Spectrum latency issue on load

Don't know anything about Spectrum's EPON fiber. My knowledge comes from a background in Optimum's RF plant, but this is my personal issue here. When I put the Spectrum ONU under a sustained load, the latency goes through the roof and it says there are dropped packets.

Any thoughts on this from the spectrum technicians out there?

Sorry about the really wide windows screen snip

More bandwidth or something else?

Is this behavior do to low bandwidth or something else I have fiber to my house to a huawei router and from it comes out the coax to the “cable boxes” on the TVs

What am I doing wrong here? I keep leaving dielectric behind.

Been practicing some stripping with my Jonard Tools stripper which is this one. But I have been leaving some dielectric behind like shown in the picture.

I was told that leaving behind some, would create a suck out. So I am kinda scratching my head here as to why my stripper isnt doing the job properly. I have followed all the instructions as shown for the stripper.

Not a cable tech, but have ran a few outlets in my home. Since my home wires are my responsibility.
