Throttling or just peak time madness

I work from home and every day at 5 pm or a couple minutes after everything stops loading and I have to reset my modem to get my normal speeds back. Its really starting to interfere with my work. Might have to switch to FIOs in my area. Located in San Bernardino County wondering if anyone else is having the same issues lately. It doesnt completely stop working its just very very slow.

Connecting 2 houses

Last year we moved to a property that has 2 houses and front unit and back unit. They both have their own connection to the ISP but I want to combine the network into 1 so we don’t have to pay for 2 separate bills. There is conduit for the current drop from front to back that I can use. I’d just want to weigh out different options.

  1. It has to be wired
  2. Wondering if it would make sense to go fiber instead of Ethernet. I’m no expert but the electric in both houses are completely independent and the front house is older and has electrical issues. That’s why I’m entertaining the idea of fiber
  3. It would be about a 200ft run altogether including from inside the house running all the way to the back house inside.

I already have switches in both houses that have SFP ports if that means anything. I’ve done a lot of research but getting conflicting information I just need some guidance and things to watch out for.

Serrano plant is thriving!

Started some seedlings for my grandmother who had trouble in the past getting serrano peppers started. After we repotted to its final pot she's been taking care of them and this one in particular is doing so well. It doubled in size in 1 week compared to the others. I think the others are in too much shade possibly. Grandmother is very experienced though she has never started any plants from seed.
