Just thought I'd try these forums while I wait on hold with tech support. I recently signed up with Verizon and have an 85mb download and 35mb upload with my FiOS connection. I use Mumble for voice communication when I'm gaming with some buddies. Ever since I switched over to Verizon FiOS, I've had nothing but trouble with this program. Anywhere from 5 minutes to SEVERAL HOURS into being logged onto the program everyone starts telling me that my voice is robotic or starts cutting out intermittently. my pings and connections in games, websites, etc are always 100% fine, it is just this program where I have the issue. I had a much slower connection (especially on upload) with my old provider and never had a single issue.
I've tried several different methods to fix the issue, including port forwarding, traffic shaping (QoS - but I have no idea if this even did anything because it is impossible to find good documentation on it), turning off the firewall completely, changing settings on the client (Mumble) itself all to no avail. My voice may improve for a few minutes, but then it is right back to square one. When I check my "statistics" on the client it'll show 10-40% UDP packet loss, sometimes higher....
Is there a possibility that Verizon is restricting my connection with the Mumble server I'm connected to? What else can I try? I'll see where this call with Tech Support goes, but if it is anything like any other cable, internet, mobile phone company I've dealt with in the past, I'm not expecting miracles.
Any insight anyone can provide is greatly appreciated.
