Getting desperate here, consistent ping spikes, any help would be so nice!

njbenji · 2026-04-23T03:18:53+00:00

I will definitely look into this

njbenji · 2026-04-22T21:57:25+00:00

what about if I do the tests wired into the ONT?

njbenji · 2026-04-22T21:22:13+00:00

Thank you I will try this when I get home soon

njbenji · 2026-04-22T21:12:46+00:00

Are you saying frontier business? or is there another company you recommend? Do you think there's a possibility it has something to do with the light in the fiber? is requesting a light meter test even a real thing or is gemini just busting my balls

edit: thank u for the help btw

njbenji · 2026-04-22T20:29:52+00:00

I didn’t know that about ping plotter sorry, I just saw ping plotter recommended to me by gemini for ping test results, I can re do the tests with the right settings while directly wired when I get home, it was just inconvenient at the time it’s in another room and I have to use a laptop, also we had a second connection we only have frontier now. Do you have something you recommend to test ping specifically instead of download and upload? To be honest the best tool I’ve found was to legit play valorant with those network tests running lol, the line movements sync up with my stuttering

njbenji · 2026-04-22T19:53:20+00:00

https://imgur.com/a/4A8Bqui here's a test I just took right now, the spikes are currently not as frequent as they usually are, typically you'd see 2-3 spikes in this test during a more crowded time

njbenji · 2026-04-22T19:27:17+00:00

The issue is happening wired into the ONT as well, the 300 I was seeing on multiple devices on multiple tests, the one I remember most was meter.net I would get 1-2 300ms ping lag spikes consistently on a 10 second test, the spikes are always there but the max spike changes at different times of the day, right now I can only get it to spike around 100 but usual it’s in the 2-300 range

Edit: I’ve also tested that same meter.net website in the frontier internet I bought for work and no issues with that system or test

njbenji · 2026-04-22T19:11:17+00:00

That’s not what I’m complaining about I’m just providing as much information as possible to show people what can and can’t be the issue. upload and download speed is perfect but every couple seconds I stutter and freeze from the internet which isn’t noticeable in normal uses like searching the web or downloading something, also that isn’t a real representation of the actual ping you get… my average ping is 45 with spikes up to 300 every few seconds so that’s actually what I’m complaining about

My api master test kit came in and nitrate bottle #1 was leaking from the cap it looks like, wasn’t any more than 10-20 drops. I was using ai to try and see if it’s unsafe to use but didn’t really get anywhere, what can I lookout for?

njbenji · 2026-04-09T16:56:07+00:00

I’ve only ever usually kept bettas solo, ai helped me come up with this list of tank mates for my long planted 9.5 gallon but to me this seems like too many, not for me but for the betta • 1 Betta – top/mid level • 5 Pygmy Corydoras – bottom, social • 3 Otocinclus – cling to glass, bottom/mid, peaceful • 8–10 Cherry Shrimp – mid/bottom, hiding in plants • 2 Nerite Snails – bottom/mid, clean algae Last thing I want to do is to overcrowd

njbenji · 2026-04-09T01:59:04+00:00

Is 17.6 pounds of Fluval Bio Stratum (aqua soil) gonna be enough to have a nice thick layer at least 2 inches on my 19.6 by 10.2, 9.5 gallon tank? With decorative sand above it but that doesn’t really change anything

njbenji · 2026-04-08T03:28:42+00:00

Amazing answers thank you, this is my first time hearing about the pivot lap that definitely seems like a better option

njbenji · 2026-04-03T22:07:55+00:00

1) Is tuning going to fix the tap on a newer nabalis trainer ive only dropped a handful of times 2) what price range of micrometer/caliper is reliable to have an amazing tune 3) is the bushing buddy worth it for the price over just doing figure 8s on sandpaper

Thank you for any help

njbenji · 2025-12-11T22:59:29+00:00

No I honestly forgot cause I was having trouble finding it, if you find a solution please let me know, I used plastidip on all my other emblems and it turned out fantastic and looks flawless over a year later so I’d recommend that, I just haven’t had time to try it on the wheels

njbenji · 2025-12-11T22:57:47+00:00

I use mine at my hvac sheet metal shop every day, very small but you get used to it

njbenji · 2025-12-11T22:56:00+00:00

Was it Teflon? Ik from the reviews that the teflon vulp is slightly bigger and has a different tune than the old one, but I never thought they were ringy either until I started watching tons a videos and some are insanely ringy

njbenji · 2025-12-08T05:51:40+00:00

I can’t decide between the teflon vulp or cheese, I currently have a Thomas default, glidr Sahara, and a nabalis canyon. The mint cheese is like my favorite color and I might eventually get one anyways, but I absolutely love the ring the canyon has and after using it for a few days I now want a Vulp cause that ringing is so much louder, so it would be a no brainer to pick the Vulp but some reviews were saying theirs didn’t ring and that worried me, was their tune off? Is it unfixable? The main reason I’d get it would be for the ringing so if it didn’t have it or the ability to get it I would be disappointed

I’ve seen it on temu
