They've fixed the paths they established. You might want to consider using a VPN, though it could increase latency. I'm also on a cable service... The latency I've logged goes to my ISP's DHCP servers.
SB8200 offers 2Gb performance through dual links with connection sharing.
Typically once information departs your residence it becomes outside your control. The same applies to the ISP—once it moves beyond their infrastructure it’s no longer under their management. Physical separation from the server might explain the increased latency, though others have noted this matches performance with coaxial connections. I observed ping values around 13 ms on Comcast (a coax provider) during speed tests, yet when playing ARK with my friend who also hosts the server, it’s 60 ms. I’m in Michigan while my friend is in Colorado, both using the same ISP. You should also consider needing a secondary IP address for this setup. It’s unclear if most providers accommodate such usage now. Modems like the S33 feature a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port; I’m confident their default speed is capped at around 940 Mbps, especially on Comcast’s network.
The GBE and TCP overhead cap at 920-940mbps. This means your NIC is restricted to 940mbps even if it's trained for 1gb, while a 2.5gb NIC would be limited by the modem settings.
It varies by setup; the ISP can combine them into a single logical connection, keeping one IP address, though performance might suffer—still around 1Gbps per device.
