Have you ever watched youtube where people build/modify vans and campers?
For ideas for your van?



Did I already ask this question?

I don't know, but it's pretty much how I want it. Thanks. Taking it on the road in about a week.

If you average the results on a speed test website and then do the same on 2 or 3 other sites, and then average the averages, your result is probably close enough.

Fiber is supposed to be pretty consistent. Cable varies by how many people are on in your area at the same time. (When school lets out it plummets.)

 

[ZurokSlayer7X9]

Cable uses electric conductors to transmit signal, while fiber optic uses refraction of photons. Depending on the medium used, clarity, and thickness of the fiber, many signals can be transmitted to and fro at just slightly less than the speed of light, many more than what an electrical conductor can transmit. I believe the light signals in a fiber optic can be modulated by changing the wavelength (ie. color) to maybe increase the amount of signals that can concurrently transmit through the crystal. Fiber signals can be transmitted further away without as many repeaters, as the primary impedance would be medium clarity and impurities, while conductors are impeded by electrical resistance.

Somebody is using big words....

 

[d.kaufman]

I can say with certainty that Frontier fiber optic absolutely sucks. Have it at the shop. Would not recommend anyone

Fiber is SUPPOSED to be consistent but we have Surf Fiber in Kouts and the download speed varies by up to 100 Mbps sometimes(the plan is 500) the upload varies too but it's a smaller margin

Well... You are talking Kouts... Rough in the big city!!

Agreed, we have it at the shop too, horrible

Do you get where every now and then the speaker is all garbled? Can't understand a thing people are saying. Happens at least once a day, sometimes more. Even thought it could be my phones and bought a new set-up. Same ****

Saw a couple of guys from Surf Fiber working on cables on Rt 30 east of Wanatah yesterday.

 

[jedi]

First time at this place for a bday celebration for work.



Similar to house of kobe but less food and higher prices.


Filet mignon plus jumbo shrimp plus chicken with upgraded steak fried rice was $65 before tax and tip. Just water for jedi.

That is about $15 more than house of kobe and no doggie bag to take home.
The food is less salty that kobe.

Still would not recommend.

No, we just get sloooooow internet a lot, all computers not just one or two. When we do lose service it’s like no big deal to them, they’ll get to it when they’re damn good and ready

That could be your connection, the Internet, or their connection.

Are your phones connected with a wire or wirelessly?

Base is connected by wire. But before the "upgrade" to fiber I never had this issue. Using the same connection point as prior. I lose phones, internet and cc machine at times as well. Sometimes it's all 3, sometimes it's just 1 and not all. Have to reboot the modem roughly once every couple weeks. And it sucks when I only lose connection to cc machine as I don't know until I go to run a card. Then the customer has to wait on the reboot.

Frontier has been out on numerous occasions and of course can't duplicate any issues
