Comcast in California is shifting to fiber, which might cause minor ping issues. Better uptime is expected, though dropping 100 downloads isn’t a big deal. Upload speeds could affect certain tasks.
Time of day hasn't been a major concern. They've dealt with signal/noise problems that affected performance for some time. It looks like storms and similar issues can disrupt the entire region. I'm not sure if fiber really improves things in this situation. I don't have any experience with it.
Most residential fiber is shared bandwidth with neighbors using pon solutions to split the fiber near the homes. There is normally much more bandwidth do share though. Id switch to fibre, that upload speed is nice, and it just generally works better.
I chose fiber for its cost and performance, especially since my 400 meg wasn’t delivering much value. My experience shows a big jump in speed—now I get 500 meg on Wi-Fi via my phone, compared to just 40 with cable. Fiber’s stability is impressive; it hasn’t dropped yet even though it’s not buried everywhere. On the downside, ATT is the provider, which makes me curious about ways to keep my network strong without relying on them. I’m planning a home security setup with storage and a NAS or SAN, and I want tips on blocking ads and traffic using a Raspberry Pi. Where should I start?
It's referred to as a VPN. You have the option to join a subscription or rent a VPS to set up your own. Keep in mind that platforms like Netflix may attempt to restrict access through VPN usage, so be mindful of this.
