| Should i be getting more? Just wondering the most my line will do and why i'm seeing high pings
 thanks for any help. |
|
| Did your high pings just start? My pings gave been everywhere.
You should get about 6mbps tops. |

| just talked to my friend who works at frontier says they are changing my remote from 4 T1's to some ethernet over copper apparently it was only running on 1 T1 while they changed it over not sure if they are done or not but pings are better!.. will i be using the EOC or stay on dsl? |

That third hop in the trace looks too familiar.
As mentioned above, I don't see 6Mbps out of the ballpark for that line. Expect it to settle at 5Mbps/768kbps stably though. |

You'll still have DSL, the EOC is just just from the CO (or wherever) to the remote, not from the remote to the home.
If they were smart they woulda just put in fiber. But EOC is cheap. |

Hi smith you're familiar with that hop? and i was hoping for around 8mbps with low errors that's what it says the max is in the previous pic. anyway frontier would swing EOC my way for a business connection? thanks again |

They may, but in my area they do not allow Residential locations to get a Business circuit unless you have a legitimate business at a residential location. But yes I do recognize that hop. My DSL connection runs through the same point. I believe most other connections in my area go through the same point as well.
You could probably get 8Mbps with few errors on an ADSL2+ circuit but you won't be getting 8Mbps out of that circuit I'm afraid. If you do, it's likely to be error-prone and unstable. |

| 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. |
