So i have a fiber connection to the internet with a 150/150 package from frontier. when i ping 8.8.8.8, i typically get a ping time of 9 to 10 ms. but when i put a load on the connection, it spikes to 110-150 ms ping. Is this normal for a fiber connection?

Have you tried any other IP address's? Maybe it is just that specific one. It also wouldn't seem odd that a network under load would be slower than one that isn't although that is substantially slower. Try to do some more testing with other ip's

You all have no idea what you're talking about.

 

If you're saturating your connection you will observe latency as your packets are queued and compete for bandwidth that isn't readily available.

How much of a load? If you load the whole connection up, yes, the latency will go up normally. It's packet war in the router as mentioned above.

 

I'm able to usually keep 50% load and still have 8-9ms ping, but if i flood the connection, ping shoots up as expected.

 

Oh, are you using the Fios Quantum Router?

Without enabling QoS and capping the upload rate to slightly lower than your maximum then yes, that is normal.

WiFi5: Ubiquiti NanoHD OpenWRT (~500Mbit at 80Mhz) Switches: Netgear MS510TXUP, MS510TXPP, GS110EMX

I'd be curious to have more details.  How are you stressing the network?  Are you pinging from the same device that is causing the stress?  It could be a bottleneck with the NIC on your device trying to push whatever you are using to stress the network.  Try pinging and stressing from two different devices on the LAN and see if you still have higher times on your ping.
