To be fair, seeing $40* emblazoned all over everything Sonic frustrated me every time I saw it, as it's just not true. * $40 inclusive of a $10/mo discount for new customers only, but exclusive of $10/mo mandatory** modem rental. ** Mandatory according to the phone reps but not the employees posting to the forums when you guys started rolling out fiber in 94116. Boy that mandatory Pace unit was hot garbage to put it charitably.dane wrote:Now that you've figured out the problem, will you edit the subject line for this post?

Firstly - Flow control, had to turn that off
Second - The power adapter to the ONT was not supplying enough power!! This drove me nuts to figure out but got a new power supply and its working! speed is now 2X
Third - Updated NIC driver got 15% perf boost
Fourth - Changed speedtest software to ooklah speedtest cli (slightly faster speeds somehow but only another 10%)
Upload is still terrible however downloading is looking great

Now, any rational person might wonder why I'm up at 2AM posting. Well, it turns out the 10G service (94606) is waaaaaaaaaaay flakier and waaaaaaaaay less reliable than the 1G service (94116) I used to have using the same gigabit hardware hooked up to the ONT at both locations. The intermittent packet loss and latency spikes have mostly subsided but now here we are with an indefinite "maintenance" window. An E60 M5 by any other name…
