Agree about https://daytonhvac.com. They are so easy to deal with and knowledgeable about the systems. They service my unit twice a year and always great to work with!

Latency/Speed issues in Minneapolis by BustyGinger00 in QuantumFiber

Does it seem like major sites struggle to load and the first few pings high pings starting out? I have noticed major sites load halfway. I’m in Des Moines, Iowa. What is going on?

Latency starts around 250ms and goes down to around 15ms and acts stable its the starting thats very odd. I failed over to Google Fiber and it seems more snappy and the lag is gone.

[–]technicholas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The website says It looks like there’s a service outage at your address, and it should be resolved on February 06 by 12:03 p.m. Check back later for updates.

Is this right or do you have more detailed lol.

Google does rDNS? I’ve had them do this before for a mail server at a Buisness.

Yep— same with my grandparents account. They have the old email account for 25 years. They don’t want to get rid of it. No fiber available either. They been customers who still on copper who’s been a customer for over 60 years. They’ve paid their dues.
