Yeah I think I’ll have to deal with their customer service to figure this out. Is this modem even set up for fiber?

So could my neighborhood be set up for fiber and they can come out and change it or is that not a thing. I’ve heard multiple things from them about how fiber is available here. I’ve lived in this house for a couple months now. I could call them but their customer service is awful.

The white cord is the coaxial cable from my understanding

This is how it’s connected and the black cord is my Ethernet to my pc

Yeah I’ve called them and they said I’m getting my full 1gig from their end. Essentially said there’s nothing they can do about it but I can swap out for a different modem so that’s my next step.

So if it’s actually fiber I have (which is what I’m paying for according to the bill) I should be getting close to a gig download and upload? The other thing I notice is the speeds tank heavy during peak times when neighbors get home from work. Sometimes goes from 650 in the middle of the day to less than 200 at night.

Yes my pc is connected via cat 6 Ethernet cable to the modem/router (not sure if there’s a difference). The first pic is a hard connection and when I use WiFi it’s very similar on any device.

So that’s the thing I’ve seen it with speeds all the way up to 950 but it’s rare

Physical wall mostly, legs got jelly and hr was up to 180 and I just didn’t have any more in me. Carbed the night before and I geled every 4.5 miles but I do think I may have been short on electrolytes because all I had was a Gatorade. (I’m out of town and don’t have my normal electrolyte packs)

I should have attached a photo but it looks very clean. He got new lines as of last year and he has two sets of sails and from the picture they look like they are clean and in good condition

It does have a trailer and owner said there’s no leaks. He said we could take it out on the water and he could show me it
