I recently relocated from the first floor to the second floor and set up my fiber modem in the new space. Now my internet speed changes a lot—sometimes it drops to just 2 or even 1 Mbps when it was 4 Mbps. I also tried using an Ethernet cable, but the issue remains. No one else is connected to my Wi-Fi, so I’m sure there’s something specific here. Anyone have any suggestions?
I needed to reach out to my ISP to relocate the modem and cables up to the second floor. The black box, which changes a black wire to yellow, got jammed between the grills of my old room, so I had to contact them to reroute the wire and reattach it on the higher level. Currently, the yellow wire remains straight, but my internet speed is still slower than normal.
I believe these figures are merely examples, as the speeds seem reminiscent of DSL-era performance. Wire color doesn't provide any useful insight. This appears to be an issue exclusive to the ISP—reach out to them for a technician to investigate. Make sure to mention the speeds you're billed for versus what you actually receive over Ethernet. Re-test the connection before the technician departs.
They could be referring to MB or MiB, since many ISPs market VDSL as fiber. However, it definitely doesn’t feel like genuine fiber.
