Lol. You had a grin on your face this entire video. You are definitely ecstatic.
I guess 11ms is good for the middle of no where in CT lol
This was me 3 years ago when I finally got fios at my place. I have never been happier with Interent before fios.
Congratulations on joining the gigabit club! The main thing I use the upload speed for, is offsite backups. I must push 60GB every other night up to Backblaze.
On the UDM-PRO, I ran speed tests and then turned on the Intrusion Detection System and found that it had no impact on speed, but I only have 1 Gb symetric. It would be interesting if you turned that on and saw a difference. Ubiquiti says the UDM-PRO can handle 3.5Gb with IDS turned on.
Congrats on that insanely fast connection! Living the dream.
No more buffering 🔥🔥🔥well done to your new proper and reliable connection.
been watching for awhile. So happy to see you finally get more upload.
I've found that Steam will often be processor limited when downloading at around gig speeds, due to the compression they use and it using just one core for it (unless something has changed recently, that is.)
Congrats Lon!! :)
By the way those static ipv4 IP addresses are very valuable considering that there was races among companies to get the last remaining and available IP v4 addresses!
Enjoy your fiber!!
You remind me of the time I got the Gig cable connection 2 years ago and went from 100/12 to 950/42. It was a mind blowing experience, like before with going from dial up to 3/384 cable back in 2004. If you're looking for a use for all that speed,set streams and vids to 4K, highest rates possible, with 1080 and highest rates possible at a minimum. Good use of that. Also, set up the 1G connection for the rest of the house to use while you glut on the 2G. Screw that Netgear router. Use your own equipment and keep that other one in the box. Congrats on your hard work. Your life has changed forever 😎
I have the same speeds roughly... I usually get 920/42 but yeah super close.
Congratulations on your great upgrade, from the UK
Wanted to say "thanks Lon" for letting me know about Comcast Gig. I just called and got my speed upped to the "gig" plan. I was unaware it was even available in my little rural area. Just bought(and received) 2x of the Qnap multigig switches you showed for each end of my house.
I just wish my Synology 918+ had a 10gig or even a 2.5gig network card upgrade available for it!
I am envious of you for being able to get this service. I was able to get the gig service mentioned in this series where the upload is 35 Mbps, but I wish it was possible to get gigabit pro. As I am not a content creator, its hard to justify the price.
Lon, I did not realize that ecstaticallyhappy was one word! In that case, I am
hyperoverjoyed you have solved your connection problems.
I am so happy for you. It is nice when you real broadband!! It is truly unreal!!
i was like u 2 years ago when i first had fios installed im loving it also
Everyone head over to Lon's house to upload your videos!! He got extra to spare! Lon, Just charge phone to use your Internet lol
Congrats on the new connection! I'm jealous! Enjoy it! Have you ever considered starting a Discord server, if only for your Pateron patrons? I think that'd be a cool way to interact with fans/supports in a more live format. Just an idea and if you don't do it then I'll understand. Great video!
Would love to see a cable management video.
As someone whose basement has flooded multiple times those routers/switches whatever's on the floor make my stomach feel funny.
Me too
Funky groovy man! Big congrats!
So jealous of your bandwidth. Just awesome!
Welcome to the fiber club! I am fortunate to have a choice of 3 providers; Two coax technology, and Verizon FIOS. If you were in the Boston area you would pay $40/mo for Gigabit, promotion includes 1 yr Disney+. To put in perspective many remote learners rely on cell service if lucky.
10:41 The trees look nice and green a like healthy broccoli.🥦 🥦🥦😍... now I’m craving it.🥺
Lon your network room is the thing of nightmares LOL get on that cable management.
You should try streaming a few 4K videos to a remote location. No transcoding needed. Yum 😋
Either way, 300 is well worth it for your needs. You are a business and a critical one at that. 😉
I live in Northwestern New Mexico in a rural small town and I've had Comcast in my name for 4 1/2 years and I was paying $190 for 2 years and since December 2022 I now pay $110 for 1.2 Gbps Download it says 35 Mbps upload but I actually get 1.2-1.5 Gbps Download 40-50Mbps Upload Speeds and Love it and what's funny is we have had AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile but no 5G Home Internet and no Fiber from any other company and we have 28-30 Devices, Computers, Laptops, Tablets, 3 Xbox Consoles and Phones and other smart devices and no lag and Unlimited Data I use somewhere between 5-6 Terabytes of data each month and Love it! It's funny how my internet is faster then our local college internet and faster then most others and also found out I am at the end of the Fiber Line as I was told by the Comcast/Xfinity Technician and he said he heard that soon I will be getting the Multi-Gig Rollout by Summer 2023 and that's insane and looking forward to it!! Love Streaming in 4K and gaming in 4K and my ping is 5-6 Milliseconds on Average and my friend who is an Internet Technician and he says I probably have the fastest in internet connection in my area its strange how my neighbors around me can't get it and they are mad so I let a few of them use my Private Wifi which doesn't slow down my connection and they say it's faster then their connection which was a huge surprise!!
Woot! Congrats!
nice upgrades.
Ah Lon! I was hoping your first video after getting the new service would be in 4K! 😁
It's on the to-do list! have to do a bunch of reconfiguration and recalibrating so once I get through my busy season we'll look at that.
It was a long frustrating journey, but it was way worth the persistence. Now, nothing is holding you back.
AT&T dropped selling their DSL service last week. Internet connectivity in the US needs an overhaul, ideally with an expansion of fiber availability. It's just as essential as electricity nowadays
That’s crazy, I hadn’t heard about that.
I wonder if this is all DSL or they are excluding stuff like VDSL or DSL under uverse.
Very envious. We went from 10 up to 50mbps and thought that was great.
Enjoy!
Cant wait for ComCast to start rolling this out in the UK, now that they own Sky Broadcasting in London.
Wow, insane speed. You can stream in 4K now about 100 times over.
He could stream in 16K and still have enough bandwidth to do severel other Tasks. Lol
Just wanted to say I love your videos second is there's two wans on that router I know you know that The RJ45 is a gig and SFP plus is a 10 gig wan with a 10 gig lan under it
I'm personally enjoying Star Wars Squadrons a lot, the VR mode is pretty good and thankfully my computer (which was below recommended VR specs) is able to run Squadrons decently well in VR on low settings. Maybe we could do multiplayer sometime, I'm pretty terrible at multiplayer but I'm getting there. If you wanted, you could use Shadow while you're doing multiplayer, and Shadow even supports VR if you use Virtual Desktop.
Nice speeds! I wish :) share your progress on the cable management, it gives you the excuse to make a video on that
welcome to 2020!
He looks like a kid on Christmas morning 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I use to work for Comcast, the Headend and hub sites are designed purposely to be unassuming for security reasons. More than likely those antennas are doing nothing since all the data on the coax gets to the Headend via fiber.
I really love what you do but can you review the lenovo AIO 3 and tell us how to change the HDMI on it
I was hoping this video was going to be in 4k!
Lon: you should look up some of the videos from Tyler the Antenna Man. You need a deep fringe antenna mounted to your roof, like one of the large classic Channel Master models with a pre-amp and then a diatribution amp in your house.
What to do with extra bandwidth? Setup vLan and secure your data even further or use it for some test scenarios.
Load balance on UDM Pro, bring both fibre and 1 gig on the wan ports then load balance in the settings
With all that bandwidth, time to upload in 4k? :) Edit: answered at the end of the video, thanks! Can't wait to see your 4k uploads at atleast 100mbps bitrate :)
On the Unifi USG-Pros you could link up 2x WAN Uplinks and Loadbalance/Aggregate between them... Would definately something I want to be added to have me switch from the USG 4 Series to the UDM...
But I guess my UDM will not be replacing my USG before I move 500km through the country...
hi i really love what you do but can you do a review on the lenovo all in one AIO 3 and how to switch the HDMI on it❤
I was never able to get IPv6 working on any Ubiquiti UniFi routers. It worked fine when I plugged in a regular off the shelf router so I switched to pfSense and it works perfectly now. pfSense would give you some advanced management over this amount of bandwidth.
You likely had the IPv6 Prefix Delegation setup incorrectly in UniFi...
I guess you can setup your NAS for remote access or manage your own "cloud" software. The limit would be the speed in the remote location. Your house wouldn't be the bottleneck anymore.
@Lon.TV How easy was it to switch your WAN configuration from the 1.0 Gbps copper port on the UDMP to the 10 Gbps SFP+ port within the UniFi OS config screen?
I would love to have gigabit pro. In fact I do not know why someone so close to the fiber would not have the option to go to their epon service for only the instillation fee. That being said I am running their gigabit tier and it works well here. I will say this though I did have problems in the past. I live about one mile from the CMTS and about 1000 yards from the fiber. My neighborhood is about 10 homes that run off the tap. So naturally we arnt fighting for bandwidth since several do not have internet service. Now that brings me to the next place. I moved here after high school while I was joining the army and my mom owned the place. I was also enrolling in college at the time so I got cable internet. All in all it was actually cheaper than what we were paying for dialup just five miles away. The service has been upgraded greatly since then. I initially setup a linksys router and the Media One installers ran me a brand new drop to the link in the woods. My mother moved out of the house while I was in Iraq and I started renting it in 2005 when I returned. There were connection issues so Comcast, who had purchased media one, ran another new drop to the junction box. That was about 130 feet. Finally, in 2010 there was a near lightning strike that fried the drop again and the replaced it yet again. They also replaced the junction box and all of the amps to my house and the neighbors. I get the increased cost of fiber but this would have been one install had they just done fiber to begin with. Not a patch job every few years. There is zero reason for comcast and other cable providers to continue to dump money into Arris communications. When something goes out just replace it with fiber and be done with it. I do not get the difficulty with that other than they seem to want to almost support Arris to the point of making a political statement. I get it they supported them for years but Arris makes an EPON box. If they will not come to terms with pricing just go with another vendor...
Good luck to you. I would also like to know if there is anything in your service agreement about sharing your service. One thing I had floated before the pandemic was I would get the service, front the money for the install, and then offer the 1 gig leg to be shared by my neighbors. That would be very effective now since one of our neighbors has a child with an immune condition. Although it seems like he would be fine if he got it there is still the desire for the entire family to telework. Two kids on zoom and two parents. I would setup a system to provide service to the entire neighborhood that wants to chip in until comcast is willing to transition over to all fiber. That would mean each one would be responsible for point to point UBNT link or doing a GPON install. I would split the cost amongst them to offset the $300 a month service cost. My goal would be to get my cost to $100 a month and that would mean four neighbors would pay $50 each. They would pay less than they are now and get more bandwidth. I know this isnt a business tier so I dont know if it would be under their TOS to setup a LLC and then add them as members?
setup a freenas/unraid server on the spare gigabit line. Run plex on it and you are golden.
"Spare 1gig line". :D
@@hopjeremyI know crazy. well thats what $300 bucks a month plus a expensive install fee costs.
@@huggi2 to be fair, if you can afford it, it's an amazing deal.
Just want to say I love your videos but there's two 10 gig SFP pluses on that router I have the same one one of the wan is RJ45 gig and the other want is SFP plus 10 and the other port underneath the other SFT is just as a 10 gig lan
Hopefully one day comcast will lower the price for gigabit pro. Currently I just have the standard gigabit plan with them which is pretty good. I did have to upgrade my modem to the Arris surfboard SB8200 to take full advantage of my net bandwidth. I would get gigabit pro but I can't justify paying 300 dollars a month plus installation fees unless I was going to split the cost with my neighbor
Not sure why are they limiting your connection to 2Gbps, cause physical media for your connection is 10G. And there is a very low chance that you will use it even 1h per day. But it could become game-changing once it's coming to using any cloud. Like Azure/Onedrive or other private sharing/storage services. Cause again, - there is no risk at all that you will oversubscribe that uplink, but for those 3-10 minutes per day, - it is really important to get that fast connectivity. They should even stimulate users to generate data! Because that is how ISPs are getting money! They are peering with each other and whoever generated more data, - getting more profit.
I did get internet working by putting the WAN block into WAN2 but I also have a block of 5 static IP addresses. I'm curious. Did you get static ip addresses and did you get them working with your UDM-Pro?
Can you not load balance the 2 circuits? You will not be able to get a full 3GB out of the building but you'll be able to prioritise traffic so that (say) youtube uses the 2gb and household surfing uses the 1gb. You'll also be able to make multiple connections to servers concurrently which will help with things like torrent and other things. you may not need to "manage" your bandwidth now but down the line it'll be helpful. the problem I've found with more bandwidth is that it is never enough. You'll always find ways to max out your feed.
Do you get bundled pricing with Gigabit Pro and you TV or are they like billed individually so that’s not possible?
Yellow single mode fiber and the orange is multimode. Multimode used on shorter distances because has a larger core so over distance it more likely to give you loss
I’m watching from the uk 🇬🇧 and compared to what we have access to, it seems odd to have two separate lines coming out of the juniper router 2Gbps + 1Gbps rather than just the one at 3Gbps.
I did think it sounded wise as a redundant option, but as both connections are supplied by the same device (juniper) it seems unlikely that one would fail and the other function… other than that odd point, it looks like you’ve got a sweet setup! I’m eager to see you take out the older equipment to clean things up a tad 😝
My understanding from talking to Comcast is that they have the 1 gig as an option for customers who don't have the ability to access the 2 gig segment. In fact they require you rent a router that connects to that 1 gig leg :).
@@LonSeidman assuming that Comcast are managing the Juniper as their equipment, it sounds like they are splitting the speed across the two lan ports. Can you not ask them to get rid of the 1gb and just send the whole 3Gbps through the SFP+ to the UDM-Pro as it is 10Gbps capable.
@@jimporter No they only allow for the installed configuration. A friend of mine bonded his two connections together.
@@LonSeidman are yo sure he bonded them as that technology would again require control of the Juniper switch or a switch elsewhere. Do you mean he load balanced them in which case you would still only get 1&2Gbps on the individual lines you wouldn’t be able to reach 3Gbps.
@@jimporter I was thinking the same thing I have ATT fiber 1gig symetrical they also have started pushing out 2 and 5 gig packages. However, ATT pushes all of this over 1 port it seems strange to need that 1 gig connection.
Using the Unifi Dream Machine Pro device, what VPN service do you use in conjunction with your gigabit pro service? Does it impact the performance of your connection greatly? Thanks.
I know this is a bit after your video but, I am considering moving to the udm pro.
I have 1gb symmetrical fiber.
In your speed tests, we’re you using the security services on the udm pro? If not, I would be interested in how it affects your overall throughput.
Yes I am using the security settings and able to get the full 2 gigabits of my connection
and here I am upgrading to gigabit routers and switches.
My regular Comcast connection goes out more than I like since my wife and I both work from home. Is the fiber more of a dedicated connection and not subject to the normal outages?
You too? We had been having drop outs at least 2 dozens times a day. It's better now, but it's still iffy at times. I'm clearly not getting the reported 20mb/s though.
@@earthlydescent for while I could set my clock to my outages.
Yes. It is a dedicated enterprise grade connection.
300 bucks for 3Gbps symmetrical, my goodness! Now, I feel lucky paying 38USD for 2.5Gbps up/down symmetrical.
yay lon!
Since I’m in the process of selling our house, It would be nice to know the location of these fiber hubs. The attitudes from this company is like your asking for the codes for the football. I still don’t like “concast” as a company, but the internet works well. I would upgrade to a 100% fiber network.
How will you be able to do reviews and recommendations for us since you won’t be at our internet speed and connection level anymore?
Can pfsense do 10gb? Or does freebsd kernel max out at 5gbs? Time to get a pfsense box with a dual 10gbe card off ebay. Some microfilm 10gbe switches and eBay 10gbe cards for main pcs
I want the details on MacPro on the cheap! :)
i have xfinity gigabit and i only get like 900 down 50 up with 10 ping
when downloading/streaming it drops to 500 down 25 up
half the time the modems shuts off or just drops out
Streaming services are always giving recommendations on the minimum bandwidth for their service tiers.
I’d like to know exactly how much data Netflix / Hulu / Amazon / etc will use if there are no limits!
I’m also interested in seeing the performance of the cable provider’s Roku app (assuming they have one). I always found switching channels to be annoying, because every channel has to load / buffer (vs the instantaneous feed of a traditional coax cable box). ...will a 2gig fiber make the experience equivalent?
It depends on the end server.
Mario S : Well, that’s a generic answer to “how fast can you connect to xx service” , but I don’t think it applies here.
Two reasons: 1) We’re talking about streaming video content, which is highly managed (and the max download that Netflix will allow is WELL below what their servers are CAPABLE of delivering if they removed all restrictions)
2) I’m pretty sure that Netflix has made deals with broadband providers to co-locate their servers for optimal data distribution.
3) Netflix (in the past) made a point to call out the local service providers if the connection was suboptimal. On the client-side.
Perhaps this isn’t the best time, though... considering they may still be throttling the service due to the ongoing global situation
How did you get a hold of the team who schedules the install? They literally hang up or say they can take a message and never call when I inquire. Have to waste tons of time to even get someone who has a clue about what the service is.
I just had enterprise comcast fiber installed and I have a Dream Machine Pro too. I am at a loss. I plugged in the fiber connection to the 10g udm-pro port but I still do not get internet. Do I need to set something up inside the udm-pro settings to get things to work? What did you have to do?
Did Comcast supply you with IP addresses ?
@@LonSeidman Yes, I have some layer 3 ip address information but I'm not sure what all needs to go where. Do I plug information into the WAN2 network or WAN1 network? I tried to set WAN2 to static ip but when I saved it said my settings were invalid. Am I way off here or does any of that sound familiar to you?
I’m moving forward with this but have a quick question, I would like to keep using my Orbi router when I get the service it’s an Orbi pro the one that goes up to 6gbps will i be able to use this? And will I need to buy a modem if I do?
The marketing is misleading on the Orbi product. Its WAN port only supports a gigabit so you will never get close to the full speed of the gigabit pro service.
Dang he even beat my best 7ms latency
Has Peer to Peer bandwidth in the house improved also?
How did Lon find the Comcast headend he was connected to? I have Frontier FIOS and would like to know where my fiber goes.
So way back when I was a kid I had a little cable access show. One day the access coordinator had to go and drop a tape off at the head-end so I got to go inside. This was in the days before digital video playback so the building was filled with automated video tape decks that would play commercials whenever a channel called for a local ad spot.
You should replace your unifi router with an untangle FW or pfsense so you can load balance the 1g and 2g connections.
no use really. He's only getting that 2 gigabit pipe.
How did you get the UDM PRO to train the SFP to 2.5Gbps or did it train to 10Gbps? I have google fiber 2Gbps but when I plug the SFP into the UDM Pro it will only train to 1 Gbps
Comcast provided me with a 10 gig circuit that’s provisioned for 3 - so it just limits the rate they send to me over that pipe.
hey there bud, just a quick question, so i have a gig connection from xfinity and i live in Connecticut, and the max upload speed i am getting is 35. what package do you have? cos you have same upload speed as your download :/
This is their gigabit pro tier
@@LonSeidman so they provide 1gig in their gigabyte pro package also? I thought its only 2 gig
Does this gig connection solve buffer bloat issues? 🤔 Usually when fast internal connection (lan) meets slow external connection (wan) you get delays due to buffer bloat, not important just my own curiosity... random thoughts.
Buffer bloat can be solved with simple QoS. Unless the upload is so bad it doesn't meet the minimum requirement for the application you are trying to use. But in theory, yes, an internet connection that fast should have no buffer bloat problems.
Enraged Bacon Yeah I drool at not having to deal with buffet bloat. I’ve had to use fq_codel and cake to combat buffer bloat. But you have to throttle your connection to just a bit lower speed then what you get from your raw ISP to make it work. Since ISP speeds vary throughout the day some days the ISP speeds dip below the thresholds I’ve set and still see bufferbloat, but I’m guessing this problem can still occur on gig connections if ISP speeds dip throughout the day. Anyways too much info, random thoughts.
I don't understand the suggestion that a faster connection would mean a possibility of going over your data cap, if you have one. I would still have the same (roughly) data I download over a month. Just because I have a faster download speed, I wouldn't
download more stuff, only quicker. I must be missing something...
Does you great gigabit pro slow down a lot in the evening peak hours? Thank you for your channel.
No it’s full blast all the time!
@@LonSeidman Great to hear that.
Any apartment renters here do you have symmetric gigabit internet FIOS, att fiber, Google Fiber, etc? How old is your apartment? Here in the Bay Area it’s very hard to get att fiber unless you live in single family home or apartment complex built within last few years.
Is ATT fiber in your area we are sopost to be running more fiber here next year if we do it's only around $50 for a gig down and up I install for att our new 320 routers even have wifi 6 built into them haha
Lon lives in Verizon territory, but FIOS is not available to him because he would have had it already. AT&T revised their Fiber tiers yesterday. Gig is now $70 for the first 12 months, $90 after. Toast, sells this for $75. The difference is not have HBO Max with Toast. AT&T also re-released 100 and 300 tiers, now with unlimited data at no extra charge.
GBUt you are talking about GPON, not direct active ethernet.
Heyy, do u have any idea about weird situation of me connection..
My connection is of 100mbps both download and upload. But with Google servers ( Google drive, youtube, etc) I get literally gigabit speeds and my SSD/ lan connection seems to be the bottleneck.
Idk how I get gigabit speeds in my 100mbos plan
It’s possible they guarantee you 100 but aren’t throttling it. My Comcast Gigabit Pro connection is actually on a 10 gig circuit but they just allocate and limit it to 3.
@@LonSeidman yess exactly, I shouldn't get speeds above 100mbps bcz they have throttled it to 100 but I do get higher speeds on Google servers.. it just doesn't make sense 😐
I just got upgraded to 1.2Gbps from comcast but get a 1.5Gbps down but only 45 up...... not sure if it's worth nearly 3x the cost to get the faster uplink speeds for me.
Thats what i have i wish they increase there upload
Let us know how it is in 3 or 6 months. ISPs like to give customers "preferred rates" for a while to make them happy, then the bandwidth tanks.
Hey Lon, when you've got everything set up the way you want why not pay somebody four or five hundred bucks to come in who can professionally cable manage your system for once and for all. I'm sure there's somebody available with a good reputation that can do it.
You think a do-it-your-selfer wants to give up that kind of learning experience?
Don't ISPs in the US have peering with major internet giants? I mean I am from India while my base internet is symmetrical 100mbps but it peers to Google/Netflix/Facebook specific services for a gig up/down.
And since the ISPs have a direct line to Google data centers the ping is pretty low (around 2ms on a copper connection)
It’s mainly to google
Me getting 2ms ping on my 10$ fiber plan : stonkss
when you have the guy out to add a few ports maybe throw him a few more dollars to do some cable management
now you know what it feels like to be a 'have'
I am shocked you are not streaming your TV and still using cable. Why do you think it will cost more? For example I watch our local news via UA-cam and that is free.
Your steam download looks like its limited because of your SSD write speed. SATA 3 can only do around 600Mb/s. You should easily achieve 2GB/s on a high quality NVME SSD during a steam download.
Not sure why you are requesting IPv6 routed network from Comcast, cause routers should be able to negotiate that prefix assigned to you. I had applied a couple of years before config to cisco router and it got automatically routed ipv6 subnet for my LAN without any issues. You should have the same concept. Not sure how to configure it for ubiquity.
Unless they changed how it works, yes they will give you static IPv4 addresses but not IPv6. I have a block of 5 static IPv4 addresses but have to use DHCP for IPv6 address. On the Unifi controller, under "networks", I had to set my wan interface to, Connection Type "Using DHCPv6" and Prefix Delegation Size to "64". Originally IPv4 was DHCP as well. I had to and still pay for the "Block of 5 static IPs"
On my gig pro they gave a /48 block of ipv6 for both the 2 gig and 1gig, still can’t figure out how to use them tho!
Michael Bell - I’m not sure about static IPv6 as I’m not knowledgeable about how they work yet but I’m sure there’s somewhere online you can find explaining it. You might need PFsense for that. I have not tried anything other than DHCP with IPv6. It is nice to see that they still gave him a static IPv4 since they’re so scarce now unlike me who had to pay to get one. Regardless unless you’re running mission critical servers FQDN forwarding works so well now it’s not really necessary. I use a domain I got through Google Domains that I use instead of manual IP mapping
It's not technically DHCP but it's called SLAAC with IPv6. Your ISP gives you a /64 for the Prefix Delegation and each client on your network goes through SLAAC to auto-configure itself...
8K streaming when? :-)
Would u mind adding subtitles to your videos? Thanks
