Have had FIOS for upwards to almsot a year, no problems save for a little bottle neckin' here and there on rare occasions.
But in the past 2 days something weird's been going on.
My internet speeds are fine, the connection is up, and I can watch media no problem.
But online gaming, and attempting any sort of communication through VOIP's (Skype, Teamspeak, Raidcall, etc.) and I have so many of these 'small' lagspikes! Ping stys steady at around 30-50ms, then suddenly jumps to 1k-3K MS, what the hay?!
Did a tracer test, as well as using ping plotter, and noticed I was having numerous amounts of packet loss, using google as my test domain.
Attempted to contact verizon customer service, but I was told there doesn't 'seem' to be anything wrong and that it was not with verizon networks.
Plan information:
Verizon FiOS Internet Service
50/50
Router: FiOS GigE Wireless "N" Router
Lazy spoiler text with my cmd tracer test and ping plotter results.
If you guys need any other information, please let me know!
