That's strange cause i'm over by canandaigua and the tech said 74.37.224.1 is in bloomfield.
i do have a legitimate business mostly do order forms and a bit of gaming on frontier so i'm looking for the lowest latency haha should i bother asking for EOC? and i forgot to mention the tech told me i need to change modems currently on a DG834GT running DGteam the problem with changing over to the netgear 7550 they gave me is i switch to a whole different CO and my dl/ul sink along with 500+ pings just wondering if EOC is different from the old T1s or can i stay on this modem?
That would be correct. It's the way Frontier is handling traffic for my area. It goes to Bloomfield which then eventually makes it way to Rochester.
As for the EOC, I wouldn't say it's as comparative to a T1 as it is to getting a Metro Ethernet connection to your home. Switching modems shouldn't get you to another CO but it could be possible that due to some load balancing you were routing through some other equipment when your newer modem pulled an IP address. Hard to say without having some historical data to go by.
I may have been wrong to say a whole different CO not sure but the gateway IP changes and that's when i get problems i've always been on the same subnet (255.255.248.0) i can only remember a few old gateway IPs some trace to bloomfield(74.44.131.1) some to rochester (74.40.61.102) for some reason its better to go to bloomfield then rochester then just straight there. With the DG834 i'm able to spoof my MAC and sometimes i switch to a different gateway 74.37.224.1 is the best i have found. frontiers routing is not the best wish i had cable at this point.
just wondering if EOC is different from the old T1s or can i stay on this modem?
