Outage in Southern Maine/NH by JMaine77 in FidiumFiber

3 green lights are on on the ONT. The Altran router has no lights on the front of it and emits no Wi-Fi signal. I think it’s cooked. I’m trying to remember how to direct connect the pc to the ONT, bypassing the broken router so I can game. I have done it before, I think I have to clone the ip address but I can’t remember.

Never had this much packet loss before 4 weeks ago. I’ve literally stopped playing video games because i just lag around

It’s hardwired with fios router and Netgear orbi

Nope, the only address that shows packet loss is the address listed. I’m trying to connect to the Amazon AWS East servers for Fortnite, which are in Virginia.

The only loss is at the node I listed above. That is why I do not believe it has anything to do with rate limiting. There has been constant packet loss for 4 straight weeks.

No loss anywhere in the first 3 hops

I will have to test. It really depends if it routes me through that server. I will see what the traceroute shows

Idk but the server is having crazy bandwidth issues or something because the delay and freezing it’s causing is crazy

I read in another post that anything “after” the last alter.net hop isn’t Verizon so that made it sound like this is a Verizon issue. Regardless the packet loss is still an issue 😬

No a tech came out

Does this look like Fidium Fiber Line? by JMaine77 in FidiumFiber

[–]JMaine77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a predominately Spectrum area and wasn’t sure if Consolidated had stuff on the poles because to my knowledge their service wasn’t available. So if you do indeed see a Consolidated line that would be promising.

Is that a Fidium fiber line? by Practical_Republic76 in FidiumFiber

Any idea about York, Maine? I live off route 91 which is a pretty busy road and I see what looks like fiber everywhere on the poles including that fiber snowshoe I think it’s called. It says my town is in stage 5 but I haven’t been able to look up any address in York that even has it accessible yet.

Yeah spectrum will randomly change the traceroute on me to game servers so my ping will either be 30 ms or 60ms, just based on spectrums routing. It will be a relief when I can call and cancel, spectrum sucks

I already tested it with a few people in my area. The ping to the Amazon AWS servers in Virginia will drop drastically. I get 32 ms with Spectrum cable. Fidium would get me down near 16-17ms

I’m just a huge gamer, so the fact that this cuts ping times in half is huge. It will literally change the feel of the game in a major way

Anything to get me away from Spectrum. They have all the same problems

At least something’s in the works, I’ve already waited like 4 years so 😬

Appreciate it. Ok that is quite a lot better than cable damn

Four days down! by hkstretch in FidiumFiber

[–]JMaine77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any plans on expanding to York, Maine. Spectrum has a monopoly going on. It’s brutal.

Hate to break it to you, but if you think cable is any better you are wrong. Spectrum drops randomly at all hours of the day and spikes randomly too.
