Network neutrality is the idea that internet service providers (ISPs) should treat all data that travels over their networks fairly, without discrimination in favor of particular apps, sites or services
The FCC will meet on October 19th to vote on proposing Title II reclassification that would support accompanying net neutrality protections
Maybe this will be the one thing that will fix my ISP and let me play online video games without frequent disconnects. I think it’s bad node or something, but I had my ISP at my house over 8 times and they couldn’t figure it out. Meanwhile my unifi gateway shows a high ping at least once a day.
Go spectrum!
I’ve noticed my Spectrum Internet has really degraded in quality in the last months, which coincides with them doing a whole bunch of upgrades to their network and such.
All of my devices in the house that use the Internet now lag in their UI presentation speed, where they didn’t before.
Same with me. Over the last few months it’s started to take tens of seconds to connect to any websites that aren’t Google, Facebook, YouTube etc. Idk what it is or why it’s happening, but it’s to the point where I’m switching ISPs because it’s wasting too much of my time.
Lucky you.
The only other option I have is a 5G cellular network, and if my cell phone is any indication, my Internet quality when I live would not be good, as there’s just not enough towers in my area for the new tech.
I assume you must live before 5G service was a thing
Why would you assume that?
I was born on the day that 5G was rolled out.
j/k. :)
Change your DNS to see if it’s a resolution issue.
Thanks. Yeah I was thinking about that, but I would then want to know why all of a sudden my DNS lookups were a lot slower then before, if that is the problem.
Their upgrading to your area could add more hops to resolve your dns. Doesn’t hurt to test. Can apply it to a single device with issue you mentioned, flush dns (or restart device) and see if it resolved the issue.
I honestly doubt that, but even if so, that would add a very few milliseconds to the round trip, not enough for a human being to really notice.
And I’m definitely noticing a difference now.
