FFStudios posted:I'm supposed to have FiOS Quantum 50/25 but my download speed is fluctuating wildly from 48Mb/s to 1Mb/s and I feel like this has something to do with Verizon's notoriously lovely ActionTec router/modem combos. I can barely download Youtube videos, and that's only if I let them sit for 5-10 minutes. Highly disappointed and I really wish I could swap in my own modem or router for better performance. You can. I have FiOS at home and use a Watchguard firewall as my router. Assuming you don't have TV or phone through them:
You can still do it if you have TV/Phone (I have TV), but the topology is a little more complex, since you need to use the ActionTec as a MoCA bridge. http://www.dslreports.com/faq/16626 http://www.dslreports.com/faq/16077 PM me if you need help setting anything up.

Dilbert As gently caress posted:This is awesome because YT is so loving slow on my connection, everything else is perfect While we're showing off, here's a screenshot showing my ludicrously overkill firewall pulling an external IP from Verizon.  My home setup is nicer than most of my customers. And Watchguard gave it to me for free.

Sephiroth_IRA posted:Ugh, moving 5 miles away and now I have to switch to an ISP that has comparable speeds but has data caps. The fact that just watching Netflix in HD could put me over the cap annoys me to no end. H.265 is going to become mainstream in the coming years, but it won't be enough to stop increasing bandwidth demands.

What the gently caress, Verizon? I appreciate the free upgrade to symmetric internet, but what's the point if I can only ever get those speeds on your speed test servers?

Methylethylaldehyde posted:Cap is bumped to 900 GB this month, which is enough that I really don't feel the data crunch unless I go hog loving wild with the downloading and ultra-HD streaming. They're getting ready for 1 gbit cable plans with a 1.2-1.5 TB/month cap on them, which is kinda fair since everything has to go through like 4 undersea fiber lines to get to the rest of the world anyways. Stop defending lovely practices that lead to 3rd world infrastructure. These are my statistics from the last week. I'm considering upgrading to the next tier (150/150), but another $55/mo is more than I want to spend.

Agreed. If you need a WAP, get a Ubiquiti. Normal: http://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-Networks-UniFi-Enterprise-System/dp/B004XXMUCQ Long Range: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005H4CDF4/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1944579862

A tier 1 provider like Level 3 or Cogent would probably run fiber for free if you signed a 1 year contract. They're not cheap, but if you need the bandwidth....

doomisland posted:W-hat. It all depends on if there's fiber in the building, and if not where it is, what permits they need, roads to cross, etc etc I doubt they'll run it for free, especially on a 1 year contract, ESPECIALLY level3. If they have potential other customers in the building that will help too. You can always check for yourself. http://diapricing.level3.com/ Level 3 is willing to run to my house for free with a 1 year contract. But then again, they own a dark fiber line <50 ft from my front door.

Antillie posted:Yeah I know. I just think the way they do their pricing is funny. At the moment I am technically paying for speed I am not getting. I'm sure they would have happily let that continue had you not said anything. That's why I like my FiOS service - "Here's your GbE handoff from the ONT. Have fun!"

Thauros posted:I'm planning on switching from my current Internet only Comcast subscription (I'm now getting charged $83 a month for Blast and I even own my modem) to Verizon Fios now that it's available in my neighborhood and I'd probably get tv as well. If you get your own router and you have TV, you still need to use their router as a MoCA bridge. That's how I have mine set up, but it's not officially supported and requires you know at least a little about networking. You also need to call them and ask them to pretty-please release your DHCP lease on their end unless you clone the Verizon router's MAC address.

Thauros posted:Oh. When I read about people doing that with a google search I assumed it was people wanting to use a better quality router for Wi-Fi coverage alongside their FiOS router. I was planning on buying an official Verizon router like this one before ordering the service and hoping not to have to rent one. Is that not possible? Oh yeah, if you're using a Verizon router it will work fine. Make sure the one you use supports the speeds you're ordering. Also, I don't pay a monthly fee for my router, so

Rolo posted:I have an ISP question in regards to me possibly getting sued for crazy amounts of Filez downloaded 6 months before I had rented the modem listed in the subpoena. This a good place to ask about ISP law stuff or can I get pointed in the right direction? I don't steal from the Internet and I'm not asking how to avoid getting caught. Call a lawyer.

Find the closest person on your street with access. Offer to straight-up pay for their internet if they are willing to split it with you. Install a pair of these somewhere with line of sight between them. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0049AVWAO/ Congratulations on becoming your own WISP.

Naffer posted:You know I see this advice from time to time, but there is absolutely no chance I would ever give someone access to internet service in my name. It's just too risky. Maybe I would feel differently with a very clear contract and if they paid for the cable in THEIR name. Probably depends on how old and/or tech savvy the person you ask is. Vulcan posted:Also there's going to be an issue that requires restarting the router right during the middle of your poopsock raid night and the neighbor isn't going to be home when you call. Get a router with SSH, scrub.

computer parts posted:And at the other extreme, you have people who desperately want a gigabit down even though it's only useful if you have five simultaneous 4k Netflix streams going on. A 4k Netflix stream is ~25Mbps. Gigabit is mostly useful for applications we haven't thought of yet, but require a decent population of people already able to utilize them to be viable.

Kakesu posted:Will the 2011 actually do gigabit WAN-LAN in real-world consumer scenarios (i.e. NAT)? My 450G caps at around 300-350 Mbit with the CPU pegged at 100%, and the 2011 has a slower processor than that does. It says it can in the performance test results at the bottom as long as you're using large packet sizes. No idea how it holds up in real life; I have a stupidly overpowered Watchguard XTM 5 series at home.

Plan Z posted:So, I'm renting a room from a couple who refuse to use anything but DSL in their home. They pay something like at least $60/mo. for 300 kb/s downloads, mostly because it comes as part of their phone package from Verizon. If one person watches a Youtube video, nobody can do anything, much less if they stream a show on DirecTV, which makes the connection unusable (They launch the episode, then pause it while it buffers for like 20 minutes). They insist DSL is the best and everyone uses it because it "just works" even when it's down for no good reason. Meanwhile all of our neighbors have stuff like FIOS and Xfinity. Nothing stopping you, as long as the people you're renting from are okay with it.
