plan? using there crappy router?

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.

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.

Ooooh man, I'd be pissed too. I would have left them too and ever since I'd be looking for the class action suit that I'm sure is in the works. If it isn't, maybe it should be.
"oh, it's 5G but not the kind we use." -- "WTF! I bought it from YOU!" "I think they might use those bands in Malaysia or Cambodia, maybe think of moving."

I ended up with the S22 Ultra but am still walking around my house with my Pixel 2... haha.
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

What do you think about this mobile 5G everything right now i've been paying for 5guw after nose for about a year. In my Samsung s20 Fe doesn't even have the capabilities to read verizon's 5 g's bands yet the phone is called 5guw
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. ?

With a Snapdragon 825 this phone doesn't really even have 5G the queen of rides and it started to pick up the millimeter band at all no matter if you was in the stadium incapable of getting their mid band . c-band I'm paying for this until now it's all include but you don't need why I need to find this phone cannot pick up Verizon's 5 g's if I pay for it all the way out and switches T-Mobile where to pick up bears

DANG!
If that's what you get in "an area that's horribly overprovisioned." -- sign me up!
Sorry I'm slow to respond dude, been consumed with building a couple of ZFS servers on the backend. It's a process, that's just about complete.
+_+
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..

Hi, Does anyone here know how to check upload/download speed over VPN to/from a hosting server. I have tried several ways but the parameters are not as expected. Thanks!
Can you clarify what the issue is?

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.
