Alexandre, My fiber service is 15/5; 15Mbits/sec down and 5Mbits/sec up. That's well weithin the 100Mbits/sec and 12MB (since it's only about 1.9MB) you show as limits. > I'd recommend configuring the static IP information on a computer/laptop > and doing a speedtest with the computer connected directly to the modem to > ensure you are getting the "advertised" speed you should be getting on > your plan, I would expect you to get the results you are looking for... Tried this while the Frontier tech was on the phone. Modified a laptop's eth0 port for Frontier's static IP address, subnet mask, and gateway; their DNS severs are in /etc/resolv.conf on that and the desktop. Could not load any web page connected directly to the fiber.
