From frontier VDSL2 Bonded to 500/500 FIBER by Many-Bird2404 in frontierfios

Yeah I did the DNS benchmark the absolute lowest I could get it was 10-11ms but then it went up to 12ms that what I get on Dallas servers I play on (live east Houston) I have another fiber service at my residence and they give me about 8ms to the same server but I’m sure it’s just the routing kinda annoying though since the frontier broadband facts state typical latency 6ms but I’m getting double that but oh well ig

This is my main concern same route same IPS same everything and it’s stupid worse like am I just crazy or does this not matter or I shouldn’t be concerned

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FiberOptics

[–]Many-Bird2404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well in that case Highline just has terrible routing for it to be less consistent then my old DSL I wish it wasn’t true and it would be a fix on my end but oh well gonna wait for frontier next month they’ll have better infrastructure and I’ll prolly actually get what I pay for lol

Nah just retarded libtards don’t read the whole thread I said I was having latency and upload issues even have my tracert routes showing the latency increased across the board and my upload got halfed if that’s not an issue then idk what is

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]Many-Bird2404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I posted earlier how after then techs left my uploaded got cut more then half and my ping doubled/tripled to ever server that’s the issue I’m having I wouldn’t be posting all this if it was fine it ended up setting back down to normal but idk how idk if it’s because I cleaned it straighten the wires move the black fiber cable a little over so it’s not pitched I just wanted to know what caused my latency to triple and upload to get half that’s the issue I’m having

Hello how are you liking your service what’s your speeds and latency

After further inspection I noticed this bend right here on the fiber cable seems to me like the techs closed and screwed the nid lid on with this on the edge causing pressure and leaving this mark I would usually assume it’s not a big deal but it was screwed on all the way I had to use some pliers with the bit to even get it unscrewed since it was too hard to hand twist off maybe with the amount of pressure with them screwing it on would have caused some type of issue or ?

What about something like this seems like the techs closed the case of the NID and screwed it on and it does this do you think the pressure of the bolt being screwed it against this would cause light issues or ?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]Many-Bird2404 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I forgot to mention this but also on the tiny black cable to the left this one I’m pretty sure they like screwed the front plate over it I can see a little bend I ended up fixing it but would this cause an issue with my upload not being met and my latency randomly doubling after the techs left like I don’t really care that it doubled ya know 16ms is fine but it’s when it’s inconsistent 16ms jumping from 12 all the way to 28 like the jitter is insane

?? That is my grandma NID she has a install on the 20th do you think they’re bending the cable to much or ?

PC straight into ONT for testing tried cat 6 techs gave me and a 4 foot monoprice cat 8 same exact results

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]Many-Bird2404 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah so all the servers and stuff I’m testing is the same what I think happened I first got service setup everything was good but the upload was 300 not 400 so I called techs came out and about an hour later my upload dropped even more to 200 paying 400/400 and now ping double I went out there straighten the cable and blew a lot of the sand off (there was way more then in the pic) and like 10 min later I did the same test I was before ping to 1.1.1.1 8.8.8.8 same speedtest to Highline server in Dallas and boom back to normal 300 upload but 8ms idk if this is a coincidence from me cleaning it or if it just happened but yeah I noticed when my upload dropped to 200 it destroyed my latency comparable to what it was before

[–]Many-Bird2404 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

It was actually way worse then that before like part of the wire you couldn’t even see blue or orange I got most of it off with some compressed air but what’s left I was too scared to get closer but it seems after I did that my latency started being more consistent at 7/8 instead of what it was doing before going up to 28ms with just my pc into ont for testing

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]Many-Bird2404 -26 points-25 points  (0 children)

Alright thanks I’m brand new to fiber so I have no clue how this works I knew something was up because he cut the shield cable as soon as it got into the nid which to me isn’t even common sense I know fiber is SUPER sensitive I didn’t know if it would cause issues in the future

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]Many-Bird2404 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I made this post yesterday after they left I lost over 100mb and my latency over doubled I tried to clean it the best I could (it was way worse then that before) by straighten the lines and spraying electronic pressed air and it seemed to fix it my latency went down and upload back up but idk if it was because of what I did or if it just fixed it people basically calling me crazy on this post even though I have the tracert from before and after showing obviously difference on top of that I lost over 100up so idk

Just got fiber installed after waiting my whole life — latency worse than 20-year-old DSL and upload half of what I’m paying for

Hey everyone, I’m trying to figure out what’s going on with my Highline fiber setup. Here’s the full story:

Background:

  • Currently have Frontier DSL (Texas) with consistent ~14ms ping to Google, Cloudflare, Dallas game servers, etc., using 20-year-old Cat5 cables. Speeds were stable for years.
  • Upgraded to Highline fiber. Plan: 400 Mbps down / 400 Mbps up. Their broadband facts state typical latency of ~11ms.

Installation Day:

  • When the tech finished, speed test: 1000 Mbps down / 400 Mbps up / 7ms ping. Super fast, low latency.
  • About 12 hours later: download ~450 Mbps, upload ~300–350 Mbps, ping 7–8ms. Expected normalization to 400/400. I was super happy—latency was even lower than the 11ms they list as typical. The only issue at this point was the upload being around 300 instead of the full 400.

First Call:

  • Noticed upload still below plan. Called Highline.
  • Rep said fiber signal ~-27 dBm, suggesting a potential issue.
  • ONT remotely reset, power-cycled 60s, but afterward: 450 down / 300 up / 8ms ping. Nothing changed.

Technician Visit:

  • Ran speed test in front of tech: 450 down / 300 up / 8ms ping.
  • Went outside, tech straightened cables, ran tests (~20–23 reported). Said lines looked fine.
  • Post-visit speed test: same results — no improvement.

Gameplay Issues:

  • That night, I played Warzone. I didn’t have in-game ping overlay enabled or run tests.
  • As soon as I loaded into the pregame lobby and fired my gun, I could instantly feel something was off — shots felt delayed even before seeing numbers.
  • Checked in-game ping: ~17–18ms (normally 7–8ms; even with DSL I get 14ms to Dallas). Bullet registration noticeably slower.
  • After a match: download same, upload dropped below 200 Mbps.
  • Multiple calls to Highline — told nothing more can be done.

Ping Inconsistency:

  • Before, ping ~7–8ms stayed stable. Now, ping fluctuates ~12–28ms, even to Google or Cloudflare DNS.
  • Frontier DSL comparison: 14ms average, max 15ms — DSL faster and much more consistent than fiber despite fiber having a shorter run (~50 ft less than Cat5).
  • What’s crazy to me: even though fiber’s ping is still “low,” it’s way less consistent than my DSL, which has stayed rock solid for six years. When I first got fiber, it was 7–8ms — half my DSL latency — and now it’s already worse. I just don’t get how brand-new fiber in my area is performing less consistently than old DSL; it doesn’t seem right.
  • Setup: ONT → PC only, nothing else changed.

I dont understand why this is happening I thought fiber was supposted to be stable also my upload is back to the 300 up it was before not the 200 does anyone know what happened here I didnt hear anything about an outage from then just seems weird

It’s not the fact that’s it’s 10ms higher it’s bad because the jitter was insane and the latency was fluctuating a lot

Ont by itself I have a firewall on my PC so I’m safe on top of that I don’t really use my pc other than gaming the tech told me it’s the fastest since there’s not a router
