I am currently with Cox and have the 300/30 plan with a base ping around 25ms. I have been having congestion issues lately and my pings are not that consistent with random spiking above 80-130ms. From what I understand is a VDSL line is a dedicated line, so you should have less congestion and a more stable ping. I am considering CenturyLink's 40mbps (FTTN) plan. Unfortunately, they do not offer FTTH (fiber to the home) in my neighborhood.
I am looking for input from users that have CenturyLink as their provider. What are your pings? How is the jitter and overall quality of your connections(ping plotter)? How consistent are your speeds? Also looking for gaming input (better or worse than cable?).
Also, if I do decide to go with CenturyLink, does anyone have a preferred VDSL modem? I would prefer to purchase my own vs renting.
And.. Cable or DSL/Fiber? Which works better for gaming?
