Frontier's own speedtest page is 404

HooRU Read again, tests are all over the place and no it is not my hardware that hasn’t changed in years.

Has the software on that hardware changed?

HooRU

No, I’m not a dummy.

HooRU

5 different browsers, 2 different computers, wired connection.

Evidently they are changing runs from the central office or elsewhere, but I’m not the only one seeing it as posted here.

HooRU

That’s not very good to Dallas.

MacLeech

HooRU No, I’m not a dummy.

So you’re still using the exact versions of software from years ago? No browser version updates, no OS version updates? No changes in browser extensions or anti-malware apps?

You don’t think the speed test software has been updated in that time either? Maybe that was done while it was offline.

Multiple people have seen multiple browsers and OSs on multiple computers report funky results from speed tests on multiple ISPs that seem to go away when using the app.

Just sayin… things can change. It may not be hardware related. More testing would be recommend.

Use an iperf test. Take the GUI and crap out of it.

https://iperf3serverlist.net/

iperf3 -R -c ash.speedtest.clouvider.net -p 5201

If it make you feel better though, you can keep believing
“They are changing runs from the central office or elsewhere“
Or maybe a truck was parked over the underground fiber.

MacLeech I have used all 3 ways to test speed, browser, app and through router. If 1 of those seems rather quirky, it’s not to hard to figure out where issue is usually. 9 times out of 10 it’s the particular server/site I’m using.

I know where you’re coming from though and I usually take speed test results with a grain of salt as even since being on Frontier, I haven’t really had any issues that are of any major concern, even if I’ve questioned it here but that was probably due to not knowing what to expect after 30+ years of being on cable internet.

geek

cork1958 Also, you are testing something that has one use case (speed to/from x server). If that’s all you do with your connection, great.

I bet most would ikely be happy with sites that feel snappy, games that don’t lag, a 4k video conference that is clear, multiple 4k streams running,and the occasional big download or upload that doesn’t take a day. Is 3 minutes too long to wait to download a Linux distro?
IMO - Latency > Speed 😉. Fiber gives you that too

iperf Done.

HooRU

What about latency and upstream?

HooRU

Yes, latency can be more important and it sucks I just did a test and the latency was 75ms and jitter was 252ms for fiber that’s not very good. They ARE doing work and have been for a few weeks. It used to be fantastic all around. Remember that Verizon just aquired Frontier and they only JUST added ipv6 here. The Gui is not the issue.

HooRU

Jitter has gotten worse in 7 out of 10 tests

HooRU

My point remains: Speed tests are all over the place even at the same time. It’s chaotic.

geek

Maybe drop the ipv6 and see if it improves? Trying to eliminate all the variables.

iperf3 -4 -R -V -c ash.speedtest.clouvider.net

I think you asked about upload ..just remove the -R

iperf3 -4 -c -V ash.speedtest.clouvider.net -p 5201

HooRU

Granted, besides the limitations, CLI is more ideal.

HooRU

Yes, maybe that could be it.

HooRU

I’ll reset my Eero for IPV4 later.

geek

HooRU you shouldn’t even need to do that. The -4 does that
