I don’t know if anyone else has ever experienced anything like this or not before but over the last few months I have noticed that if I do a Speedtest on my wired desktop PC, I will get the results showing that I am receiving what I’m paying for. However, on my other wired devices I am nowhere near getting what I pay for. I pay for 1 gbps symmetrical fiber. I had a technician out here and they replaced my ONT and they even ran a brand new fiber line to it. They also saw what I’m seeing with the Speedtest results and had no answer for me. In fact, the man that was here actually called one of the higher up people with the ISP and he was confused as well. Has anyone else experienced a time where all of a sudden your uploads and downloads don’t match with your fiber? I use the Speedtest.net website on my desktop but use the app on the other devices simply because I have no choice. Also, oddly my router has a Speedtest built into it and it gets the low speeds now as well. All of the test servers are exactly the same. They all auto pick the server which wants the server is picked It says my ISP‘s name on it.
Aside from my desktop PC the only devices I Speedtest on are my iPhone and my wired Apple TV 4K, which it’s the model that has a 1 gbps Ethernet port. I get perfect download speed, but my upload is trash! Same goes with my Speedtest on the router app. I know Wi-Fi is Wi-Fi so it’s whatever right? However, it used to be better as well.

I’m sure I’ve posted about this here before, but it is absolutely driving me crazy! I even factory reset my router once. Also to eliminate things, I think I’ve even plugged my Apple TV directly into the ONT and got the same results.

Quick question… how many of you use Co-Mo Connect as your ISP??

Would there happen to be any guitar players in here? I have some questions about how you all play acoustic instruments. I have a very short midsection so holding large guitars that sound the best is something I find nearly impossible… is it just me??

It seems no matter how much rest/sleep I get I am constantly tired every single day, all day! Is this something that I have to deal with just as I age or do you think there’s possibly something wrong? My energy level is basically at zero every day. I have Myelomeningocele. When I was a kid, I was always fine. I had lots of energy, but it seems as I’ve aged my energy level is just worse and worse and worse. I’m almost 46 now. I don’t have energy to even leave my house these days.

Hey everyone,
I’m trying to see if anyone else has been hit by this recently, because up until about three months ago, my setup worked perfectly.
I run an Apple TV 4K plugged into an LG CX OLED. Lately, using the YouTube app has become completely unwatchable due to massive screen flickering. Every single time a video pulls up, the screen blacks out or flickers like crazy trying to find the right resolution for the commercial.
Even when the actual video finally starts, it flickers again, cutting out the first few seconds of audio and video so I constantly have to rewind just to catch what I missed.
I have system-wide Match Dynamic Range and Match Frame Rate turned ON, and all my other apps (Netflix, Apple TV+, etc.) work flawlessly. It is only the YouTube app causing this nightmare loop because of how it aggressively forces format resets during ad injections.
I’ve tried a clean reinstall of the YouTube app, hard resetting the Apple TV, and disabling "Playback in Feeds" inside the app settings—absolutely nothing works.
I absolutely do NOT want to turn off my global tvOS Match Content settings just to fix one broken app, because I need those features to work properly for my movie streaming apps.
Is anyone else noticing this starting up all of a sudden over the last few months? Has anyone found a way to stop the LG CX from dropping the signal completely during YouTube's ad transitions without breaking their global Apple TV settings?
Thanks!

Hey everyone,
I’m looking to see if fiber users on the major national networks (AT&T, Google Fiber, Fios, Quantum, etc.) have ever run into a weird performance issue where your speed tests look great on paper, but your actual daily browsing feels laggy or slow.
To clarify, I don’t have any of these large companies. My provider is actually a very small, rural fiber ISP out in West Central Missouri. Because they are a smaller utility, I want to check with customers on the massive networks to see if this is a universal fiber behavior or if it's unique to my rural provider's routing.
I am paying for a 1 Gbps symmetrical fiber profile. The local field tech came out, completely overhauled my line with a brand-new physical drop to the house, and gave me an upgraded, high-end ONT and router setup.
If I look at my numbers, my hardware seems completely perfect:
Downloads are flying: My download speeds consistently hit between 850 Mbps and 940 Mbps.
Ping is ultra-low: My baseline ping is great, around 6ms to 8ms, and my packet loss is a perfect 0.00%.
Streaming is fine once it starts: If I pull up a heavy 4K video on YouTube and check the "Stats for Nerds," the stream pulls data flawlessly without dropping any frames.
But here is the catch—my upload speeds on standard internet tests are hitting a hard wall, stuck between 165 Mbps and 200 Mbps.
Because of this upload restriction, my actual daily internet use on my iPhone and Apple TV feels sluggish. When I tap a standard web page or open a basic app, the loading wheel spins for a few seconds before the page finally snaps open. It feels like my phone is struggling to send out the initial "request" to the website, even though the download lane is wide open.
Bypassing my router completely and plugging a desktop computer directly into the raw fiber box out of the wall results in the exact same matching download speeds but the same clamped upload limit. The tech support team noted it might be a regional gateway traffic jam or a backend account profile glitch.
For those of you with major fiber providers: Have you ever experienced a hidden upload bottleneck like this where your downloads are perfect, but the actual responsiveness of your apps feels heavy or slow to load? Did your ISP have to rebuild your account profile on their servers to finally get your speeds matching at full capacity?
Would love to hear if this happens from time to time on your networks!

Hi everyone, just checking in. I hope everyone is ok from the insanity of the rain storm and all the power outages! My thoughts and prayers are with those affected!

I know, I get it! I posture a lot! However, I feel like there’s something that can still be done with my connection to make it better. It’s perfect coming from the ONT. I’ve tested it from my router app Speedtest which is built into the app. Also I’ve checked it on a wired desktop. I am absolutely getting the speeds I pay for. I do believe that my ISP is suffering from bufferbloat though. While I can’t MAKE them change it. I can and have told them the issues occurring with my connection. They assure me they are looking to it. It’s a small rural ISP so im hoping they are trying a bit harder due to the fact that they are not one of the major conglomerate ISP’s. WiFi for me seems to be a major issue. I just don’t know how to tune it right I guess every router is different. Just as every ISP, modem or ONT is different. All I can say is that my grandma is my personal care attendant and she absolutely MUST clock in and out at a very precise time in order to be paid. There is absolutely no wiggle room!!!! The company are very particular and really don’t care for excuses. I just really need to get this all working correctly. I had a field technician to my home on Tuesday and he actually witnessed how my connection over WiFi especially is acting. He provided me a brand new fiber wire to connect to the ONT also he provided me with a brand new upgraded ONT. He as well as the man he called for help were both stumped. The man he spoke with however said he would “look into it”. I hope he means it. I can’t figure the issue can be too bad since I pay for 1 gig symmetrical and when I do a Speedtest on my desktop PC, I’m getting 940+/940+ most times. Especially if I start my computer up in safe mode with networking. If I do that and I do a speed test, I get even higher than if I Speedtest with the PC connected directly to the ONT or with it connected to the router. And started up normally. I’ve tried just about everything I can think of. Something is wrong somewhere, but I just can’t seem to pinpoint as to where. And I have seen people on here who have similar issues and are stumped as well. I just I guess need to have someone help me understand what may be going on. Again, I know I’ve asked this a lot and I’m sure you guys have all provided me with the correct answers, but maybe you could find it within yourself to do it again? It’s been a very stressful 24 hours for our family! My grandmother had to be admitted into the hospital last night due to very high blood pressure. She’s home now and resting, which is wonderful but still I just really need some help here. I don’t mean to be a pest by any means. If I have bothered any of you, I wholeheartedly apologize and honestly could not apologize enough because that is not ever been my intention to irritate anyone.

Any of you that are members of this particular subreddit, do any of you actually work for a fiber Internet company and install the brand of ONT for a living to consumers? I have a question about my actual connection quality. I’m in a small town in Missouri with a very rural fiber ISP. It’s called Co-Mo Connect. I just had a service technician come to my house today to address some of the issues I’ve been having. He ended up not only installing brand new fiber into my home, but he also connected it to a brand new different model ONT that I have been using. Same brand just a different model. I had the Calix GigaPoint 803G. I now am using the Calix GigaPoint GP1100G. Still having very odd behavior but it seems to be only affecting Apple products. I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max and an Apple TV 4K wired. Upload speeds are low while download is fine.

Hi everyone, I posted on here a few weeks ago asking if anyone here used the ISP Co-Mo Connect, it is a 1 gbps fiber ISP out of Tipton, Missouri. I know that a few of you here commented back and said that you in fact, do have that ISP so I wanted to ask again because tomorrow I have one or their technicians coming to my home. I’m wondering if my issue is local to my town or if it is ISP wide or even region wide. I have tons of packet drops whenever I connect my fiber ONT into my desktop PC. I also have some whenever I have my PC going into my router. I was wondering, maybe if any of you could possibly run the same test that I ran to the same address that I used and see if you too have packet loss. I don’t mean to bother anybody, but I just thought I would ask here because this is a Missouri Reddit page. I figured nobody, but here would really have the same ISP as me. I kind of wanna know just what to tell the technician tomorrow.

I ran a standard ping test using cmd prompt and I typed ping 8.8.8.8 -t

I let it run for about three hours. I had over 101 dropped packets in that period of time.

I just had it going from my PC via an ethernet cable straight into the fiber ONT. No router was involved. If anyone who has this ISP would happen to be able to test this from your connection I would be eternally grateful to see what your results say after even just an hour. You don’t have to disconnect your Wi-Fi. Just leave your router connected and do the Ping test. Preferably on a ethernet connected PC. Thank you so much. I appreciate you all!

I have a technician visit scheduled for Tuesday. I am currently running a ping test to the Google server. I’m experiencing lots of time outs and ping spikes. Currently, I’m doing the test with my desktop connected to my router. Tomorrow I’m going to do a morning and evening test and I’m gonna do them with the PC connected directly to the fiber ONT. once I gather all the information from all three of these tests, how much irrefutable proof will I have for my ISP to actually fix the issue? I don’t want them coming here and telling me that they see nothing wrong because clearly I am looking at my PC screen right now and am seeing lots of dropped packets. What are the chances of this being that I have a very rural fiber ISP? I am suposed to be receiving 1 gbps symmetrical speeds. Every time I do a Speedtest on my PC the speeds are good. I want whatever the issue is fixed. I don’t want them wasting their time coming out here only to tell me that there’s nothing wrong. How do I apply the right amount of pressure so that they will have no choice but to fix the issue and look at each and every piece of equipment that my connection goes through?

I currently use an iPhone 11 Pro Max and an Asus ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro router. Is there a way to stop all my WiFi devices from going offline randomly? It’s happening to all my devices. Wired too. Not all at the same time. Just throughout the day. I don’t pretend to know mush about all this stuff so I don’t know what to look for but with the research I’ve done it seems the word deauth is a dirty word and it shows up quite often in my router logs. There are other code words im finding out about too. All basically mean the router connection is not stable. Did I get a lemon? Google searches suggest this is a top of the line router.

Just curious, does anyone have this kind of a set up? I do and I have some issues now and again. I have some questions. How for those view that has higher than a 1 gbps symmetrical fiber Connection. When I load a show whether it’s live streaming or on demand sometimes I will get a short term loading ring before the program starts. Just trying to find out if this is normal or is it my connection?

Does anyone happen to have this soundbar and know how to do this? I can’t seem to get it figured out. I’ve had the sound bar for about six years.
