Leaving Frontier DSL once we got cable (not even fiber, just cable!) a couple years back was so freeing. One thing that was unexpectedly bad was their routing.

Leaving Frontier DSL once we got cable (not even fiber, just cable!) a couple years back was so freeing. One thing that was unexpectedly bad was their routing. It was just atrocious. Playing any online game would see ping constantly jump between 50 to 180 ms as their network did... whatever the fuck it wanted to do. I had to use a VPN while gaming just to get a stable ping. Getting the packets out of frontier's network ASAP was the most important thing to have a usable experience. I've never seen anything like it before or since.
