Hey Guys - I appreciate the feedback and suggestions. I'll definitely try the VPN trick if I continue having issues. Around a week ago I started having much better results, and apart from a few hiccups it has been relatively steady and around 80 Mbps. I had them schedule a technician to come out (they didnt come to my house like I thought they would... but instead must have came and done work in the area / development). We called and were told they had to adjust an amplifier that was impacting about 15 customers, so I'm guessing our entire development. Don't have much more info other than that - but it is substantially better than it has been for the past few months. This is the latency test I just took https://testmy.net/latency?gID=beug361nvs, which now looks a whole lot better. There may have been some other issues they fixed as well, but ultimately nothing was changed at my specific location. PingPlotter is also showing very minimal packet loss, if any at all. I'm hopeful it is smooth sailing now, but I will continue to monitor and report back with any other information that may be helpful to others. Thanks!!

I see what your ping plotter is saying, but what's up with the latency results?? Other than to google and amazon, your latency is outrageous just about every where else!  I almost wonder if you have a bum splitter somewhere causing all your irrationalities. 

Here's a latency test i just took..

This is how I searched:If you try it then Show off your desktop should be in the list.
 

I couldn't agree more. Everything was booming than though. Even the different ISP forums were pretty good. The "show your desktops" threads were good. "post your pic" was good. "where you from".  we had ALOt of good topics. I miss the days of activity lol.

Beta Tester Kiss my ass, bottom feeder. I was a Beta tester for more systems than you've had years of life, Was part of the first emails overseas under the 1st President Bush, still have clearance access to the Archives of the Pentagon and ran Networking Forensics for Federal Law Enforcement tracking criminals.  I'm the one whom brought TCP from the Archives in 1985 in a promotion for a virtual commerce. Permission from the Joint Chiefs. I am the Writer of the Thesis EarthSat that brought around a Upgrade to Alexander Grande Bell's Telephone relay system in a conference call. AT&T Schenectady, NY AT&T picked up my thesis (Jovian's Empire BBS on Fidonet) and brought in Aboba from UCLA as we needed a program to hand out the telephone numbers, aka IP. Yea, the DNS and DHCP. Or maybe you'd like to talk about the computer systems you designed. Ever get recognition through Intel? You'll find me there, 2nd week of March 2003. The 1st hardware multimedia system on the DM850 EMVR. Yea that one that gave Microsoft one more production of XP Multimedia...
 
And right now your dysfunction is on show creep. Big starting indicator you are most likely running Malicious Code when you feel you can get away with I &, easy flimsy in holding to your own honor. This as you guess work of me and what I have lived in my life show you in box thinking where your cannot think beyond your own doings. And   like the rest of the snow flakes blaming others for your own practices. Your foil hat fits you Chitbird You wanna put some facts behind you BS, mouth piece? I produce facts not fiction. You  talk BS attempts to Bully away  someone.. Bring it on chit bird, I'm more than easy to find. And I don't back down. Pull your head put your ass and realize Troll, If you do not respect on the walk in, your are likely to get knocked out. Crawl back under you bridge Troll.. Prolly one the TWC 3rd level screw ups running Beta testing in the Subscriptions of streaming.  Of so,, I've recorded your BS and my networking forensics has 100% success in finding conviction in a court of law.. Are you ready for a ten year stretch in the federal pen? Screw up..

How do you block this troll? I find no such access. 1st time I have had to here and I been here a few years and never did I experience such a presumptuous idiot.
 
 Never mind I found it.. (((Poof)) gone..
 
I'll be back after awhile to answer you cholla.. I need to chill out

That's not surprising. I'm seeing the same at my data-center. They're running several 100Gbit connections, but they also host a bunch of infrastructure for Netflix and Hulu, and they told me that "due to the significant amount of traffic to several of our customers, you may see bandwidth impacts." I got another ticket this week that said they're recarving up their bandwidth to limit those two in particular. Going to be interesting to see how that goes.

I eventually got a hold of a supervisor. He reluctantly admitted that with everyone on quarantine and at home streaming Netflix and whatnot, that my area is legitimately out of bandwidth. 
Once this is all over with, we;ll see if that's true. ?

still trying to work out the bugs, but if you have FIOS by Frontier, CALL THEM!  ?
 
 
STORY TIME:
 
See, back in the day, when FIOS was owned by Verizon, the used to do periodic FREE speed upgrades for their customers. For example, when i signed up with FIOS (Verizon) i had the 25/5 package. After a bit, they upgraded their plans to symmetric. So we than got bumped to 25/25. A few years later, as FIOS became more popular, they upgraded us to 35/35 for free! No fuss , no muss. As time went on, there basic plan was 50/50. Again, upgraded at no charge! ->
After some time, many a year later..... Verizon decided they wanted to focus more on their wireless infrastructure, & get out of 65%(+) of their home networking side of things. ( Wireless is far more lucrative than home internet on many, many levels) They decided to SELL their FIOS to Frontier. Frontier is...... garbage to say the least. I dreaded reading this, as well as the day it would come to fruition...  The customer reviews even before they bought FIOS , were frightful to say the least. i was staggered by what was to come. ->
Hardware? Garbage. Network routing? Garbage. Customer Service? Garbage. Its a complete s*** show.  Log story short, after a couple of painful  years & many, many issues with routers, speeds, billing, credits, tech call outs, etc. i finally received the 500/500 plan.  I fought TOOTH & NAIL to get, because they kept telling me my area was not "provisioned to have such speeds". ->
Being on vacation this week, & on lock down to boot, i decided out of sheer boredom to call Frontier up & find out how much the 1 gigabit plan would run us, additional a month, seeing as how iv'e had the 500/500 for some time now.  Dumbfounded, i find out its only $10.00 more a month!!! FRONTIER wasn't planning on telling people this!? Why would they when they can provide ½ the speed & still charge you damn near the same amount for god knows how long. It used to be a $200 a month up-charge! So call! Find out! Don''t pay more if you don''t have to!
 
On a side note, same day after being "upgraded" to the gigabit speeds, i have a "tier 2" service ticket in because the download speeds are quite erratic. I'm sure after 2 to 3 months, they''ll get this corrected too.. ?
 

Been a while since i posted a speed test.  Very long story short, after 12+ years with Verizon/Frontier,  i called them to find out what the best they could do for me on getting some more speed. , for the least amount of money. They tried some low ball offers at first ( i was currently on the 150/150 plan) it wasn't happening. I asked about their 500 plan, they said it would be an extra $200 a month! ? & my area doesn't qualify for that speed. I told them their out there GD mind. So they offered the 300/300 package for an extra $150 a month, and i politely declined. Told them there are other competitors offering Gigabit speeds for far FAR less than were paying monthly. Somehow she (the rep) was able to work some magic and somehow got the 500 plan approved, and only $50 more a month. 
After install i can see why they didn't offer it ? she was really struggling to pull anything more than 300/200. so after 3 weeks of fanagalin they finally for it right. Had to literally find a near empty node to stick me on. 
 
The following results are from MANY major ISP's, Google , and various speed tests,& locations.  testMy hates me, it always has and always will. No logical explanation why, nor rhyme or reason. Single thread, multi thread doesn't matter. Since 2004 , just a hater. ?
 
 
 
 

 

Yea, you don't even know me and you're saying this, just imagine my friends. I don't mean too, but I seriously make the easiest things so complicated. hahaha 

most. random. ever. 

Thank you and sorry about the late reply, but it turns out, it's my fault and I wasn't aware that would happen, as it was my first and last time ever doing the Windows insider program. My pc is still stuck, I finally got past the last update that was keeping me from connecting to the net and now I'm stuck on the next update. Oh well, at least I know it's not the game.

I use many speed test sites. Testmy.net is by far the most " real time " results you are going to find. Other flash based speedtest sites , aka speedtest,net show your absolute best connection speed with a huge overhead buffer. That is considering NOONE around you is using the internet and you are the ONLY one online that day on your node lol.. If you want accurate, right now speed test results, i use testmy.net. I want to know my connection speeds in real life, not what they possibly can be in absolutely optimal conditions ( again due to the overhead) .

Id put the old splitter back in and retest. I've had shit luck with splitters over the years and found that the original one that come with the setup works the best. 

I get the impression that the IP address is the victim of a DDoS attack, where Verizon has decided to null route all incoming traffic sent to it on most or all its routers to minimise traffic on its network from the attack. 
If this is the case, the next hop after your home router would be one of their routers (assuming your ISP is Verizon), hence no reply after your router.  For the Level3 site traceroute, the third hop shown in your screenshot is at Verizon, so the next hop inside their network would also be one of their routers probably configured to null route that IP address.
A few more tests worth trying would be a TCP traceroute and a UDP traceroute.  If both give a similar result, then it's most likely that IP address is null routed rather than just ICMP filtering to block a trace route to it.

As of the 20th when I move into my new house I upgraded to 150 / 150, I'll post speeds @ that time. Keep you updated!

I'd be SO game for that I miss that forum. Miss SHUG & vanburen too!

Was doing a random Google search of my old website & come up with this. 
To be honest, i truely miss these forum layouts. It was the cleanest , and most appealing to the eye IMHO.
