I mean, it is fairly brave to post such a thing right in the moderator's lair.

Gosh, what a moron.

Well, at least one of them is alright, lol. What's wrong with the other one?

Yikes. Well, I hope they're not a nightmare and that they actually do contribute to the household.

Okay. How many people do you share an apartment with?

Are you at a university?

Well, cellular is never that great to begin with. And in my personal experience, 5G is most commonly worse than 4G. Slower and the latency is not really that much better. I guess that's the issue with cellular. It's also a shared medium and the speed rises and falls based on how many users use it.

What do you mean with "5G"? Do you mean the cellular technology (successor to LTE) or do you mean 5 GHz WiFi?

Does any provider offer fiber? If so, go for that. You'll fairly likely never have that issue again. If it's not significantly more expensive, definitely go for that.

But this pretty much proves my point. That's why I'll never get a cable connection. Either DSL (if it's 50+ Mbit/s), fiber, or nothing. Media where you don't have the "last mile" for yourself always lead to issues like this. So you do not actually need to worry about your motherboard not working appropriately. It's "just" your internet connection.

Yeah, then that's expected. That garbage promises high speeds that they are pretty much never able to fully deliver, and during prime time, it's not uncommon that their infrastructure is so overloaded that the speeds tank and the latency increases. Unless they actually physically extend their infrastructure and use more fiber and split the frequencies more so that the users have more channels to themselves, there's nothing that they can actually do. They can try mitigating the problem in software, but they'll never fully solve it.

No, it couldn't be because your wireless-capable devices are most likely connected right to the router over WiFi. Not to mention that you said that you contacted them already and the thing they did at that time seemed to help for a short amount of time. If it were within your network, nothing that they did would have helped. Let me guess, it's a cable internet service? (cable as in coaxial)

It is the internet connection, simple as that. Maybe the ISP you're using is experiencing issues. If it didn't happen on your other devices but only on your desktop over Ethernet, it would be the Ethernet adapter or the cable. Since it happens on all devices in your network, it's the ISP. Maybe try rebooting your router and see if re-syncing fixes the issue. If it doesn't, maybe contact your ISP. That definitely sounds like some issue with your internet connection.

That sounds rather like your internet connection, not like the Ethernet adapter. You tried using WiFi on your desktop and on your phone and it has the same issue? Well, in that case it can't be the Ethernet adapter.

It's so-so, and how are you doing?
