High Latency Under Load.

I've getting very high idle latency and sometime high latency underload for download and upload, tech was already out replacement my modem and still having some types of issue, can you please escalate this and take a look at my local node to see if there is any congestion issues going on, thank you.  I'm running a hardwired setup with cat6e

Having the same issue with upload latency under load.  Ran tracert from the cmd line and it appears to be the first hop.  Definitely impacting gaming negatively.

Howdy austinp 👋 I appreciate you reaching out to us for help with the latency issues you're going through because I know from personal experience how hindering dealing with a connection like that can be. Rest assured, we'll do everything we need to get your connection strong and stable again 💪

To start, when the technician was over at your home for the connection issues, did they communicate that they identified any issues either in home or at the node itself? Their diagnostic checks will cover the node, so any red flags should lead them to schedule further work if needed.

No they did not say there were any issues I used to be able to play games no issues now it seems like a issue with high ping which is terrible

Okay gotcha. I know firsthand how annoying it is to try and game with an inconsistent connection, so we'll do everything we can for sure. Can you share what you're currently using to game and if your connection is normally wireless or hard-wired?

Thanks for confirming those details, @austinp. Are you only having issues with your PS5? Are the issues only when you are gaming?
